TED Talk Thursday – Graham Hill: Less stuff, more happiness

by | Nov 3, 2011 | Sustainability, TED Talks, Video

For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery of them from www.ted.com:

“TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”

According to www.ted.com:

“Writer and designer Graham Hill asks: Can having less stuff, in less room, lead to more happiness? He makes the case for taking up less space, and lays out three rules for editing your life.”

“Graham Hill is the founder of TreeHugger.com; he travels the world to tell the story of sustainability, and tweets at @GHill.”

Having moved recently, I can agree. I have way too much stuff!

Worldwide Tipping Point – Get Inspired

by | Jul 15, 2010 | Oneness, Spiritual Awakening, Video

I recently found my way to this website, Worldwide Tipping Point, and it inspires me. I want to share a couple of the videos featured on this site, then I hope you, too, will be inspired to add your energy to this list. Since the 1980’s and the Cold War, those of us old enough to be around then remember the “Hundredth Monkey” theory, the idea the when there is a critical mass of knowledge in a species, the whole species changes. We saw this happen with the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall. We know we are facing a much more crucial tipping point now. Either humans will change and survive as a species or we will perish. Listen to this videos. Be the tipping point.

I am so inspired when I see the youth of today stepping forward to make this change happen. Visit this website. Let yourself be inspired. Let that inspiration live you. I love you. Thank you!
