Video of the Week

Currently we all need to just be better. We must be better in order to establish sustainability for humankind as well as all living things on this planet.  We have to give a shit. This Alanis Morissette song from the 90’s does a great job of describing the same frustrations that we are currently dealing with.

Two articles have come up recently that support my thought process.  One is “The Day a Dozen Parents and Children Killed a Baby Shark for a Selfie“. The other was a recent blog post by the Huffington Post entitled, “Ferguson is All of Us“. Both do a great job of sharing how we all, no matter what we already currently do, can do better.

Sites We Love: The Dodo

The Dodo is a website all about animals and the protection of animals.  The most recent post, “The Day a Dozen Parents and Children Killed a Baby Shark for a Selfie” tells the horrible yet revealing story about how our vanity is getting in the way of our relationship with nature.  Today’s children are not understanding how they are apart of nature but that they are somehow above it.  Here is a teaser of the story…

The man maintained a grip on the tail. The boy squirmed up next to the shark, smacked a hand on his side in a declaration of ownership, and extended his other hand gripping an iPhone to snap a selfie.

“Shouldn’t you put the shark back in the water?” I asked. My voice was swallowed in the murmurs of excitement. I asked louder, “Shouldn’t you put it back?”

Panic arose from the circle. “No, I didn’t get a photo with it yet!” “It’s my turn first!” A group of kids and adults alike began more desperately clambering for a grip of the shark.
