The Truth is out on DVD

One of the things that concerns me about most of our media and a lot of our movies, is that it paints a picture of ourselves, that makes us look like a pretty average race of beings. Rapists, Murderers, Thieves, Terrorists, etc. On face value it can be depressing, but I think it generates a deeper feeling that we may not even be aware of. When it comes to things like saving that planet, I think with all this negative media we are left with a feeling of why bother? ‘This lousy human race is hardly worth saving!’ Is it true? I don’t think so. I think you will find that we are just ill-informed.

I have seen Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ 3 times now. Why? I understand the science. I feel the sense of urgency. I don’t feel I need to be reminded of the urgency. I have seen it 3 times because Al Gore makes me proud to be a human being. Through his example I see that we are more than our media will have us believe. He is truly one man that is changing the world. I was both bummed and excited to find that on our first attempt to get AIT out of the video shop, all their copies were out. Wicked! He gives me hope, he gives me faith and he gives us all an opportunity to step up to the challenges ahead. Get properly informed about humanity. See AIT and start reading worldchanging.com

Bring on 2007

zerowasteHello all,

We open tomorrow for our first coffees of 2007. Lets start with the bad news. Our prices have changed. Basically standard coffees are now 3 bucks.

The good news. Our free wireless internet (thanks to Cherry Blossom Bookstore) is back online. Sorry about that little hiccup. We also have a new staff member whom we think you are all going to love very much. Some of you may have met Crystal already, but she officially starts making coffee this Saturday. I am as excited as a 4 year old on his second coffee.

As is my custom. I hope Urban Grind will be more than a coffee shop to you all this year and so I have some experiments planned that should make in interesting for us all.

How about starting the year with a bit of this or making a pledge to do this!

Dream big my friends and don’t let anything stop you.
