Breathing Earth
Breathing Earth is a real-time simulation displays the CO2 emissions of every country in the world, as well as their birth and death rates. Awesome simulation that really puts things in perspective.
Our Ideal Future
by Jacque Fresco
If you have watched the Zeitgeist Documentary, Moving Forward, they explain this concept of the Venus Project. More specifically, the Venus Project, is way of life built upon science, sustainability, conservation of resources, peace, and happiness for humankind. Check out the website and watch Moving Forward if you have not already because this is important. The fact that we have the ability to live the way that is planned through this project and yet we are not doing so is immensely disappointing. I want this world more than anything, it is beautiful.
Delicious Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread
This bread was so delicious to the point where I wish I hadn't been so full so I could've ate more :)
I made it with my boyfriend one weekend because we love baking together and it has become our favorite things so far. The process is a little more intricate but well worth it. The only suggestion we have to add to the recipe is an icing drizzled across the top.
The Unsettling of America by Wendell Berry
People who set their lives against destruction have necessarily confronted in themselves the absurdity that they have recognized in their society. They have seen the governments that exploit and oppress the people they are sworn to serve and protect, medical procedures that produce ill health, schools that preserve ignorance, and methods of transportation that create more distance than they bridge.
This realization has become the typical moral crisis of our time. Once our personal connection to what is wrong becomes clear, then we have to choose: we can go on as before, recognizing our dishonesty and living with it the best we can, or we can begin the effort to change the way we think and live....
