Paul Hawken: Blessed Unrest, Bioneers 2006

How the largest movement in the world came into being, and why no one saw it coming. Paul Hawken has spent over a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice.
From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location, and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media. Like nature itself, it is organizing from the bottom up, in every city, town, and culture. and is emerging to be an extraordinary and creative expression of people's needs worldwide.

I watch this video every day: it's so inspiring. I volunteer for one of the organizations Paul talks about: it makes me realize how important this work I do is! I work to keep our food system safe and free from corporate control. It's my vision to see each of us able to access and afford quality food anywhere in the world.

WE MUST ADD SPECIES, we have gotten to this place because we have dominated animal, bird, marine life species. We have exploited mother earth and ALL her creatures, for human benefit. WE MUST include veganism as the imperative for agriculture as we cannot treat other beings with such disrespect and violence, and want peace, health, sustainable food systems! Please watch the film Earthlings. Please go to Mercy for Animals and LOOK at investigations. We coexist, we do not DOMINATE! VEGAN is PEACE

This is trans-modernism, full-length! I love it! ^^

But "blue"-people will hate this... they don't want community, they want own gain. Own gain in this: you now get the tool to easily mean something, you have the power, and you will gain a livable green planet. ^^

Also to the "orange" people: this is our duty! Lets make things right! :D

and of course what liberal leftist hippie feel good movement would it be without some peruvian flute playing music?

[kermitcintronsucks]

He's talking about communism and leftist liberal dogma. Hippie bullshit.

how'a it going ? well. to answer your question. no. no hawken isn't talking anout zeitgeist. i wondered this before. if you watch a movie called " thrive ". it's the full length version, 2:08:40, here on youtube. around 1:42:00 in there, it is touched on what he talks about here. if you watch the movie. please get back to me in a comment. i'm interested in your point of view. thanks.

Is he talking about the ZeitGeist Movement? :D Looks like a similar idea, just poorly integrated.

This video seems to be just a self promotion of a profit-based organisation =)

I'm not the one to judge, though

democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding who's for dinner. remember: any form of government is tyranny.
