Who cares about Earth Day?

Are we so absorbed with issues that the environment is no longer sexy?

The day came and went here and I wonder if people care?

Hmmmm....

Here is Nightline's question and answer.

4 Day Work Week!

Why not a 4 day work week?

The mindshift that is needed seems to be blocked at the business leadership level.

We know we waste a tonne of time at work, facebook, smoking... so why not give us a way to work more economically and get a reward? More time to recharge?

The 4 day work week can and does work for air traffic controllers, why not the rest of us?

Cover a car with cash?

Yup when it comes to a birthday we do all sorts of crazy great things. Here is an odd but cool story about the 40th birthday of the UAE and a Camero!

White Cane Day!

White Cane Day Have you ever wondered what would a day in the life of a visually impaired individual normally entail? The Office of Accessibility at Zayed University launched the Second Annual International White Cane Day on Monday October 17th. L'occitane was involved highlighting their Foundation work for the visually impaired. http://www.loccitane.com/a-true-story,29,1,2270,106327.htm

Masarat Daud's 8Day Academy

Masarat Daud, Peter Kotikalapdui and kristina Nysell join us for a conversation about the 8 Day Academy.

The education system has failed all of us. There is a huge disconnect between what we study and the real world.

(Masarat Daud, TEDxDubai 10.10.09)

Idea worth spreading:

One of the first female university graduates from her village in Rajasthan, Masarat wanted to bring education to the girls in her village using a method she calls “functional education”… So, she created the 8-Day Academy!

In exactly a week, she showed her first class (70 women who had never seen a computer) how to use computers, to speak in public, to be leaders... When she came back a few months later the women had computerized schools throughout the village, they were speaking across town and sharing their new found knowledge with others…

Call to action:

Create your own 8-Day Academy. All you need is 8 days to change the world!
