In our world of information overflow and disinformation, we have been keeping track of the relevant information sources out there. In our search, we discovered inspiring Sources who gave totally new directions to our project. Among them there are books, blogs, video documentaries and magazines all on areas of interest, which have contributed to our intentions and offer new point of views. May those information sources also inspire you.

The_One_Straw_Revolution

The One-Straw Revolution

by Masanobu Fukuoka
Call it “Zen and the Art of Farming” or a “Little Green Book,” Masanobu Fukuoka’s manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. It’s also a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world.

We all know the system isn’t working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there’s nothing we can do: “It’s just the way things are.” In this book, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts…
