When my Mom was alive she couldn't mow the lawn and wanted to get rid of the old behemoth electric mower we had. She found a great gardener who was only charging $15 and he's come and mow the lawn every other week. Then his prices started to go up until they were $30 each time and he's only show up sometimes once a month. He wasn't really doing anything else like fertilizing the lawn so there were weeds taking over and we decided to make a change.When my Mom was alive she couldn't mow the lawn and wanted to get rid of the old... more

Più che un documentario, quasi un inno all'armonia tra macchina e natura, Life Cycles è la storia di una “pista”, metafora di ogni esistenza: quella dell'uomo e degli strumenti che esso crea per superare ogni limite, quella delle strade e dei percorsi intrapresi, quella degli scenari vitali che tutto comprendono e restituiscono emozioni ad ogni ritorno di stagione.Più che un documentario, quasi un inno all'armonia tra macchina e natura,... more

#Canada hates unethical oil: http://clicktotweet.com/qZt7B | And so does @NaomiAKlein and @SapienceFilm. The world needs more Canada.
Alberta's Tar Sands are a true embarrassment for us Canadians; not only is it a human rights crisis for the Indigenous communities living in Alberta and British Columbia, but an environmental disaster of epic proportions.
Many pipelines transport this dirty oil all around North America, and our exports make us the United States' biggest provider of oil. In the last few years, a new extension to a current pipeline has been proposed to carry Tar Sands oil all the way to Texas, putting some of North America's most fragile ecosystems and waterways in serious peril.
Bill McKibben and his team at 350.org helped spearhead a movement called Tar Sands Action (http://www.tarsandsaction.org), enlisting the help of people all over the US and Canada willing to express their dismay and anger about this possible new pipeline.
As of November 6th, thousands of people have risked arrest, standing in front of the White House, as well as Canada's Parliament in Ottawa, to protest.PLEASE SHARE this Thought Bubble by RETWEETING:

What are you wearing right now? Tube socks from China? A Patagonia fleece? A pair of pants made from hemp? Most people probably don’t think that much about the social and environmental impact of our clothing choices.
But our guest this week on Sea Change Radio, Natalia Allen, believes that you don’t have to be wearing a tee-shirt with a slogan to make a statement with your clothes. She’s been called an “conscientious fashionista” who not only promotes more responsible consumer behavior, encouraging us all to think about the environmental and human costs of cheap clothing and textiles, she’s actually producing clothing and accessories that give consumers a stylish set of alternatives.
Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise talks with Natalia Allen about making fashion more sustainable, and sustainability more fashionable.
