Sound Of Sirens

ecoCampLondon is a Barcamp about the environment and sustainability which aims to get together passionate people to discuss, engage, interact and ultimately take action!

BarCamps without any specific topic (but “internet”) are kind of exploding now. Too many people attend and there is often that feeling that everything has already been said at other BarCamps before. Plus there is usually no reason to talk about sustainable ideas, since no one wants to hear about it. The exception proofs the rule in the new development of so called ‘Theme BarCamps’. They focus on certain topics like ‘only Wordpress’, ‘only Typo3′, ‘only social issues’ (SocialCamp in Berlin) and now ‘only sustainability and environment’. How great is that? As BarCamps are always sponsored by some companies, those events are usually free of charge and commited to get people involved, share ideas, inspire each other and create a new way of thinking together. You talk a lot and might get the idea of only talking instead of doing, but you really come up with new guidelines everyone tries to follow afterwards, and you usually make new friends and co-operations. Enough going into raptures over BarCamps now - here’s my advice for everyone who is in Britain’s capital on Saturday, 29 November 2008: The EcoCampLondon. It’s also an carbon-neutral event.

I suggest you browse their site, archives, programs…enjoy!

The Global Oneness Project is a web-based video initiative exploring how the simple notion of oneness can be lived in our increasingly complex world.

We’re traveling the globe interviewing creative and courageous people who base their lives and work on the fundamental understanding that we are all connected and thus bear great responsibility for each other and our shared world. Our living library of films is available for free from our website or on DVD for events and educational use.

We are committed to documenting what is being born during this time of planetwide transformation. While we are confronted with unmistakable signs that our current way of life is no longer sustainable, inspiring and innovative people and programs are blossoming in all areas of our collective society. From a pay-it-forward café in Ahmedabad, to a youth program that brings African wisdom to Los Angeles, from the General Secretary of the Andean Nations, to the spiritual guardian of Ayers Rock, our film subjects live and work with many of the following values, attitudes, and beliefs:

* We are responsible to each other, the earth, and future generations.
* There are enough resources for us all, if we share.
* Free exchanges of information allow for greater, collective creative potential.
* Love, care and compassion have the power to transform the fabric of society.

We hope that by showing the diverse ways oneness is expressed—in the fields of sustainability, conflict resolution, spirituality, art, economics, indigenous culture, and social justice—others will be inspired to create solutions to personal and community challenges from their own lived understanding of oneness.
