We all acknowledge that climate change is a pressing issue but do we really understand. Do we really understand that everything in the world that we claim ownership over belongs to mother nature. Our clothes are made from fibres grown in the earth. Our houses made from bricks that are made from clay from the earth. Our paper is made for trees that populate the earth. Even our coins are made from metals which were extracted from the earth. We have taken and taken and taken. When do we start giving back? Can we not even take a step back to realise there is NO FUTURE if we continue. There will be nothing. We say there is only one planet and its true. This is our only home. If there's a God or cosmic force it sure as hell wouldn't give us another planet after the way we treated this one.

Well. Sorry for non-Sashiko topic again. It keeps bugging me. I believe this relates to Sashiko in a deeper level. I watched several Greta’s speech. I agree with what she advocates. We need to be serious with the environmental issue. One thing, however, there is one thing I felt “strange”. ☆ In my opinion, no dispute based on broad categorization should happen. It is the beginning of a sad ending. Here, the environmental issue shouldn’t be a fight between “youth” vs “adults”. It is a fight of BOTH youth and adults to change the system. It should be “humanity” vs “system (power of money)”, not a child vs an adult based on the civilization we appreciate. Denying the parents and ancestors could result in denying oneself. I have done so much of denying my family (in Sashiko), and I wasn’t happy back then. ☆ Same goes to Sashiko. Please try to respect the Origin. I am NOT saying one should do ONLY the original or traditional Sashiko. Please enjoy what you like. However, willing to learn the traditional will make everyone on the same line - less arguing and more caring, and that’s the reason I share. We are on the same line - not fighting over the line. ☆ - - - ☆ グレタさんのスピーチ。気になったので、過去のものもしっかり見てみました。内容は同意。環境問題はとても大切。でも少し怖いのは、人間を雑に「分類」しすぎ（その気持ちはわかるけれど）。環境問題は、”大人対子供”という争いじゃないんです。”大人と子供対（お金基準の）システム”だと思っています。一般化は怖い。少数はの例外を否定することになるから。 ☆ これ、刺し子でも一緒なんです。日本国内で刺し子論議が白熱するのをみたことがありませんが、海外では白熱した議論が繰り返されています。「何が刺し子なのか」。これ、”刺し子”対”刺し子じゃない何か”の戦いなんです。もっと言えば、その人の価値観の代理戦争なんです。で、日本で刺し子やっている僕らは「いや、刺し子なんぞ、みんながら思っているの、全部刺し子で良いんじゃね？」というわけです。戦う必要がないから。でも、自分を正当化するために人は戦いたい。解決できるんです、この不毛な戦い。「それは先人を尊敬し、知ること」が第一歩です。先人は間違ってるかもしれない。でも、これだけのものを残したんです。それは尊重されるべきだし、今後がある僕らはそこから学ばなきゃいけない。だから古典、伝統、基本なんだと思っています。環境問題と刺し子を無理くり結びつけてますが、あながちズレまくってるわけでもないなと思っています。地球ごとの意識の転換期なんだろうなぁ。 #Sashiko #traditionalsashiko #SashikoStitching #Hitomezashi #WhatWeCanDo #Care #Share #SashikoClass #GretaThunberg #刺し子 #環境問題 #グレタトゥーンベリ https://www.instagram.com/p/B21cnRWpjPZ/?igshid=17nz2ebabqngr

"The Power of the Medium and the Journey of Making a Difference"

"Selpon Sa Paghilom Photographed by Kirsten Salazar"

In today's world, media and technology have a profound impact on our daily lives. From the way we consume news and information to the attitudes and beliefs we hold, the medium we engage with has a significant effect on our behavior. The rise of social media and the democratization of content creation have disrupted traditional media organizations and have both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, it has made it easier for people to express themselves and engage with diverse perspectives but on the other hand, it has resulted in an overwhelming amount of content and decreased quality control as well as the spread of polarizing and divisive views.

"The Journey of Doing What You Can to Leave a Lasting Impact in the World"

It's crucial to be conscious of the impact media has on our lives and to actively strive to create a more informed and resilient society. This begins with individuals taking small attainable steps towards their aspirations and doing what they can to make a difference whether it's through creating short videos or being more mindful of the media they consume. Everyone has the power to make an impact.

As media practitioners, it's important to play a role in shaping public discourse and promoting a more informed and resilient society. This can be done by emphasizing accuracy and balance in reporting promoting community and understanding by highlighting diverse voices, and inspiring hope by highlighting positive solutions and actions being taken to address global challenges.

"Understanding the Power of the Medium"

YouTube, for example is not just a medium for sharing videos but a message in and of itself. The nature of the internet, television or print media can alter our perception of time, the information we value and how we form opinions. In Bo Burnham's comedic video "Welcome to the Internet," he sheds light on the role of the internet and social media in our lives emphasizing the importance of being aware of their impact. As members of "Generation Z," we are characterized by our extensive technology usage and advanced digital literacy which has amplified our understanding of the complexities of the internet and the hierarchical structures that govern it.

In conclusion, media and technology play a crucial role in shaping our lives and it's important to be mindful of their impact. By embracing the power of the medium taking small steps towards our aspirations and playing a role in shaping public discourse we can all strive to create a more informed and resilient society and leave a lasting impact in the world.

Your Limitations is Your Imagination. There are Universal Laws of What a Human Cannot Do, but It's Doesn't Mean We Cannot Find Means and Ways to Do it. For Example, in the next thousand years of Human Evolution, We most Probably still Can't Fly by Ourselves. But We Created Instruments that allowed us to Cross Mountains and Oceans in hours and even to the Space. Hundred Years ago, Continent Travel would take Months, Now It just Takes Hours. If You Travelled back in time and told People that is our "Normal Day" Life, they would have thought you are Crazy, and for you to live in that era, You would also think they would be Crazy to embark on such a long Journey. "Sky is the Limits" Because They Didn't Know About Space. And Only when You get to the Sky, You'll Discover Space. Take Actions Towards Your Sky Today. P.S.

Tips to improve water quality and prevent water pollution - Handle toxic chemicals properly.

What You Can Do: The toxic chemicals like ammonia, bleach, paint, paint thinner, used motor oil and many other chemicals are becoming a severe problem, and if these are dumped down the drain or the toilet, the effects add up. Therefore proper disposal of these is important.

Homelessness: Are Politicians Doing Enough?

“I would just say to the politicians, what if it was you? What would you want, in the terms that you were homeless, what kind of care would you want? Because I’m sure if they put themselves in their shoes they wouldn’t be as greedy with the tax money as they are”, Cynthia Morales-Cordova, a college student from Merritt College and a lifelong Oakland…

Happy Good Friday! Here are some reusable alternatives to some household essentials

[sashico]

I watched Greta Thunberg speech at UN Climate Action Summit. It was inspirational. As a father of 4 years old girl, her message hit so hard to think about today and the future. I am not well-educated for the environmental issue and I still have to “borrow” from environment to achieve my dream, yet I am sure of what we can do together. “Caring”. ☆ I stopped purchasing the new cloth 2 years ago. It is my small step to care for the environment - a small contribution to be proud of my actions to my girl by leaving the culture of appreciating what we have. “Care” is the keyword. Understanding “why” is critical. “Mending whatever we have” may NOT be the ideal way because of several reasons. Understand, think, share, and then care. I guess that is what “ordinary adults” can do for our children. ☆ I was a bit like her in my childhood. The topic for her is the earth, and the topic for me was Sashiko. I still feel that my fate stole my childhood and my possibility by Sashiko. I was always angry to them. However, when my father taught me how to forgive, things started changing. At least, I am finding new good friends to pass down Sashiko. It is not right or wrong, nor better or worse. It is a collaborative process of caring what we appreciate - and who we are. ☆ - - - ☆ 今日の配信で話そうとしてたこと、すっかり忘れてた！国連でのグレタ・トゥーンベリさんのスピーチ。目が釘付けになりました。心が痛い……というか、娘の顔を思い浮かべて他人事には思えません。環境問題、完全に素人なので、しっかり勉強しなきゃと思いつつ、僕ら「大人」が今の子供達に残せるものの一つとして、「日本人的な中道観」があると思っています。これ、結構マジで思っています。論理的思考を持って効率と数字を重視する。この真逆にある日本人的中道観。僕の地元だと、「そしゃそやぞ」で解決される曖昧観。そして（だからこそ付随する数字には出てこない）気遣い。僕が娘に残せるのは、そんな価値観なんだろうなというのも、刺し子を伝え続ける意味の一つです。 ☆ グレタさん、とても注目度を浴びているので、いろんな角度から見られると思います。今回のスピーチも大変素晴らしいものでした。ただ、老婆心から言えば、「怒り」じゃないところにあるものを見てほしいな……と。勿論、怒りでしか対抗できない人がいることも承知の上で、やっぱり怒りじゃなく「気遣いの素晴らしさ」が広まれば良いなぁと思っています。配信の80%が怒りの愚痴配信の俺がアドバイスできることじゃないですけどね（笑） ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoStitching #Hitomezashi #WhatWeCanDo #Care #Share #SashikoClass #GretaThunberg #刺し子 #七福神 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zqDWWJlGi/?igshid=1x776i8xdh6qj

Recently I was observing a little kid the gym and as I watched him I realized that he was very hesitant to swing the bat at the ball. When I approached him he recognized me as his older brothers coach. We talked about why he didn’t swing the bat and it was because he was afraid to miss. I quickly said, often times we get so focused on what we can’t do that we allow it to stop us from what we can do. He ask me what I meant and I told him when we are scared most is when we need to try are best to be our best. He looked at me and said I got this coach, on the first attempt he missed the ball completely he looked and me and said I almost got it. I told him you sure did, I then asked him what adjustment do you need to make. He look at me made his adjust and hit the ball. The smile on his face was so rewarding. Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from what you can do. #Whatwecando #Ican #Igotthis #LeadershipLegacy
