Make a baby pay attention to nobody else but you... This four-minute video explains how and reveals a lot of interesting information about how the brain works in the process:

"How do you like to give back to the planet?" (Question from Zoe Wild.)

I give back with every dollar I spend by buying organic locally-grown produce as often as possible. My husband and I buy organic bananas, kiwis, apples, lettuce, asparagus and pineapple by the box. We buy onions exclusively from a local co-op that can get them both locally grown and organic.

We shop at local stores that are owned by local people instead of shopping at corporations.

We use recycled tissues and paper-towels and then we compost them so that the planet isn’t harmed by our lazy American ways.
I offer nutritional information to anyone who asks, because it is my passion to help others heal as I have. My husband and I have started a radio show on the topic to make more information freely available to the public.

The more money we make, the more we can give back. Right now we buy second-hand clothing a lot, but what we really would like to do is buy quality organic clothing — but we can’t afford that yet.

When your daily choices are ethical you give back to the community, the animals, the plants, the people you care about and your Earth every single day.

Question from Americans Elect 2012

"In your view, how likely or unlikely is it that scientists will find a cure for Parkinson's within the next 10-15 years?"

This is a hilarious question.

The scientists won't find the answer. A wholistic healing institute will find the answers. And those answers will be ignored for three dozen years.

We already hush-up the cure for cancer all the time.

Environment

Why aren't more people concerned about the environment? Doesn't it matter to you whether or not your grandkids (or your friends' grandkids) have forests to hike in? Doesn't it matter to you whether or not your water is poisoned? The more we ruin the ozone layer the faster we'll burn in the sunlight. The more drilling we do, the more we pollute our drinking water. The more land we clear to raise beef for fast food the more species we destroy, the less forests we have, the less food diversity we have, the lower the world-wide air quality. You'd trade all of that away for green paper which you can not eat, can not wear, can not breath, which can not love you or talk to you, or provide anything at all? I'd call that insanity!

Education

I don't think the problem with public schools has anything to do with funding. It has to do with teacher quality, national standards and our overall attitude towards children. If you lock kids up, treat them like slaves, force teachers to teach-to-the-test, numb creativity out of children, force them daily to do things they hate, keep them isolated from real society... Of course you end up with suicidal, depressed, angry, dysfunctional and domesticated teenagers and young adults. New desks, chairs, chalk-boards, books, etc, won't fix any of that at all.

Question on Americans Elect 2012

"How should the US promote energy innovations and green technology?"

Should we lean towards private sector investment or government investment?

If we pass laws to make the government do it, then it'll actually get done... Poorly.

If we somehow make it profitable then private interests will do it, and they'll do it well: really well. But if we don't make it profitable for them, it won't get done.

So it's not whether we should make government do it or make priviate sectors do it... It's how effectivie will the end result be, and how soon will it come about?
