  1. I'm only about fifteen or so many minutes into this, but I'm digging it thus far. I especially love how it's representing my state, NC, as a state with people who are genuinely concerned about their impact on the world.

    Our state has gotten a bad rap in recent news, and it's nice to see something that shows our state's residents in a more accurate light: solid, caring world citizens.

  2. How this only had 55k views blows my mind. Yes, views don't really come just for amazing content. But even considering that, this is just so appealing to the eye and the ear for it to be ignored. Kudos to Jesse Borkowski, man you are an absolute rockstar. You're not getting enough support from youtube but I hope you're getting it somewhere else and that you keep doing these things.

  4. The problem with biofuel is that it is just another carbon pollutant. It's almost a great idea :/  But other than that this is a really interesting and inspiring documentary.

  5. I used to view companies as "evil" in the sense that all they cared about was making a big profit ( Cough EA ) but watching this has made me come to realize that profit is not an evil thing, profit for companies is just like food for people, without it they starve and go under.

    Of course there are companies that do everything they can to maximize their profits without any regard for the effects on everyone around them ( cigarette companies ) but there are companies who wish to do good in the world, But they still have to make a profit, not out of greed but out of necessity. My mind has just been fucking blown by the fact that it took me this long to figure this out!  

    P.S For a moment I was overwhelmed with joy at figuring this out, This was my eureka moment, but halfway through the door with my pants on my heels about to yell Eureka in the streets I realized that this is a NO FUCKING SHIT SHERLOCK moment. Oh well I grew as a person this day and I´m still proud of myself.

    P.P.S Love the music in the background, Soft and soothing ( not sure if that´s redundant, me no speak da English )

  6. I appreciate that they referred to the incident in Bangladesh in which almost 1200 people died when a garments factory collapsed. Social business is the key to success in the 21st century. Unfortunately, not many people realise it.

  7. Very nice message laid out in this piece. "Serve."  Great work these guys are doing. Not enough people like them… Can it really tip the scale in the long run?  Seems people are too selfish to even save themselves.

  8. Very glad to have been linked to this. Every angle on guarding our shared 'Sacred values' is valuable. Thank you.

  9. Sure you need to support your community but to say I dont care about poor people in Bangladesh or Mexico is not a sustainable values. They too need jobs and belong to a community. Organic food wont solve the world hunger. I find the document a bit hypocritical in this regard.
