A DAY IN WIM HOF'S GARDEN
WIM HOF IS AN A AMAZING TEACHER ABOUT HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR BODY, BUT ALSO AN AMAZING GARDENER. TAKE A LOOK AT HIS GARDEN AND LEARN A BIT ABOUT ENERGY IN NATURE.
BUILD A RAISED BED FOR YOUR BACKYARD GARDEN
HERE IS A REALLY COOL VIDEO SHOWING HOW TO MAKE A REALLY COOL AND INEXPENSIVE RAISED GARDEN BED. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO GARDEN AS YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR SOIL BECAUSE YOU ARE PLANTING ON TOP OF YOUR YARD, AND IT’S MOVABLE IF YOU EVER NEED TO MOVE IT BECAUSE OF SEASONAL SUN AND SHADE. QUICK TIP ALSO IS BEFORE YOU PICK A SPOT, WATCH THE AREA FOR A WHILE, MONITOR HOW MUCH SUN IT RECEIVES DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF YEAR, SO YOU PICK A SPOT THAT IS THE BEST. AND GET OUT THERE AND GROW.
COMPOSTING, RIGHT IN YOUR GARDEN, GENIUS
THIS VIDEO IS SUPER COOL. WHY COMPOST YOUR KITCHEN SCRAPS IN A BIN WHEN YOU CAN JUST BURY THEM IN YOUR GARDEN. IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT YOU COULD BURY YOUR WASTE IN THE GARDEN BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT BREAKS DOWN TURNS TO NUTRIENTS, AND YOU AREN’T HAVE TO DIG AROUND AND DISTURB THE SOIL. WE ARE DEFINATELY GONNA TRY THIS, IT CUTS DOWN ON YOUR GARBAGE AND HELPS TO GROW MORE FOOD ON YOUR OWN, NATURALLY. IF YOU DON’T CURRENTLY HAVE A GARDEN, WE RECOMMEND STARTING ONE, IT’S SO GOOD FOR THE SOUL, NURTURING AND WORKING WITH NATURE IS THE BEST FEELING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET TO EAT THE STUFF YOU GROW.
UNBROKEN GROUND - SO EYE OPENING
UNBROKEN GROUND IS AN AMAZING FILM ABOUT NATURE, ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF APPRECIATING AND WORKING WITH NATURE TO LIVE. PUT OUT BY THE BRAND PATAGONIA, IT SHOWS ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO GET FOOD FROM THE EARTH SAFELY AND NATURALLY BASED ON THE WAYS THE ANCIENTS DID IT AND I THINK HOW NATURE INTENDED. PLEASE WATCH IT, ITS SO WORTH IT. THANK YOU TO PATAGONIA FOR MAKING FILMS LIKE THIS.
SKIDROW CARNIVAL OF LOVE
THIS IS SO COOL.... WHEN I LOOKED UP JUSTIN BALDONI, I REALIZED HE CREATED SOMETHING CALLED THE SKIDROW CARNIVAL OF LOVE. I LOVE THIS, AS A CLOTHING MAKER WE GET ALL OF OUR FABRIC IN THE FASHION DISTRICT OF LA, WHICH IS ALSO CALLED "SKIDROW", AND DRIVING DOWN THE STREETS IN THAT PART OF TOWN IT IS A BIG WAKE UP CALL, WHEN YOU REALIZE HOW WE TREAT PEOPLE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. AS AMERICA WE LOOK DOWN ON OTHER COUNTRIES FOR TREATING THEIR PEOPLE POORLY, BUT SKIDROW IS BAD, IN A COUNTRY SO ABUNDANT WITH EVERY RESOURCE, WE SHOULD BE DOING BETTER. THE MORE WE DRIVE THROUGH THE MORE IT DRIVES US CRAZY THAT WE AREN'T DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT HONESTLY THESE DAYS IT'S REALLY HARD TO HELP, A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS ARE BUSINESSES, AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE REALLY HELPING THE PEOPLE NOT FOR PROFIT BUT BECAUSE THEY WANT THESE PEOPLE TO DO BETTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE THAT ORGANIZATION. CHECK IT OUT THE WAYFARER FOUNDATION RUNS IT AND I HAVE ATTACHED THE LINK FOR THEM.

DON'T NUKE OUR COAST
LAST WEEKEND WE JOINED OUR COMMUNITY IN STANDING UP TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON. STARTING THIS MONTH THEY PLAN TO BURY NUCLEAR WASTE AT SAN ONOFRE, ALONG THE COASTLINE, IN CANISTERS THAT ARE PRONE TO CRACKING. THEY ARE PUTTING OUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, COASTLINE AND ENVIRONMENT AT RISK OF EXPOSURE TO RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL. CONTACT SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS AND REQUEST THAT SHE COME VISIT SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, WE NEED HER TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS!
SPECIAL THANKS TO @TEAMZISSOU FOR ORGANIZING THIS PROTEST!
IN SEARCH OF BALANCE, IT'S ALL CONNECTED
I just watched this and all i can say is wow... So good.. When are we going to get it, we are polluting our planet and we are polluting our bodies and people can't figure out why everyone is sick. We need to stop calling fast food "food" its not, food is meant to be fuel for the body, its like saying do you want super unleaded gas or sand for your car, and the fast food is the SAND. This is a great film to get started with and there are so many other nutritional documentaries these days. We need to all wake up and start treating our planet and bodies so poorly. GO CHECK IT OUT..
STAND WITH STANDING ROCK #NODAPL
WOMENS MARCH ON WASHINGTON - DOWN TOWN LA
LEONARDO PART 2
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT SPEECH, WE CAN ALL PRETEND IT'S NOT REAL, THAT IT'S MADE UP TO MAKE MONEY, BUT GLOBAL CHANGE IS HAPPENING AND IT'S FIXABLE IF WE WORK FOR IT. WE ARE IN A TIME WHEN WE CAN MAKE THE CHANGES THAT WILL FIX OUR PROBLEM, BUT WE NEED TO ACT TODAY, RIGHT NOW. LIKE GHANDI SAID BE THE CHANGE, WE WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE, IT'S NOT EVEN HARD TO FIND, IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU DO THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR THE WORLD, THINK OF THE FUTURE, HOW HAPPY OUR CHILDREN WILL BE THAT WE CHANGED OUR WAYS AND GAVE THEM A PLANET THAT IS THRIVING AND NOT DYING.
SANDWICH MAN - ALLAN LAW
ALLAN LAW IS AMAZING AND A TRUE HERO. HE'S DOING A JOB THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL SAY IS NOT GONNA SAVE THE WORLD, SO WHY BOTHER, BUT TO THE PEOPLE IN HIS AREA, IT'S SAVING THEIR WORLD AND THAT'S HOW YOU CHANGE THE WORLD, ONE PLACE AT A TIME. AND IF MORE PEOPLE GET INSPIRED BY THIS AND DO THIS WORK IN THEIR AREA IT COULD SPREAD AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL SAVE THE WORLD. I REALLY AM BLOWN AWAY BY HIS WORKS, HE SAYS HE SLEEPS FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS A NIGHT, AND IT'S IN THE FRONT SEAT OF HIS MINI VAN, HE HASN'T SLEPT IN A BED IN 13 YEARS. HE SPENDS ALL HIS TIME MAKING AND DELIVERING FOOD TO HELP THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT. THIS IS THE WAY WE ALL SHOULD LIVE, BUT SADLY, HE IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHAT A GREAT INSPIRATION TO LIVE BETTER, EVEN IF YOU WENT OUT TODAY AND GAVE OUT 1 SANDWICH OR 1 TOOTHBRUSH, IT'S A START, AND YOU GOTTA START SOMEWHERE. SPREAD THE WORD, I THINK HE DESERVES A MEDAL OR WHATEVER IS THE HIGHEST REWARD FOR BEING A GREAT HUMAN BEING. BUT AT LEAST IF MORE PEOPLE TEL HIS STORY, THEN THE MESSAGE CAN MOVE ON TO OTHERS AND INSPIRE THEM TO HELP ANOTHER. ALL THE THINGS KILLING THIS WORLD ARE NOT CREATED BY BAD GUYS, THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE WE STOPPED CARING FOR EACHOTHER, THE WORLD WILL NOT BE FIXED BY PRAYERS AND DONATIONS, IT WILL BE FIXED WHEN PEOPLE REALIZE THAT HELPING ONE ANOTHER ISN'T THAT HARD, AND WHEN YOU CARE ABOUT EACHOTHER YOU WON'T WANT TO POLLUTE AND DESTROY THINGS, OR KEEP EVERYTHING TO OURSELVES, AND YOU WILL REALIZE HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO SHARE AND TO HELP OTHERS. THANK YOU ALLAN LAW, YOU ARE AN ANGEL SENT TO INSPIRE US ALL.
IF WE WAIT FOR THE MEEK TO INHERIT THE EARTH, THERE WONT BE MUCH LEFT.
THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE QUOTE, FROM BOB HUNTER , GREENPEACE FOUNDER.
BOB HUNTER - FROM PAUL WATSON
BOB HUNTER PASSED A WHILE BACK, BUT HONESTLY I NEVER REALLY HEARD OF HIM, I KNEW OF GREENPEACE AND PAUL WATSON, BUT NEVER REALLY KNEW THE STORY. IT'S ALMOST MYTH OR FOLKLORE, THIS MAN WAS A LEGEND. PAUL WATSON POSTED THIS WHEN BOB PASSED, I POSTED IT HERE FOR YOU TO READ, IT'S GOOD, AND ITS INSPIRING TO HEAR HOW SOMEONE HAD LIVED AS A HERO, BUT I THINK HE WAS JUST DOING WHAT HE FELT WAS RIGHT, HOPEFULLY MORE PEOPLE WILL STAND UP THE WAY HE DID.
THE TRUE COST
THE TRUE COST IS A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HOW CLOTHES ARE MADE. IT SHOWS HOW THINGS REALLY GET MADE AND WHAT IT COST THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM. ITS A GOOD STORY THAT SHOWS A LOT OF INJUSTICE THAT GOES ON IN THE WORLD TODAY. BUT WHEN YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE KEEP IN MIND, ITS NOT JUST FASHION THAT IS MADE THIS WAY. IT'S EVERYTHING. I HAVE PERSONALLY VISITED MANY FACTORIES ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEY ARE NOT ALL THIS WAY, IN FACT, YOU CANT LOOK AT OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD AND THNK THEY ARE LIKE THE U.S. OR EUROPE, POOR COUNTRIES ARE TOUGH, IF YOU DONT WORK, YOU DON'T EAT, ITS THAT EASY. ITS NOT LIKE KIDS MISS SCHOOL TO WORK, THERE IS NO SCHOOL FOR POOR KIDS, THEY EITHER GET WORK OR THEY BEG. SO, TO ME PERSONALLY, DEFINATELY GO SEE THIS MOVIE, ITS AN EYE OPENER, BUT ITS MORE ABOUT BEING MINDFUL, IF YOU SHOP AT WAL MART, YOU ARE SUPPORTING CHEAP HARMFUL LABOR, BUT IF YOU SPEND A LITTLE MORE YOU WILL GET SOMETHING THAT IS MADE A LITTLE MORE FAIR. BUT REALLY WE ALL KNOW THIS. JUST BE FAIR.
BARAKA
BARAKA IS ANOTHER MOVIE YOU MUST FIND, ITS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE QATSI MOVIE, AS THE GUY THAT FILMED THE QATSI MOVIE MADE THIS ONE, IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF. A MOVIE WITH ZERO DIALOGUE WILL BRING YOU TO TEARS JUST WITH THE VISUALS AND SOUND, BUT IT WILL ALSO BRING YOU JOY. IT AMAZING FIND IT, IT WILL BE WORTH IT
KOYAANISQATSI - THEQATSI TRILOGY
KOYAANISQATSI IS A HOPI WORD MEANING "LIFE OF OUT BALANCE" IT IS ALSO THE NAME OF A MOVIE MADE IN THE LATE 70'S. THIS MOVIE WAS LIFE CHANGING FOR ME, VISUALLY ITS MIND BLOWING, YOU GET LOST IN WHAT YOU ARE SEEING AND SOMETIMES CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SEEING, ITS AMAZING. THE OTHER THING THAT MAKES IT AMAZING IS THE MUSIC, PHILLIP GLASS CRUSHED IT HERE, THE MUSIC IS SO DRAMATIC, IT HAS SO MUCH FEELING TO IT. THE MOVIE IS JUST TIME-LAPSE FILM OF AREAS THAT WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY. I WOULD SAY ITS VERY ARTSY, BUT ALSO SO MUCH FEELING. I RECOMMEND YOU FIND THESE MOVIES, THERES 3 IN THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY, AND I THINK ARE PRETTY HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS, BUT WORTH IT. KOYAANISQATSI - POWAQQATSI - NAQOYQATSI.
TESLA POWER WALL - WOW...
TO START OFF, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS, I JUST CAME ACROSS IT AND IM BLOWN AWAY. FIRSTLY, WHY IS THIS NEW? EVEN IF THIS ISNT A PERFECT ANSWER TO MODERN POWER SUPPLY, AT LEAST SOMEONE IS TRYING SOMETHING BESIDES DESTROYING THE PLANET AND USING UP RESOURCES THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED. IN FACT IM OFTEN BAFFLED THAT TESLA TALKED ABOUT A WIRELESS POWER SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE FREE, LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL TO CREATE, AND 50 YEARS LATER WE ARE JUST SEEING THIS? I KNOW ALONG THE WAY PEOPLE HAVE CREATED AMAZING THINGS, BUT THEY GET SHUT DOWN BY THE BIG CORPORATIONS AND OIL POWERS, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE PROFITS. BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO GET EVERYONE RILED UP, I AM EXCITED TO SEE THIS TECHNOLOGY HERE, AND I HOPE IT GETS APPROVED AND EVERYONE GETS IT AND IT HELPS THE EARTH. WE DONT LIVE ON THIS EARTH, WE ARE PART OF THIS EARTH, SO WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT AND TRY OUR BEST TO KEEP THE EARTH GOING FOR OUR CHILDREN'S GRANDCHILDREN AND BEYOND.
CORRUGATED BAMBOO ROOFING SHEETS - THIS IS A REALLY COOL IDEA, WHY AREN'T WE ALREADY USING THIS, WORLDWIDE
YAO MING - THIS GUY RULES, WHO NEW?
