Visualizing A Plenitude Economy

This fun animation provides a vision of what a post-consumer society could look like, with people working fewer hours and pursuing re-skilling, homesteading, and small-scale enterprises that can help reduce the overall size and impact of the consumer economy. Narrated by economist and best-selling author Juliet Schor.

Honesty: The Only Policy

Don’t believe the lies.  Don’t allow yourself to be spoon-fed information.  Real freedom, true freedom is not free (currently).  Every purchase is a vote.  Every donation is a vote.  Even when voting with dollars there are those out there blocking your way to the ballet box?  Don’t give up.  If you run into a roadblock, go around it, under it, over it or through it.  Let your voice be heard.  Let your vote be counted.  Don’t buy into the bull$hit.  Be the change you want to see in the world.  Buy the change you want to see in the world.

What do MasterCard, Visa, Bank of America, Paypal and Western Union all have in common? They help you pay for what you want? Well, yes… that is unless you want to help WikiLeaks make the world a better place. To see the shocking details, please go to http://www.wikileaks.org/banking-blockade.html

Conversations with Great Minds: Tom Shadyac

I’m posting this video because of the first half, but it’s all worth watching.  I’m looking forward to seeing Shadyac’s film “I AM”.  If you’ve seen it already I would love to hear your thoughts.  🙂

Renowned director and filmmaker, Tom Shadyac joins Thom for the first half hour of “Conversations with Great Minds”. They discuss how his love for film-making and how a very difficult experience led him to make a seminal documentary about some of the biggest challenges facing the world. In the second half of the show, Thom discusses the House’s decision to pass Speaker Boehner’s budget plan in the Weekly Rumble.

And here’s the trailer for “I AM”:

Oh!  And an awesome followup interview:

Government: Earth

What exactly is government anyway?  What is its purpose?  How does it work?  How should it work?  😕

Solar Roadways: The Prototype

Bunny recently turned me on to this clip, figuring it was right up my alley and she was right.  People always have those “when, where and how” questions, and I am always pleased to offer up such a clip to answer said questions.

The Solar Roadways project is working to pave roads with solar panels that you can drive on. Co-founder Scott Brusaw has made some major steps forward since our first visit back in 2007, so we visited him again earlier this year for an exclusive update on the project, including the first ever video recorded of the Solar Roadways prototype! For more information visit http://www.solarroadways.com . This Solar Roadway project will be featured in the upcoming feature film by YERT – Your Environmental Road Trip.

Republicans Against Science?

I just read this article from The New York Times that came out on 08/28/2011, and felt it was well worth sharing.  Ignorance is only bliss up until it bites you in the ass.
