Great leaders have the gift of vision. They see and know what positive changes could be even in the mist of cultural and system complacency or chaos. It takes a vision to jumpstart a change. It takes followers to make and sustain the change as the video brilliantly points out. Without their risk-taking, the norm would not have changed and the others would not have experienced the fun and excitement of moving their bodies to the music, -a new dance.

Fwd: Is Plastic Harming Your Health?

From: Earth Day Network <email-reply@earthday.org>

We hear a lot these days about plastic bottles, bags, straws, packaging and other plastic materials polluting our planet, with news reports highlighting threats to wildlife and devastation of coral reefs. But the plastic problem doesn't end there. Time and time again, scientists have proven that what's bad for the planet is bad for people.  The negative impact of plastic pollution is found inside our bodies. And these chemicals inside our bodies are likely contributing to a wide range of harmful health issues. Plastic Fact: Bisphenol A also known as BPA—used to make billions of plastic beverage containers, dinnerware, protective linings of food cans, and toys— is considered an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can both increase or decrease endocrine activity in humans and cause adverse health effects. Plastic Fact: Growing literature links many Phthalates— a group of chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and harder to break—with a variety of adverse outcomes, including weight gain and insulin resistance, decreased levels of sex hormones, and other consequences for the human reproductive system, both for females and males.
