Sir Ken Robinson has made a huge mark on how to transform our educational structures… not evolve them, but as he says, have a revolution of transformation. The following videos are quite worth thinking about and in turn, take action for the generations to come.
This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA’s Benjamin Franklin award.
Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution!
In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning — creating conditions where kids’ natural talents can flourish.
Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.
What you’re about to learn could likely save your life, or that of someone you love. This was certainly the case with my Father.
About 6 years ago my Father was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression and Anxiety. The best the medical profession could offer was a cocktail of medications to treat the symptoms and little in the way of hope for treating the underlying causes. Not surprisingly his health continued to decline.
At the same time we were studying nutrition and sending my father many books we had read but these didn’t seem to help convince him. So for the next 12 months (with 3 years of research up our sleeves) we set about creating the independent documentary film ‘Food Matters’.
‘Food Matters’ features interviews with leading health experts who reveal the best natural healing choices you can make for you and your family’s health. In the film you’ll discover what works, what doesn’t and what’s killing you.
Needless to say after my father saw the film he quit his pharmaceutical meds, changed his diet, lost 20% of his body weight and is now running 3 times a week which is a big change from being bed ridden for 5 years!
Thank you for your support in helping this lifesaving information reach more people, it would not be possible without you.

PS: You don’t have to take our word for it, here is what others are saying about the film.
“Everything I have been harping on for the last 40 years, these two have brilliantly encapsulated in one beautifully produced, eminently watchable video.” - Harvey Diamond, Author of America’s best selling health book ‘Fit For Life’
“This film lays out the inconvenient truth the food industry doesn’t want you to hear — that nearly all degenerative disease is actually caused by the processed, nutrient-depleted food being consumed in first-world nations around the world. ‘Food Matters’ dares to reveal how we can stop this cycle of destruction and restore true health to ourselves and our planet.” - Mike Adams founder of Natural News.com
“Anyone who is serious about their health needs to see this stunning film.”
- Christiane Northrup, MD, author of the Women’s Wisdom series
“James and Laurentine provide a radiant beacon of hope with steps you can do today to take control of your health and begin healing. This is such important information - and much aligned with my personal health philosophies. It’s time to get it out to everyone who will listen. I encourage you to order a copy of Food Matters today and watch it with your friends and family.”

“Conscious Business”, “Conscious Capitalism” and “Natural Capitalism” are terms used to describe a business enterprise that seeks to be aware of the effects of its actions, and to consciously affect human beings and the environment in a beneficial way. They also refer to a movement towards “Values-based” economic value, where “Values” represent social and environmental concerns globally as well as locally. These movements have emerged from the theory of Corporate Social Responsibility, and is currently related to movements of Not Just For Profit Business Models, Conscious Consumerism, and Socially Responsible Investing. Most conscious businesses subscribe to a Triple Bottom Line model of success for their business endeavor. They aim to provide positive value in the domain of People, Planet, and Profit.

This video will be shown at the London WorldShift 2012 event on 09/09/09.
“There is no doubt that we are now in a state of global emergency. This unprecedented worldwide crisis is a symptom of a much deeper problem - the current state of our consciousness: how we think about ourselves and our world. We have the urgent need, and now the opportunity, for a complete rethink: to reconsider our values and priorities, to understand our interconnectedness and to begin a new direction - living in harmony with nature and each other.”
The 999 It’s Time team has identified 9 core action areas where we can all engage with positive change. This interesting group of individuals, who are championing each cause include, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on consumerism, Sam Roddick who is tackling activism and founder Rory Spowers who will be promoting the issue of awareness. On 9th September 2009, 999 It’s Time will orchestrate 9 maximum profile events and actions, aligning itself with thought-leading activists, artists, scientists, politicians, economists and thinkers, to wed the most credible and creative ideas into the 999 It’s Time Manifesto.
On the same day, WorldShift 2012 will also be launched. This global movement is dedicated to co-creating the foundations of a peaceful, just and sustainable world by the end of 2012. The organisation believes that an enlightened government is needed to address these issues and seeks to unite and engage everyone in this process by signing the WorldShift 2012 Declaration to commit to transformational change.

DIRT! The Movie, tells the amazing and little known story of the relationship between humans and living dirt.
Here’s the dirt… from “DIRT” movie website…
###
Dirt feeds us and gives us shelter. Dirt holds and cleans our water. Dirt heals us and makes us beautiful. Dirt regulates the earth’s climate. Dirt is the ultimate natural resource for all life on earth.
Yet most humans ignore, abuse, and destroy our most precious living natural resource. Consider the results of such behavior: mass starvation, drought, floods, and global warming, and wars. If we continue on our current path, Dirt might find another use for humans, as compost for future life forms.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Another world, in which we treat dirt with the respect it deserves, is possible and we’ll show you how.
The film offers a vision of a sustainable relationship between Humans and Dirt through profiles of the global visionaries who are determined to repair the damage we’ve done before it’s too late. There are many ways we can preserve the living skin of the earth for future generations. If you care about your food, water, the air you breathe, your health and happiness… it’s time to see DIRT! the Movie, roll up your sleeves for action and Get Dirty.
DIRT! The Movie–directed and produced by Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow, and narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis–takes you inside the wonders of the soil. It tells the story of Earth’s most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility–from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation.
It shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil.
“The only remedy for disconnecting people from the natural world is connecting them to it again.”
This question is now a hot topic, mostly because of dis-information and fear being fueled by the insurance industry, and those financially benefiting from keeping the status quo.
A 20 year veteran of the insurance industry, turned whistle blower… Wendel Potter testifies before congress as a very strong advoacte of insurance reform here in the US.
From the PBS Bill Moyers show… Bill Moyers interviews former health insurance industry executive Wendell Potter.

In his first extended television interview since leaving the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter tells Bill Moyers why he left his successful career as the head of Public Relations for CIGNA, one of the nation’s largest insurers, and decided to speak out against the industry. “I didn’t intend to [speak out], until it became really clear to me that the industry is resorting to the same tactics they’ve used over the years, and particularly back in the early ’90s, when they were leading the effort to kill the Clinton plan.”

Here are two excerpts from that interview…
