If you’ve watched Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth, or have been meaning to, you may just find the video below even more thought provoking and informative.
John Doerr starts his Ted talk about climate change by stating simply “I’m really scared, I don’t think we’re going to make it.” Yet, he’s not willing to allow that fear to paralyze him and either should we:
Though it starts off with a heavy heart, Doerr’s speech left me with hope. Find out what companies like Walmart, once thought of as the evil-empire, are doing to make major changes in the world. After all, even if (like me) you suspect they might have began this shift as a PR move, it still forces others to step up and take action.

It is on a promotional page for an upcoming event, but you don’t have to add your name to a list to watch this insightful video. So enjoy!
I am not sure how long his video will be up, but it is a great exploration into Fear, Doubt and Worry. And even better than an exploration, it is a guide to get you to Act in spite of these limiting blocks!
So, don’t be afraid, just watch the video and then let me know what you think – by posting a comment below.
P.S. I don’t get anything for you going over to this page, or if you decide to join his event, I just liked the ideas he presents in his video!
Someone sent this to me over the holidays – actually a couple of people sent it to me, so you may have seen it, too. I thought it was a wonderful gift to receive and a pretty appropriate time to show up during the ‘consumer-ccentric’ holiday season.
If you haven’t seen it, take 2 minutes and 37 seconds to watch Chapter 1 here.
It’s an informative and easy to comprehend, but important, video that explores consumerism’s effect on our environment.
If your like most American’s, you probably know the effect of spending on your wallet, but if you haven’t thought about how it effects our planet, then you might be surprised.
The Good News is Annie Leonard (and the people who put this together) offer solutions for Another Way – easy, everyday, attainable solutions to help us change a system in crisis to one that works for all of us. If you want to watch the full 20 min video try the Story of Stuff website (it was down at the time of this post, but I am sure it will be back up soon, or so I hope). But you can always catch the individual chapters on YouTube, as well: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=FreeRangeStudios
