Project Update

A few months ago, I wrote about my experience volunteering in the jungle community of Soloy and how I wanted to start a project selling the bags they make and paying them livable prices. The project has been slowly developing and I decided it needs its own blog. See how the project develops here: www.bagsmakeadifference.com

Ouch

Last night, I finally headed the nagging of a friend and watched a movie called Zeitgeist. I cried like I haven't cried in a while. I stayed up until 3 am talking with Peep about the world and what can be done.

You should watch it.

It might hurt your feelings, it will definitely disturb you, but I recommend it anyway. I began watching with skepticism, but when I heard some of the information, it was an eerie experience of just hearing someone say what I already knew way in the back of my mind. It felt good to see someone validating and connecting things.

At the very least, watch it so we can talk about it together:

It's free.
