Climate Change with Yvon Chouinard & Dr. Zach Bush

Recently I’ve been inspired by Dr. Zach Bush and his knowledge of the biome, soil and farming, his clinical work and his perspective on the Covid-19 spread. He’s an inspiring doctor who truly represents a holistic viewpoint of life on earth, championing the beauty of birth and death, celebrating the human experience and also proactively taking on the challenge of healing the planet. In this video, he and Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, speak about their work and the issue of climate change | Link

Canyon Instant Coffee

After a couple of camping trips recently, I’ve been on the lookout to find the best instant coffee option in order to streamlining the backpacking, but also enjoy the morning cup. There are a number of options in the market but my research took me to Four Sigmatic and Canyon. For a pure coffee, Canyon’s option looks to be the winner, and as they say, it’s “Made from batch-brewed, freshly-roasted coffee from Celinga, Ethiopia, we teamed up with Instant Coffee experts Swift Cup to craft a coffee we feel confident in” | Link

Indigenous Voices: Heritage as Healing

Our society has become disconnected; from nature, from our hearts, from one another. This may be most evident in the way that the indigenous communities in North America, having been harshly treated and separated from their own heritage by force and conditioning. This short film by i-D showcases a young women’s return to her family and tribe, embracing their traditions with a modern perspective on healing and growth. It’s inspiring for us all, but also highlighting yet again how much wisdom and knowledge the indigenous communities hold, something we need to champion, cherish and celebrate across all human kind | Link
