You’re in the ultimate love relationship with Earth — she carries you from birth to death, and provides everything you need in life.
Now when she needs you most,
will you show up for her?...

Eagle and the Condor
A teacher and healer who carries his tribe’s ancient teachings — who
comes from a people who can still
hear the voices of nature —
stands facing a group of college students… and begins to speak…

Green Nation
He’s a radio DJ and he’s been reading the news:
ice caps melting, acidified oceans rising,
coral reefs dying, whales choked on plastic…
He leans into the microphone,
"Earth's on fire,
and it'll take an epic force for good
to solve this thing!
Contact the station now and let us know —
Are you in?…

Bird Thing
You are a seabird. You fish. The ocean is your home, your life, your joy, your sustenance.
Today the surface looks different, but you know fish are down there somewhere…
You sense something is wrong, but will you dive anyway?

Bleed
Whenever I hear of another animal injured, killed, or made extinct at the hands of humanity, I feel as though my heart is bleeding… But I imagine that sorrow is nothing compared to what its parent must feel…

Zero Footprint Man
This is based on tales of a local guy
who made it his mission to live
a zero footprint life.
Since it was way before there was
much talk about climate change,
how did he know?..
Was he listening to the Earth more deeply
than the rest of us had been?…

A Dare
Since reducing meat and dairy consumption will help prevent climate change...
Dare 1: Go vegan for a month and report what happens…. (Too hard? Ok, then eat two more vegan meals a week for a month and report back how it goes…) Dare 2: Dance in your kitchen while cooking a vegan meal —
like the folks in this next video did!...

Jane
Everything about her stems from harmony
She sees the connections —
All life is a web of light
pulsing with consciousness,
love, mystery...
Love pours from her and back to her
as she weaves her way
through all the luminous threads

Man In the Moon
They say a huge mass the size of Mars crashed into Earth
and a piece of her body floated off into lunar space
They say it’s the Man in The Moon
who keeps a distant watch
over all our tribulations…
But what does he see and feel,
and where does he go
when the Moon goes dark?…

Perfectly Beautiful
Awesome
Miraculous
Galaxies in a dewdrop
Fractals streak the sky
Golden ratios unfurling in ferns, shells, storms
Sweet sounds and wild symphonies emerge
Beauty that’s almost too much to bare
Blink, open, see
Give thanks
