Inviting Ode readers to be a focus group for a prototype of a site a group of us have developed which is the first Website devoted to highlighting the voices of the sustainability movement. The video and audio programs are presented to educate and inspire people, particularly affluent boomers and their adult children to adopt sustainabie lifestyles.

We are interested in your feedback and suggestions for the site at www.earthsayers.tv. Because it is a prototype, the site includes information about us and our plans. Are you inspired, educated, and/or motivated by the content on the site? Would you recommend it to others?


GROUP MESSAGES:

Trailer from The Global Oneness Project film, A Thousand Suns. Visit EarthSayers.tv to see trailer bit.ly/SymJS

A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores two interrelated threats to the Gamo Highlands: 1) the evangelistic aspirations of the protestant church that are destroying the Gamos indigenous spirituality and governance systems; and 2) the efforts of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), a Western aid organization which is spending hundreds of millions of dollars bringing chemical pesticides, fertilizers and‚ improved seeds to the continent. Through these external forces we gain insight into the modern worlds untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature. And we see how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.
