Globalized Trash - Act Local, Share Global (Full Version)

As long as we live, and even in death, we will leave our footprint on Mother Earth. I believe that through a concerted effort locally we can dramaticallyreduce our footprint globally.

Through sharing our thoughts, ideas and practices regarding how we cut back on our trash, we have the potential to affect others around the world.

We are no longer confined by distance; we have technology that allows us to amplify our local efforts so that others around the world might find new and creative ideas that they can apply in their lives. The opposite is also true in that those who share with us have the opportunity to help us grow, and become even more green than we already are.

It is my sincere hope that you will watch this video (you can watch the "lite" version if you prefer, but will miss a lot of examples), and then post a video of your own in response, sharing your thoughts on reducing, recycling, reusing the things you create as you move through life.

We can make a difference. We can make a very big difference just by sharing small things like how we take care of our refuse.

Please make a video response and share your thoughts, as well as your acts with the rest of the world.

And please help me to expand this concept and make our use of YouTube more than just a "fun place to be"; help us all to make it an eco-conscious experience.

I love you!

I'm looking at getting a better camera so I CAN vid-response but really all I do right now is reuse towels and containers (there's no recycling around here...:( ) and I recently bought a bike so I could ride to work.

I'm not fond of the Lite version. :/ pardon my soapbox but it's an insult to the issue as much as it is telling about current society. a shame there's little to do about people's mock-ADD.

BTW: I like the hair but it was cuter long :)

I know what you mean. And I didn't want to cut out the stuff I talked about here in this version because it misses the entire point. But if you look at the number of people who watched THAT version, compared to THIS version, ... well, the numbers speak of truth. Everyone wants a quick answer to everything and don't want to invest the time. Thanks for your comments, and reusing towels and containers if wonderful! I really appreciate your comments and thoughts. Keep up the great work!

disappearence of frogs is a harbinger of global/environmental problems.

[camswitzer]

Either that or a harbinger of an increase of french canadian chefs in the neighbourhood.

Someone wanted to rant on about mother Earth and her problems. Just kidding. Good video and informative. Funny how you made a lite version. Talk to you later.

I made it, John, because these days it seems that nobody will sit for more than 4 minutes and three or four seconds to watch anything. They all think they just have too much to do. So, I made it lite! Thanks for watching and commenting on the full version.

I really hope SOMEBODY WILL MAKE VIDEO RESPONSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
