The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See
One of the few environmental videos that went viral, Greg Caven discusses worst case scenarios in this simple lecture. Facing uncertainty and the choices of the future are both key points.
How it All Ends
Greg Caven returns to discuss global warming in this short video. After being critiqued by thousands, he returns to further explain his theory. Donning several hats, he asks and answers his own questions.
Electricity is something most people take for granted and don’t really have any idea how it’s generated. They just flip a light switch or plug into an outlet and pay the monthly bills for the service. This is amazing considering the fact that people lived without electricity for thousands of years. Even though we’ve only had this luxury for less than 200 years, most of us would have a hard time living without it. If something catastrophic happened or if you just want to live “off the grid”, what are some cool ways to provide the power you need for your own home?
1) Solar – If you live in an area with plentiful sunshine, solar panels would be a likely source to consider. There has been extensive research and advances in technology since solar power was first developed. However, this wouldn’t be a good choice for those who have limited sun. Read more…
A powerful and moving video which shows how much weight words carry and the way in which a few simple words can help change people’s way of thinking… for the better.
“Rather than love, money, faith, or fame, just give me truth.”
How did ‘Global Warming‘ become such a huge and widely accepted scam?
» Could Al Gore the whore be the main culprit, was it part of his campaign in the run-up towards trying to become the next president of the United States!
» Perhaps the ‘global warming’ campaign began it’s life when the UN was presented with a hockey stick graph by Michael Mann et al in 2001.
» Or maybe the discussion on man-made global warming was made popular by Al Gore’s film, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’.
Al Gore bases his whole argument of global warming on one all important piece of evidence taken from ice-core surveys, where scientists drill deep into the ice to look back into Earth’s climate history. The first findings of the drill expedition in Vostock revealed as Al Gore correctly points out is the clear correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature. However his correlation is topsy-turvy to say the least.

Think Outside the Box: -
Our children are the generation of tomorrow. For this simple reason we must nurture, educate, and pamper to their every need.
A bored child can be brought to life by a simple cardboard box, which a fertile imagination can turn into anything from a den to a spaceship. Before you recycle the box, let your child have endless hours of fun with a simple cardboard box and some paint. Of course, this simple concept can be used for most household items which we throw away without even thinking twice about (milk cartons, cereal boxes, etc). You get the idea.
Go Green, Less is More: -
It requires much more land, water and energy to extract food from animals, than from vegetables. For example, in the USA it takes 140 litres of water to produce one kilogram of wheat, but a whopping 4,400 litres of water to produce a kilogram of beef.
Modern furniture and electronic gadgets and gizmo’s can emit enough chemicals to make the air in our homes and offices more hazardous than the air outdoors. To ensure the air you breath isn’t toxic, why not surround yourself with vibrant and life enhancing plants.
How can I protect the rainforest – the lungs of our planet? How can I conserve energy around the home – and save money at the same time? Is nuclear power a threat to our world or the answer to its problems?

During this twenty part series of posts, you will learn practical and different ways of making not only your life more sustainable, but also easing the burden on our planet’s resources.
The beauty of humanity and the diversity and rich culture in which we all live never ceases to amaze me. This video is a stroke of genius. Similar to the Sony Bravia advert with the millions of balls rolling down the hill and the most amazing, beautiful soundtrack I have heard in a long long time – Jose Gonzales – Heartbeats. This advert is on the same par if not better.
The boys at GE – General Electric have come up with a real humdinger advert. Elegant, beautiful and a must view. In a lot of cases the adverts on TV are typically a lot better than the content of the programmes they are filling out for. This advert is no exception. Read more…
