Jeremy Irons Asked Why Our World is TRASHED

We buy it, we bury it, we burn it and then we ignore it. That is how the world deals with trash - all those wrappers, papers, bottles, medical supplies, cans, car pairs, broken parts, TVs, computers, plastic bags and the pile grows higher and higher and higher and higher...until

 

"Ignore it" is the key phrase, the convenient phrase, that action that makes it seemingly easier until we start to count the overwhelming cost, a cost that the award winning actor and activist, Jeremy Irons, explores in the new film TRASHED.

No matter where you live or where you work, take seriously our responsible for this planet: Recycle/Reuse. It is our choice to make - shall we live in a garden or a dump? Where do you wish to dine, to work - among mounting heaps of garbage? Where will your children (and your children's children) play?

We decide, we define our world, with each choice, with each item we so carlessly toss OR thoughtfully recycle!

Korean Air Force Parody Offers Humor to Snow Bound Chefs

The record setting winter storm Nemo has dumped heavy snow from Washington DC to Maine. Thousands of homes and business are still without power. Hundreds of planes are only now getting airborne again.

Equally affected have been the region's countless restaurants. Many are still unable to open due to stranded staff, power blackouts and delayed deliveries.

But have no fear, for as the East Coast digs out from tons of late season snow, the gentlemen of the South Korean Air Force have created a stunning parody of the musical Les Miserables entitled "Les Militaribles".

Here too the stuggle is with too much snow but 'moved' with such talent even Broadway (snow or no snow) will have to say, "Bravo - Well Done Gentlemen!".  This outstanding parody is proof once again that "Spring will come" and that thankfully true talent is universal!
