2Day was the 2nd day of the 3-day series "Cooling Climate Chaos" on Humanity Rising (HR) convened by a friend of mine -- Rob de Laet. He's been on HR a few times -- we share mutual admiration, beautiful friends and our work. He allows me to cast my editor's eye over some of his work which allows me to learn while helping him share his knowledge, and that of his other friends.
One of his other friends, Marcel de Berg joined us in the AfterChat both yesterday and today. Marcel introduced A Marshall Plan to Cool the Planet Through Reforestation On Day 394 of HR. Today's talk was delivered by 82 year old Peter Bunyard, professor emeritus. Peter worked with James Lovelock and is an adept of the Gaia Theory. Peter proved the existence of the Biotic Pump function and has come out of retirement to work with Rob. Here's a couple of videos that introduce the concepts: How Green Water Cools our Planet (5 minute summary) by Green Water Cools and How Plants Cool our Planet by Jimi Sol (aka Jimi Eisenstein, son of Charles Eisenstein). It's been a great 2 days, and the 3rd should prove to be very interesting as well, with Peter Bruce-Iri from Aotearoa (New Zealand), an educator, author, researcher and climate activist. He wrote "How Plants Cool and Heal the Climate" and is currently working with Te Kahu o Taonui, a tribal collective in the north of Aotearoa. If you haven't signed up yet for your daily link to the HR Zoom, register here, and remember, the best way to attend the AfterChat is through Stan's invitation in the HR Zoom chat! See you there...!

Remember the LockDown? It changed so much... One of the positive changes was Humanity Rising, a daily Zoom Webinar by Ubiquity University, hosted by Jim Garrison. Focused on solutions, and the issues that demand them, Jim began by inviting people from his "Rolodex" to tell us about their passions, awareness and expertise. As the President of a University, an author, scholar and person with opinions about what's happening, Jim created a venue for himself and others to share alternative perspectives, including Indigenous Wisdom, politics, environmental and biome regeneration ideas and proposals, spiritual and scientific concepts that underpin our reality; and the list goes on... From May to August of 2020 we met every single day. On Day 60 curiosity drove Stanley Pokras to post an invitation in the chat addressed to Everyone - come to my place... and we did. That first day 15 of us gathered in his Zoom room. The episode was titled, (though Stan didn't realize it at the time) "Connecting the Dots". That is his underlying purpose, as MOM is mine! It's delightful that both of us were given an element of fulfilment on that day, and since then "ChatPeople" (an open subset of Everyone) have gathered in the AfterChat every day of Humanity Rising, and a few others as well! In September, with the lockdown still in effect, we were grateful that Jim cut back to 5 days a week. With breaks in August and December, the AfterChat meets the challenge of 3 hours a day of diverse subjects -- and Stan creates a database archive of Humanity Rising. I am happy to work with Stan guiding and encouraging our conversations. The dedication Jim and Stan have to the projects they have committed themselves to must be admired and, I want you to know -- YOU ARE WELCOME... Register for access to Humanity Rising's Zoom Webinars. You can also watch Humanity Rising streaming live on FaceBook or dip your toes into the Humanity Rising YouTube channel, but you'll miss the comments in the Zoom Webinars' chats. We have a very active chat (that's why Stan posted his original invitation -- he wanted to meet the people behind the names he saw so often!) Stan harvests that rich resource each day and posts them on their Day Page in OtherNetworks, along with the AfterChat recording and the chat from that. Each day, in the chat of Humanity Rising, Stan posts the invitation to the AfterChat. I look forward to seeing you there! |
