NATURE FOR PRESIDENT

To reinstate NFP’s Movie of Week, here is a great documentary awarded at the Sundance Festival. “Blue Gold – World Water Wars” is not a movie about saving the environment, it’s about saving ourselves. There is no news in seeing natural resources being brutally abused for the interest of a few, but when it comes to something as elemental for our survival as water, this movie will make you rethink about something that, until now, you probably took for granted. And it depends on us that this doesn’t detonate the wars of a not so distant future.

Researchers from MIT developed the Seaswarm. A potential autonomous army of oil cleaners that can navigate propelled by solar energy and communicate with each other via wifi and GPS systems that allow them to track spills from their edges and work inwards. They can absorb 20 times their weight of oil and digest it onboard, so it can continue collecting.

Farm for the Future is a one hour documentary by Tim Green and Rebecca Hosking that invites us to re examine the way we harvest from Nature. Leaving all technology aside, staying away from pesticides, fertilizers, and even more environmentally friendly and healthier methods such as hydroponics, this is a perfect testimony that there is nothing like going back to the basics. The better we understand Nature’s undeniable government, the more we can contribute to it. We have the capability. What are you voting for?

We’ve talked about it on previous posts, but this TED’s video by Jeremy Rifkin puts it better than ever. It talks and illustrates about empathy as a key part of our consciousness, that has helped us, not only survive but develop as well.

With no doubt, the most life-changing event we ever experienced. We all knew someone, or know someone who lost someone, we all spent days after that with no sleep, trying to find explanations, trying to put pieces together, and most of all, developing more and more questions that were never answered.
