Waste = Food - A film about amazing and life-changing ideas and the people behind them!

Waste = Food | Watch Free Documentary Online

Posted using ShareThis

Main 'characters' in this film - designer and architect William McDonough and ecological chemist Michael Braungart!!!!
This documentary is life-changing!!!! I will soon explore the issue of waste, sustainability and go in-depth about some of the ideas in the film, as well as other similar solutions to waste problems etc.
For now, watch this and tell me what you think! I am very very impressed and moved! Still need time to swallow and comprehend fully what these ideas mean for me and for my way of life, as well as what my role is to contribute to a future based not on blind and brutal consumerism, with no concern for nature, for our place in nature, for our impact and Print on it, but rather, on the "cradle to cradle protocol", or circular economy as it is called.

Watch out for an extensive study on these issues! It should be a lot of fun!! and a lot of fascinating info!
Ideas and opinions are welcome!

Recycle me!..and I'll be new!

Recycle me - my dreams my thoughts
recycle every inch of me
i want to be Reused
i want to be Renewed
i want to be sustainable
an eco system that's alive
i want my veins and brains to flow
in one consistent entity
i want to be organically grown!


throw out the filth that crowds my head
spinning images of new and fancy things
i really don't need
money in bulk, extravagant life
rid me of the unnecessary trash
that i bear and that bends me
with the aim to erase
every living particle that screams
for honesty, for humanity,for modesty... for Breath!


but i'm choking in this polluted world
inside me growing - monstrous, industrial images
i'm told i need, in order to develop
i'm told to buy something new every day
i'm told that mine is old, is worse, is uglier too!
it's not up-to-date, i'm told,
so.. i Have to 'Choose'


advertisements wash away
my senses, dry my ideas, crush my creativity and
pump nonsense, oh, a whole lot of nonsense
so my head is a spinning sphere
stuffed with images, facts, opinions, beliefs - vague, shallow and unclear


i cannot hear the laugh of a child anymore
i cannot feel the warmth of your embrace, my dear one
i cannot taste the sweetness of a cube of sugar
i cannot...
it seems i cannot see what life, what life i once
longed to follow...


Save me! Recycle me! Reuse me! Renew me!
I beg you Life! ... Reclaim my freedom truly!
heal my spirit, my mind, my body...
Take me Life, take me or I'll surrender to this
horiffic/all-covering/encompassing brutal folly!
its victims already are Many...
it's a massacre and it's a crime against humanity,
i warn you...


I'm genetically modified at every corner
one, hands me a tomato red and pretty
yet injected with an animal's gene, it's creepy
another, hands me milk to refreshen
yet i know it's not from a cow, like on TV, 'Milka' fashion
there's also the eggs that i buy to cook
yet, i've seen the prisoners of this experiment crude!


Stop using me, you trashy consumerism, you misunderstood development,
you wrongly preached prosperity, you economic disbalance,
you lying politicians, greedy multinationals, you mocking preachers,

Stop using me as if I'm trash!
as if i'm replacable, one-time hit
Stop playing games that screw me up,
that leave my being like total Crap!


I'll resist your attacks - one at a time!
switch off the TV when you're on
throw out Mr.Greedy from my home
buy all that i need from the people near home
won't fall for your lies, even when they're shiny with glow
I'll clean out my house, leave space to love
leave space, time, resources to invest in others' lives
i'll rebel, stand up, fight,
i'll recycle my apetites, prejudices, misconceptions
i'll flush in the toilet all tabloid papers
i'll bury the poisons of Reality shows
i'll move away from the grandeur that obssesses the polls

i might be tempted, fall, yet in the end, i will Arise,
that you should know!
cause let me tell you one little truth,
even though you tried to kill me
I got the jackpot
I got something renewable and lasting
it's my humanity put in action


So, listen you, I claim back my life! A new era has begun!
I'm new, i'm real, i'm here now
I'm sustainable, rechargable, a new breathing EcoMan/Woman!!!!

p.s.And all of you, dear friends, get recycled now, because the nature of this evil is destructive and conniving,
leaving us feeling empty, in delusion and confusion~
Reclaim what's ours!Our planet and lives!
