We, at the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), are raising $125,000 to create a series of mini-documentaries that will take an intimate look into the world behind the veil of mothers who have healed their children from serious illness and behavioral conditions, after removing genetically modified organisms or “GMOs” from their diets.
By giving today, your investment goes directly towards the fight for the health of future generations. The end is in sight! Together we can cause a ripple effect through the power of story and rewrite the ending to this GMO saga!

Sales of war-themed video games now far outpace even the biggest Hollywood blockbusters. The best of these games are as sophisticated as they are addictive, offering access to many of the same cutting-edge tools and techniques the American military itself uses to train combat troops. But even as war games deliver higher levels of intensity and realism, some wonder whether they may be paradoxically distancing players from the actual consequences of war in the real world. This film profiles three remarkable individuals who pioneered new forms of activism to bring us face-to-face with just this possibility. As they hack their way into the world of war games, they force all of us — gamers and non-gamers alike — to stop and think about the often-unthinking nature of war in the 21st Century. http://rogerstahl.info/

Politics and Hollywood’s images are linked. They reinforce one another. Policy enforces mythical images; mythical images help enforce policy. Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, has said, quote, “Washington and Hollywood spring from the same DNA,” end-quote. – JACK SHAHEEN, director of Reel Bad Arabs

Welcome to Transition Studies. To prosper for very much longer on the changing Earth humankind will need to move beyond its current fossil-fueled civilization toward one that is sustained on recycled materials and renewable energy. This is not a trivial shift. It will require a major transition in all aspects of our lives.
This weblog explores the transition to a sustainable future on our finite planet. It provides links to current news, key documents from government sources and non-governmental organizations, as well as video documentaries about climate change, environmental ethics and environmental justice concerns.
The links are listed here to be used in whatever manner they may be helpful in public information campaigns, course preparation, teaching, letter-writing, lectures, class presentations, policy discussions, article writing, civic or Congressional hearings and citizen action campaigns, etc. For further information on this blog see: About this weblog. and How to use this weblog.
