A guide to Web Sites for those who want to change the world through video and multimedia -
Change for the Oceans - Given enough time, sea life could adapt to climate change. Sadly animals evolve far too slowly. But we can change as quickly as we choose to. Small actions can make a real difference. Produced by Free Range Studios. Narration by John Cleese who carries a reusable bag and to date has refused 3,982 plastic water bottles.
. What will you do to help ocean life and our future?
How do you make safe personal care products from poisonous ingredients like lead, mercury and carcinogens? Duh, you can't! It's the simple rule "toxics in, toxics out." But the companies who make everything from shampoo to lipstick to deodorant still don't seem to get it. And that means we're all at risk.
This is more than a great new movie, it's your chance to finally turn this crazy industry around. With a new bill in Congress that would make personal care products safe, it's critical that we spread this message far and wide and speak up for change.
This is a great animated video to share. From KarmaTube
Watch this fascinating talk visually unfold before you through witty and beautiful illustration. Dan Pink makes the case that there are hidden truths behind what really motivates us. Namely that it's not the age-old motivators of money and power that drives us, but our desire for autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green speak out about the budget cuts affecting teachers and kids in California. Not only is this political, but it is funny!
Astoria Scum River Bridge- this is great real world video about how a couple guys made a difference. Very interesting, fun and inspirational video.
Written by Sean Clements. Directed and edited by Antonio Scarlata Starring Michael Cassady and Jill Donnelly
Your traditional Thanksgiving meal is at risk and it has nothing to do with the economy!
Bees are disappearing in North America at an alarming rate, and scientists don’t understand why. And since bees are directly responsible for pollinating a third of our food crops — and indirectly, for another third — long-term prospects for the traditional holiday spread are pretty bleak. Just imagine Thanksgiving without squash, broccoli, lima beans, cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie. No apple cider! No pecan pie! Not even a cup of coffee. See for yourself with this video produced by A Bee Lover’s Garden, an effort to save the dying honeybees – and restore our holiday feast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppEtzMSy4j4For more information on this campaign, see www.abeeloversgarden.com
When we think of the Greenest people in America, we often say Al Gore, or other celebrities or famous people. But, no matter how much they pay to offset their CO2 for their airplane flights, or put solar on their roof, they can't come close to being as green as the Amish.
This is brilliant .. and important. Where do you stand on the US Health Care Issue? Can you afford to get sick?

Sick For Profit-where do YOUR premiums go? Netting $2.5 billion in profits last year wasn't enough for WellPoint, the nation's largest insurance company.
Now, WellPoint's affiliate, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, is suing the state of Maine for refusing to guarantee it a profit margin in the midst of a painful recession.
As if Mainers didn't have enough to worry about just struggling to put food on the table, WellPoint is intent on forcing them to cough up 18.5% higher premiums on their insurance policies.
While WellPoint lobbies against granting Americans the right to affordable coverage, it's claiming that it has the right to a guaranteed profit margin, paid for by struggling working families. Mainers are outraged, and they're fighting back.
Here is another great inspirational video from KarmaTube, Dan Reed's "The Dictator". Created by musician Dan Reed, this music video combines stock footage with classic BW footage from Charlie Chaplin's speech at the climax of the 1940 film "The Great Dictator". This video reminds us of the importance of "humanity" in making this world a better place to live in.
Sarah Palin sings "I Killed A Moose and I liked it". Katy Perry kissed a girl and she liked it. Sarah Palin killed a moose and she liked it — medium rare. Music video from Barryfunny.com and Blightproductions.com.

KarmaTube - the world is full of wonderful and inspiring stories, some unfolding in distant places and others right next door. KarmaTube is dedicated to bringing more of these stories to light, using the power of video and the internet to demonstrate and multiply acts of compassion, generosity and selflessness.
Our vision is to create and connect a global network of volunteers awake to capturing these stories, using simple digital video cameras. While the stories produced may be polished and professional or diamonds-in-the-rough, the crucial through-line is this: they celebrate the work of local change agents, demonstrating the ways "do something" moments can be "tipping point" experiences for individuals and communities. To complete the circle, KarmaTube offers three simple suggestions for ways to support the action and spirit shown in each video.
KarmaTube is an evolving project of CharityFocus (and like CharityFocus, is all-volunteer run). We hope something here moves you to, as Gandhi advised, "be the change you wish to see in the world."
Do you still smoke? Have friends that smoke? Family? This may be the most outrageous anti-smoking video ad ever.

That's the amount of extra cash each and every Burger King employee in America would have received last year if Goldman Sachs (one of the fast-food chain's largest owners) had shared its bailout billions with rank-and-file workers.

It's becoming clear that if anyone can save the world from global warming and pollution, it's today's kids. And the hot new web series, Gorilla in the Greenhouse, shows kids how to make real change in the real world.

Featured at the Galway Film Centre and Galway Film Festival film award initiative, Ronan Gallagher's six minute short 'Guest of The Nation' stars Nigerian actor and writer Eugene Ebhonuaye a Christian who fled sectarianism and racism in his own country to end up in Ballinamore in Ireland with his Ukrainian wife Irene who is a Muslim.
The film highlights the plight of many asylum seekers who have been traumatised and tormented by evil forces in their own countries, many of whose regimes are encouraged and supported for financial and geo-political reasons by the very countries in the west that seek to stop such people seeking sanctuary.
