Earthlings: Seeing The World Feelingly

Watch the full movie (or at least the last few minutes) on YouTube here:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6361872964130308142

How humans can and do treat other animals - other earthlings.

Essential for understanding what is happening to other earthlings across the planet each and every day that is done by humans.
Essential for understanding the consequences of continuing these practices by humans.

Also the recent movie Food, Inc is worth watching. After watching Food, Inc watch Earthlings to see what was left out of Food Inc. that needs to be said clearly too, not hidden away.

Not knowing what is actually happening allows further harm to animals - other earthlings.

More importantly, there are beautiful scenes of animals alive and well, along with compelling scenes that each person's daily personal choices can contribute to (or not), showing what can be stopped right now - today.

If nothing else watch the last few minutes of only beautiful animal scenes and words to consider on being kind to animals, on being kind to one another.

Starting viewing the last few minutes of the film by moving the viewer slider to after 1:26:35.
For some people this may be a good place to start the movie.

These last few minutes are well worth watching and considering.

EARTHLINGS is an award-winning documentary film about the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research.

Considered the most persuasive documentary ever made, EARTHLINGS is nicknamed “the Vegan maker” for its sensitive footage shot at animal shelters, pet stores, puppy mills, factory farms, slaughterhouses, the leather and fur trades, sporting events, circuses and research labs.

The film is narrated by Academy Award® nominee Joaquin Phoenix and features music by platinum-selling recording artist Moby.

Initially ignored by distributors, today EARTHLINGS is considered the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world. “Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people talking the most,” said Phoenix. “For every one person who sees EARTHLINGS, they will tell three.”

Animal Treatment Society

In 1999, writer/producer/director Shaun Monson began work on a series of PSAs about spaying and neutering pets. The footage he shot at animal shelters around Los Angeles affected him so profoundly that the project soon evolved into EARTHLINGS.

The film would take another six years to complete because of the difficulty in obtaining footage within these profitable industries. Though the film was initially ignored by distributors, who told Monson that the film would “never see the light of day and should be swept under the rug,” today EARTHLINGS  is considered the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world.

Nation Earth was established to produce documentary films on socially urgent issues. EARTHLINGS, released in 2005, was the company's first feature film and is the first of a documentary trilogy. The company is currently at work on the second installment, UNITY, which will explore the unifying force of consciousness found in nature, animals and humankind. UNITY is scheduled to be completed in 2009. For more information please see www.unitythemovie.com

Ritalin & Other ADHD Drugs Useless And Stunt Growth Permanently - Behavioral Treatments Work

Ritalin & Other ADHD Drugs Useless And Stunt Growth Permanently - Behavioral Treatments Work

behavioral treatments for ADHD
are available and have been proven to work without the side effect risk of pharmaceuticals.

Stimulant drugs such as Ritalin provide no long-term benefit in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

researchers followed 485 children for eight years and found that children who remained on medication for that entire time showed no improvement in symptoms over those who had stopped taking the drugs.

stimulant drugs do improve the social functioning and reduce symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity in children with ADHD for the first year of treatment.


Is this going to make a benefit for my child long term?
"The answer is no.
Behavioral treatments are going to have much better benefit in the long term.
"

ADHD drugs appeared to stunt children's growth.


Children who had never taken stimulant drugs were an average of six pounds heavier and 0.75 inches taller than children of the same age who had taken the drugs for three years.
This height and weight difference was permanent.

ADHD Drugs Proven Absolutely Useless for Children - Plus, They Stunt Growth

Thursday, July 09, 2009 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer
Key concepts: Drugs, Adhd and ADHD drugs

(NaturalNews) Stimulant drugs such as Ritalin provide no long-term benefit in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to the latest findings of the ongoing Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD (MTA), published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

According to previous analysis of MTA data, stimulant drugs do improve the social functioning and reduce symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity in children with ADHD for the first year of treatment. In the current analysis, however, researchers followed 485 children for eight years and found that children who remained on medication for that entire time showed no improvement in symptoms over those who had stopped taking the drugs.

"If you put a child on medication, he or she is far better right at that time. The question for parents is: Is this going to make a benefit for my child long term?" said researcher William Pelham, of the University of Buffalo. "The answer is no. Behavioral treatments are going to have much better benefit in the long term."

Another analysis of MTA data, published in the same journal, found that use of ADHD drugs appeared to stunt children's growth. Children who had never taken stimulant drugs were an average of six pounds heavier and 0.75 inches taller than children of the same age who had taken the drugs for three years. This height and weight difference was permanent.

According to Pelham, behavioral treatments for ADHD can be harder to find than drugs, and often insurers will not cover them. Nevertheless, such treatments are available and have been proven to work without the side effect risk of pharmaceuticals.

"It's wrong for a doctor to say to a parent, this treatment is harder to find, so instead we're going to put your child on a drug that will have no long-term benefit," he said.

New Evidence: Exercise Helps Heart Disease, Increases Survival Better than Angioplasty

Saturday, July 11, 2009 by: S. L. Baker, features writer
Key concepts: Disease, Heart disease and Angioplasty
http://www.naturalnews.com/026596_disease_heart_disease_angioplasty.html

Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation meeting recently held in Barcelona, Spain, new heart research was presented that shows one treatment in particular can provide remarkable help for patients with certain forms of serious heart disease. It's not a new drug or surgical procedure. Instead, it's a natural therapy -- plain old-fashioned regular exercise.

In fact, in several studies just presented at the meeting, exercise reduced the markers of heart disease in patients following coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). What's more, it improved indications of disease in people with heart failure, a condition usually thought to be incurable and often just treated with symptom-relieving drugs. But the news that's perhaps most likely to make some interventional cardiologists' hearts skip a beat or two was the evidence presented that showed that exercise improved cardiac event-free survival in coronary patients better than angioplasty with stents.

Also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), angioplasty is commonly used to help people with coronary artery disease whose arteries are narrowed and even blocked by a build-up of sticky plaque. By threading a thin tube through a blood vessel in the arm or groin, interventional cardiologists perform angioplasty to restore blood flood through a clogged artery. A tiny balloon at the end of the tube is inflated when it reaches the exact spot of blockage. That pushes the plaque outward against the walls of the artery, restoring blood flow. A small metal device called a stent is also carried by the tube and deployed at the site of the blockage in order to prop open the artery.

This approach to treating heart disease is a huge business. A report in Bloomberg News last fall noted that about 800,000 angioplasties are performed each year in the U.S. at a cost of about $10 billion annually [Exercise gets better results than $12,000 per angioplasty.] And, although many cardiologists consider angioplasty to be the "gold standard" of care in most types of acute coronary events such as heart attack, the procedure's long term benefits have been questioned by many doctors. In addition, the role of angioplasty in treating other kinds of coronary disease, like angina, isn't clear.

To help shed light on this issue, researchers at the University of Leipzig in Germany conducted a study to compare the event-free survival rate in 101 stable angina patients. Research subjects with the condition were divided randomly into two groups. Each group was treated with either a regular exercise program or with angioplasty.

The results, just presented at the European Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation meeting, showed that after five years of follow-up, the study participants who went through exercise training had a better event-free survival rate than those treated with stent angioplasty. In the exercise group, 63 percent of patients had survived, free of cardiac events. However, only 40 percent in the angioplasty group had survived without cardiac problems (which included heart attack, stroke and death).

Two other studies released at the Barcelona conference also back up the idea that exercise can often help even patients with very serious heart problems. Research by Dr. Tomasz Mikulski and colleagues from the Medical Research Centre in Warsaw, Poland, showed that aerobic training using an exercise bike not only improved the physical fitness of cardiac patients following bypass surgery, but also reduced their cholesterol levels and markers of inflammation (which are associated with heart disease).

Dr. Marcus Sandri from the University of Leipzig presented data showing that a moderate exercise program daily for four weeks improved the function of endothelial cells in patients with heart failure. This is important because endothelial cells, which line the circulatory system, are associated with the progression of heart disease and heart failure when they don't function properly.

No improvement was noted in the control group of heart failure patients who did not exercise. Dr Sandri noted in a statement to the media that the beneficial effect of exercise was seen as much in older subjects as in younger. "The effects of exercise were not diminished in our older heart failure patients which suggests that exercise as a treatment might be just as effective in older patients as younger," he explained.

Community Approves 1,000 SQ Foot Edible Garden For Public School

BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVES THE CONSTRUCTION OF 1,000 SQ. FOOT EDIBLE GARDEN AT STAPLES HIGH SCHOOL IN WESTPORT, CONNECTICUT

At the strike of midnight on June 2nd, 2009 the future just got a little brighter, thanks to the inspiring presentation by Dan Levinson, of Green Village Initiative (www.westportgvi.org), the behind the scenes prepping of the powers-that-be by Kimberly Lake and the unshakable professionalism of Eileen Flug, and all the other key people that made this possible.

Congratulations, to Dan, Kimberly and Eileen, and to the entire Staples community who will benefit from this incredible gift of an edible school garden!

STAPLES HIGH EDIBLE GARDEN: GVI has underwritten a Teich Garden to be installed and planted at Staples High School. In addition to being a tremendously valuable lesson topic for classes, the food being grown will be used by the culinary classes for cooking. This garden will be a model for schools of all levels to implement this learning tool and food source. For more information contact Kim Lake klake57@mac.com.

See more about the Green Village Initiative below - following the description of how the initiative and other progressive initiatives are funded by a group of people that have decided to make a positive difference with positive projects.

The Westport Green Village Initiative is fully funded by and investment group, Main Street Resources
http://www.mainstreetresources.com/nonprofit.html

Whose purpose is:
Main Street Resources is a private equity firm comprised of entrepreneurs, executives and investors who provide investment capital and resources to companies with great people and potential.

Founder Dan Levinson, along with his team, advisors and operating partners (the “Guild”), bring deep resources and expertise to create a supportive environment for the firm’s portfolio companies, helping them to thrive. We provide capital, financial and strategic expertise, and the resources, contacts and advice of our 100+ experienced investors.

Main Street’s investors are principally owners and operators of mid-size companies interested in backing and assisting other promising companies and management teams. On behalf of these investors, who have long-standing relationships with the firm, we search for attractive, proprietary opportunities where our resources can be brought to bear.

 Main Street’s primary activity is the identification and sponsorship of entrepreneurs and management teams who are proven in their fields and are emotionally and financially committed to their businesses. In reaching investment decisions, we weigh the quality and commitment of the individuals involved above all else. Once we decide to invest, we work tirelessly in support of these partners.

 While the firm has the flexibility to invest in any type of company, transaction or security, Main Street generally commits $2-10 million equity capital in transactions which include growth capital fundings, recapitalizations and management buy-outs. Main Street targets stable companies in niche businesses that are poised for growth, and as a rule, does not invest in start ups, technology or style/fad companies.

Historically, dedication to this investment approach and philosophy has generated rewarding long-term relationships with outstanding operating partners and yielded financial and non-financial success for all involved.

In addition to seeking to utilize our resources to create safe attractive investor returns, we attempt to integrate corporate social responsibility principles into our operations and companies. We believe businesses can be both profitable and good corporate citizens – taking care of their people, communities and environment – while growing and creating value.

Dan Levinson directs 10-20% of his Main Street-related income in support of these and other charitable endeavors.

Two Angry Moms

"Are you sick and tired of packing your kids’ lunch box everyday because the cafeteria food is unfit
for human consumption? Do you feel guilty when your kids “buy”? Are you annoyed at all the junk being handed out and sold at school? Are you angry enough to do something about it? We are!

Two Angry Moms is a documentary that asks the question: What happens when two “fed-up” moms try to change the school lunch program?"

The Real Food Revival 

"Eaters everywhere are reclaiming their food chain — enjoying food that's full of flavor, isn't loaded with chemicals, and is raised with great sensitivity to the environment, and any animals in its care. I call this empowering movement, The Real Food Revival, and it is taking our food supply out of corporate hands and returning it to the growers, chefs, market owners, and most importantly, to the eaters who want a more sustainable, delicious future!"

Green Drinks 

"Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.

We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network."

The Hickories 

"With CSA, you, as a consumer, "buy in" in springtime to our farm's summer harvest. In essence, you buy a share of the harvest and then the land and farmer pay you back with vegetables all summer. During the summer, once a week, shareholders will come to the farm to pick up their boxes of vegetables and fruits. You will get a mixed box of whatever is being picked, and the food will change as the harvest changes over the growing season. In addition, you as a shareholder take on the risk of the harvest, as well.

Shareholders join us during seed purchasing in March. We plant in April and May. The harvest will start in the middle of June and we hope to run until the end of September. Once a week, on a set day and a set window of time, you will come to the farm to pick up your box. One share is a box that should feed a family of four."

Vonne's Victory Gardens

"Like the Victory Gardens of WWI and WWII you can have your own garden of fresh fruits and vegetables. Your garden will be a readily available, sustainable food source; free of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals which are physically harmful to you.

I create organic gardens right on your property which are a convenient and environmentally conscious way of enjoying chemical free fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Vonne’s Victory Gardens was created to help people in the Farifield County, Connecticut  area grow their own organic food."

 

Fairfield Green Food Guide

"Welcome to The Fairfield Green Food Guide, Fairfield County’s online resource for finding fresh, local, sustainable food and connecting with the green food community. Whether you are searching for local farmers’ markets, CSAs (a share in a farm’s crops), specialty stores, grocers, or wine shops, The Buying Guide will help you find exciting resources in your neighborhood. The Buying Guide is now available to consumers, free!
