The Story of Stuff
This past Monday, I had the honor to watch a video called “The Story of Stuff”, and whoa, the info in this video is intense and eye opening. It really makes you think about all the things you buy and where do they come from and why they are so inexpensive. It also shows the injustices of these greedy corporations, and how they pay our government to let these corporations make decisions for us in the things we need. It’s important to be informed about the things that not only affect our world, but they affect us as well.
If you guys are interested in knowing more from them, you can visit them at:

The video is available for you to watch. I recommened a lot. Hope you guys watch and are informed of injustices, and greed. Hope you guys enjoy.

Earth day ideas. What are you going to do to help?
Earth day love.
To start off, you can find educate yourself in ways you can help you our world to make it a better place. For one we know basic things such as using water responsibly, turning off light switches. recycling your aluminums, plastic bags, cardboard, paper, and everything that has a little triangle on the bottom of the product. You can help pick up trash from your neighborhood. Gather a group of friends to clean the streets with you. Here are some links for ideas.

I’m pretty sure you can find more links and sites that will help you figure out what to do for earthday. It’s a good day to love the world that gives you goodness.
You can support your local farmers market by buying organic foods, hand made earth friendly crafts, healthy things that benefit your families.
Planting trees has always been a good tradition. Find out where in your community there’s a tree planting even and join them.
Take your old electronics to your local E-waste center.
Give your friends second hand clothes as gifts. Or donate your clothes to a local thriftshop, Goodwill or Salvation Army. In Los Angeles there are yellow bins almost everywhere where you can donate your clothes and shoes.
It be fun to see what people do for earthday. Hopefully we can become more respectful to our world from now and on not just earthday. We should take care of what has been give to us. Become good stewards of the planet God created and handed to us.
Have a happy earthday everyone!

Los Angeles Metro Rail Art Tour Hollywood
Video Info: (All the info was from the video posted on youtube)
Art Tours
Metro offers regularly scheduled as well as special request group tours of the artwork in the Metro Rail system. Tours are led by trained Metro Docent Council volunteers.
Metros Docent Council is a group of volunteers committed to increasing awareness of the broad range of art in the Metro Rail system through public tours that provide insights into the artworks, the artists who created them, the processes it took to make them, and the communities they enhance. While docent programs are commonly found at museums around the world, Metro is the first transit agency to benefit from such a program.
Scheduled Tours
Free tours are offered the first Saturday and Sunday of every month. The tours are roundtrip and last approximately 2 hours. No reservations are required!
First Saturday - Meet promptly at 10 am at the street level entrance to the Hollywood/Highland Metro Rail Station on Hollywood Blvd. near the corner with Highland Ave. If driving to Hollywood/Highland station, park at the Visitors Center at the Hollywood/Highland shopping center complex to obtain partial parking validation.
First Sunday - Meet promptly at 10 am at the information booth inside the entrance to historic Union Station at 900 Alameda St. in Downtown Los Angeles. There is pay parking at Union Station and metered street parking, and pay lots in the immediate area.
Special Request Tours
Free art tours for groups of 15 or more are available by special arrangement. More information is available by calling 213.922.2738 or by clicking Art Tours.
General Information:
The tours are approximately 90% walking; there are elevators and escalators in all the stations.
The Docents distribute date-stamped badges that allow you to ride the entire Metro Rail system for free on the day of the tour. Docents carry voice amplifiers and wear bright orange vests for easy identification.
Children at or above a 5th grade level may participate on the scheduled and private group tours.
There are no public restrooms available in the stations but there are restrooms available to the public at Union Station and the Hollywood/Highland shopping complex.
Art Guide
A pocket size brochure depicting all artworks on the Metro transit system is available by calling 213.922.4ART or clicking Art Guide. The brochure was updated in July 2007 and is a perfect compliment for self guided tours of the artworks. It features a system map, artist information and brief description of the artworks.
