Hi ma belles,
There is plenty of reason for feeling blue about the environment nowadays.
In today's One Earth Blog, I share some pretty scary video on what mercury does to the brain, another of a scientist explaining the connection between mercury and neurological diseases.
Okay, that's the bad news.
But here's a link to a speech in Shiprock, New Mexico last summer where Winona LaDuke tells why coal fired electric plants are bad, but also how we can replace them with renewable energy technologies like wind and solar for a lot less.

But, there's also the good news from Jenny McCarthy who shows us how 8 or 10 vaccines went to nearly 40 in the last few years. If we recognize that's too much mercury unless the baby weighs 4 hundred pounds. We can give fewer vaccines, over a greater period of time and encourage breastfeeding for natural immunity for infants. See the video of Jenny McCarthy to learn all she did to help her son heal from autism.
On another thread that solves bottle waste problems and homes for our poorest families at the same time. See what can communities do to recycle glass and plastic bottles, cans and tires, teach home building skills, employ and train people, and provide beautiful, affordable and amazing homes for women, children and families in our urban, rural and reservation communities.
Collect bottles, cans and tires and build houses for our nearly 38 million in poverty.
Just see how Maria Jesus's Casa a la Botteilles was built in Bolivia and the Earthships in Taos, New Mexico built of bottles, cans and tires that have modern conveniences, even wifi.
TouchArt sends out a call to Dean Kamen to share his water generating engines for homes for our communities that still lack potable water in Navajo Nation, in Northern New Mexico and other communities in need across America. A good start would be Martin Luther King III's Realizing the Dream Poverty Initiative in America Network of 50 beloved communities.
Like the Hopi Elders said the prophecy reminds us, "We are the ones we are waiting for."

Every time I see the photograph above or me holding our third baby boy Raoul Justis, I'm brought back to a happy time when we raised our three oldest children on the rez in Navajo Nation in Tuba City.
Raoul is now about to turn 21 in July, studying cultural anthropology at UNM and starring in the independent film REJECTION being filmed right now in Santa Fe.
