We Are All Connected

I came across this video from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and thought it perfect as we round up our lessons on ecosophy. This is the basics, this is what it is all about according to that philosophy: we are all connected. I have found it interesting to read up on the subject, and I am happy so many of you find it interesting, I have enjoyed reading many of the texts you handed in. Enjoy this beautiful little video!

The burning house

I came across this art project a while ago, and have been thinking about it a few times since. I want to share this with you. Here is a description:

The idea is that although we spent so much money on material things, what we would take with us if the house started burning are not the most expensive stuff we own, but small things with a lot of affectionate value. Even though these are just picture of things, it somehow seems very personal and private. I really like it, and it makes me think what my pic would look like. If any of you would like to share your pic, I'll be more than happy to post it on this post!

See the pics here.

America's Dead Sea

Sometimes it seems like the fear we have when it comes to our environment is all about the future. It is important to be reminded that the things we do to our planet affects us here and now as well. This is from World Press: 

"Salton Sea in the Colorado Desert of Southern California is a former tourist destination that has turned into an environmental disaster. Born by accident 100 years ago when the Colorado River breached an irrigation canal, the lake soon became a popular resort. Yet with no outflow, and with agricultural runoff serving as its only inflow, the lake’s waters grew increasingly toxic. Though the resort towns were soon abandoned, the skeletons of these structures are still there; ghost towns encrusted in salt."

Isn't this scary and sad? Watch a short film here, notice how cleverly they use the old soundtrack with the new pictures.
