Business as Usual (BAU) continues the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere, driving climate change toward a catastrophic point where large ecosystems will change forever, a mass extinction event that would be terrible to witness and tragic for our descendents. It may be avoidable, but without effective action now, avoiding runaway heating will become more and more difficult.

The latest Marinations has several performances from Planetary Dance 2011, plus we show a taste of the Earth Run that is the culmination of the days prayer and dance. See episode 28 here: http://blip.tv/marinations/marinations-28-2011-sunrise-planetary-dance-5...

We go to China Camp State Park to interview Frank Quan, the last in a line of Chinese who lived at the little village on Point San Pedro and fished for shrimp in San Pablo Bay. Tied up at the pier is an authentic replica of a Chinese Shrimp Junk, built at the China Camp Village. We visit the boat works where another replica of an Italian style fishing boat is under construction.

We recently posted the Marinations program about the 2010 Planetary Dance and Earth Run that was held at Santos Meadow, Mt. Tamalpias State Park. This video includes footage from Walt Ferris, Sharon Skolnick-Bagnoli and Bruce Bagnoli and was made possible by use of the facilities and equipment of the Community Media Center of Marin.

Marinations

Visiting with designer-writer Sharon Skolnick-Bagnoli in this episode of Marinations, visual artist Bert Arenson describes the mysterious ways in which he manifests a painting. Then Julie Motz, explorer in the twin arenas of human psychology and wellness, shares glimpses of her journey and her penetrating work in healing.

Episode 14 of Marinations has an interview with Fran Quittel about how she and others that she met through the web organized to secure a 270M payback to depositors who lost funds when IndyMac bank failed in 2008. They fought for 2 years and used a fascinating combination of web tools like Google groups, Google Alerts, blogs, web pages, web collaboration and good old hard work to get a bill through the U.S. Congress that extended the FDIC depositor protections to some 9500 depositors who lost money in the failure.
