Guys,

I know this is not a blog about environmental and social issues, but still, I need to share this video with you. This video is an eye opener for many of us and I truly hope you too will take 20 minutes to watch it and become more aware on what is actually going on with our planet at this very moment.

The Story of Stuff or "What's going on with our planet at this very moment?"

The name of this short movie is “The story of stuff” and it can be seen here ->

Excerpt from The Story of Stuff web site:
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.”

And this is a little preview so you get an idea on what makes it so important for all of us who share this little planet of ours:

Please, take 20 minutes, call a friend or someone to watch it with you The Story of Stuff Movie ->

Don’t spend a dime for Christmas!

Be different! Be among the first in this new revolution! Say NO to the tyranny of the new age called Christmas shopping pressure. Marketing companies see you as a sheep that only needs to work – earn and spend. But, guess what, it doesn’t say anywhere that you have to spend money for Christmas!!! I checked in the Bible the other day. I checked the Constitution as well. You DON’T NEED TO SPEND MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS. Nothing bad will happen to you.

To give to the ones you love is fine. It’s cool, but here is another good news – they will appreciate the time you took to make something for them with your own hands. They will appreciate it, that’s for sure.

Make a picture, a drawing, a poem or frame a photography. Make a cake or prepare a dinner surprise. Think think think! Don’t just rush in some super-store and spend spend spend just because everyone does it!

Be creative. Be yourself. Don’t be a sheep just following the herd.
