I am a Cultural Anthropologist, Artist and Explorer in Training. I help others to embrace and appreciate diversity and enjoy the differences and ultimately embrace the oneness that we all share. I lived and worked in a remote area of Kenya for 3 years helping bring people together from all over the world to help empower the African women and girl child. I am actively involved in Wildlife conservation and cannot imagine a world without the amazing creatures that lived on the ranch I lived on in Kenya. We can never seperate the wildife from the people living around them…we must support programs that serve to help the peoples living with and around wildlife so that they have ways of making a living without poaching and charcoal burning. Life is hard for these people that are subsistance farmers when there is a drought their crops do not grow and they can’t feed their families and many resort to illegal activities such as poaching to feed their families. I am returning in a few months to help those in the villages I worked in learn about their Human Rights. I am humbled to be a part of so many strong women. I tell everyone just tell someone to do something.
We should all know and help educate others of their Human Rights. I love what I do and can’t imagine not living a life where I am allowed to be free to do what I feel passionate about.
(Note from Joe: I found this through the amazing couch surfing website. I copied the article because i thought you should know about this event. There is even talk of the internet march for those that aren’t up for the trek. The world needs more big thinkers organizing and supporting activities like these. Below is the article, or click on the image above to go to the website.)
Why?
Because we can end world hunger with 10% of what is spent on arms. Imagine how life would be if 30-50% of the arms budget went toward improving people’s lives instead of being used for destruction.
Because eliminating wars and violence means leaving human pre-history behind and taking a giant step forward in the evolution of our species.
Because we are accompanied by the voices of all the war-torn generations that came before us. The echo of their voices still resounds throughout the world, wherever armed conflict leaves its sinister memorial to the dead, disappeared, disabled and displaced.
Because a “world without wars” is an image that opens the future and seeks to become reality in every corner of the planet, as violence gives way to dialog.
The moment has come for the voiceless to be heard! Out of agonizing and urgent need, millions of human beings are crying out for an end to wars and violence.

Technological savvy could turn 600 million tons of turkey guts and other waste into 4 billion barrels of light Texas crude each year
by Brad Lemley, Photography by Tony Law
Gory refuse, from a Butterball Turkey plant in Carthage, Missouri, will no longer go to waste. Each day 200 tons of turkey offal will be carted to the first industrial-scale thermal depolymerization plant, recently completed in an adjacent lot, and be transformed into various useful products, including 600 barrels of light oil.
In an industrial park in Philadelphia sits a new machine that can change almost anything into oil.
Really.
“This is a solution to three of the biggest problems facing mankind,” says Brian Appel, chairman and CEO of Changing World Technologies, the company that built this pilot plant and has just completed its first industrial-size installation in Missouri. “This process can deal with the world’s waste. It can supplement our dwindling supplies of oil. And it can slow down global warming.”
Pardon me, says a reporter, shivering in the frigid dawn, but that sounds too good to be true.
“Everybody says that,” says Appel. He is a tall, affable entrepreneur who has assembled a team of scientists, former government leaders, and deep-pocketed investors to develop and sell what he calls the thermal depolymerization process, or TDP. The process is designed to handle almost any waste product imaginable, including turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even biological weapons such as anthrax spores. According to Appel, waste goes in one end and comes out the other as three products, all valuable and environmentally benign: high-quality oil, clean-burning gas, and purified minerals that can be used as fuels, fertilizers, or specialty chemicals for manufacturing.
Unlike other solid-to-liquid-fuel processes Continue reading We need one of these in every community
I am a Health and Wellness Advisor, creating healthy lives, on at a time.
I am also very ‘green’ minded and believe that the environment has a direct affect on our health and not only encourage but also provide ways for people to create a healthy environemnt in which to live. If we all lived in a healthy environment – our environment outside would improve it’s health.
I was totally disabled some 16 years ago and by making healthy lifestyle choices I was able to build my health back and today I feel better than I did 35 years ago.
Today it is my passion to help as many people as I can to do the same; and in so doing be able to make a difference in their lives and the lives of their family.
There is no greater satisfaction than to hear someone else sharing something they learned from you…it’s nothing extraordinary, just everyday things done and experienced naturally, without the harmful, toxic chemicals. We call it ‘Living in Harmony with Nature’.
Example: Everybody washes their clothes…I wash mine with ‘green’ cleaners, natural enzyme booster to whiten and brighten and biodegradable dryer sheets. Thins that work in harmony with nature in stead of against nature. Nothing extraordinary, but if half the people on the planet did the same thing – WOW! what a difference that would make!!
For various reasons i find it difficult to tell everybody what i really think. Only when people are responsive and willing to hear my rant/preaching will i let it go. With the beautiful invention of video blogging, I can let it out without any concern of whether people are listening or want to hear what i have to say in the first place.
This video was actually a video response of sorts. I was using Brooke’s template, something i think everyone should do. Everyone may not have an audience to say what they really think, and as a result there are likely many people that wonder, “is there anyone else like me?” or “is there anyone that cares about this issue?”. By saying what is really on your mind and making a video of it or using any other mass communication channel, you have a chance of ’safeguarding of all that relates to or affects the life of a person’ (def of: Save and World)
Why is it that hard cold fact is not accepted and welcomed in our modern day?
If you go up to someone and nonchalantly tell them the hard cold truth, do you think they’ll REALLY listen? Doesn’t seem common to me. The pill of truth usually has to be candy coated and administered in the middle of a story or caper. But then there’s the corporate propaganda that you have to weed through first:
“Jiffy brand laundry detergent works like a charm.”
“Your local Chevron station loves to see you smile”
