Awajún Enkepa Necklace at Amazon Watch Benefit Concert

ORG by vio® contributed a beautiful Awajún Enkepa necklace for the auction at the Amazon Watch fundraiser last weekend on May 12th. The lucky bidder supported that night three fold: to Amazon Watch, the artisans and our work. The concert was put on to support the award-winning programs of Amazon Watch in the Amazon regions of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The event featured a rare Southern California appearance with Psychedelic Folks Revivalist Joanne Rand, delicious Raw Organic food from Gaia Goodies and refreshing kambucha from Kombucha Kamp. It was a fun event with lots of like-minded friends and supporters.

Great TED Talk on the “Future” of Energy by Amory Lovins

Great talk on the “future” of energy. The future is NOW! Let’s do this! An optimistic plan on how we can eliminate the need for oil – and all dirty resources – and use the power of real clean alternatives to fuel or lives.

Many Amazon communities deal with extraction, be it oil, gas, lumber, gold, etc. The companies that exploit their territories and the fragile rainforest are often unaccountable for the devastation they leave in the process. These communities are left vulnerable and disrupted from their natural way of life, often leading to fatal illnesses and birth defects from spills and contamination. By choosing real clean energy, we can play an important roll in shifting the old ways to a new clean and conscious future, where our planet is not merely used by parasitic industries, but where we are able to protect it and live in harmony with nature for generations to come.
