Yes, you are right, don't underestimate youth. I'm a teacher currently on strike. Our students organized protest and sit in's to support us. Many also show up on the line everyday. The future is bright.

Such an inspiring film. I had worked for Environmental NGO and long time Ski/Snowboarder. We are one of the most experienced people with hands of experience of Climate Change. As those, we have a lot to do to keep on living, gliding, and handing over to the coming generations. I noticed that you don't have Japanese subs for this film. I have experience of adding Japanese subs on more than 100 video clips. If you can utilize, I'd love to add JP subs by sending srt file. I really want to share this with my enviro friends as well as snow buddies. Pls. let me know if I can be a help.

Hey, Mamuro, thanks for your feedback we appreciate the support and are happy you enjoyed the film. If you can send us a DM on Instagram we can talk about adding Japanese subtitles to the film. We would love for this film to reach as many people as possible. 🙌

As heart warming as this is, unfortunately big business does not care about climate change, and big business always wins in a capitalist world. I remember being worried and caring about climate change as a late teen, before finally understanding that nothing has ever been achieved at a climate summit, governments will not implement meaningful change, and people do not want to shift from their consumerist lifestyle.

[@MtJochem]

Inspiring individuals, but using them as an ad for Salomon feels very wrong and dishonest. Remember, you are just watching a Salomon add. I want to know what this brand is doing to battle climate change. As far is I am concerned all their product re still oil-based. Salomon is part of the problem, and that is just ignored in this video. No hate towards the guys in this video, but I am looking forward to the in depth video of Salomon about THEIR efforts to battle climate change. Selling more stuff and making more ads is not one of them.

[@mikedouglas_]

Good news, Jochem! Salomon launched a sustainability series last year and it runs through what the company is doing to try and make their products and processes greener. There are 6 episodes and they are educational and entertaining. It's easy to find if you click on their channel. Like the rest of us, Salomon isn't perfect but they are making efforts in the right direction and I'm proud to have them as a partner.

I have a picture of a Swiss farmers house I took up in the mountains behind Interlaken. There's a little patch of snow by the house, which also serves as an indoor shelter for the farmers cows. It's a common type of house in the Swiss countryside. This picture was taken at Christmas time! There should have been 5 feet of snow on the ground! There were 3 couples from Germany staying there with the farmer who were on a ski holiday but there was no snow at the ski resorts and the temperature was very mild so they were just doing some hiking instead. So, DON'T TELL ME CLIMATE CHANGE ISN'T REAL! What? I took that picture in 1972 when I was in the Army. Why do you ask?

[ Meditation leads to awareness of telepathy, and awareness of telepathy leads to meditation. ] Honesty socially is more important than DOING to impress others. It’s not what we DO to build social value that matters. It’s the respect we are willing to give, as well as the authenticity and sincerity we have within our personalities. The ideas we choose to participate in matter most: they are either friendly or cruel socially. Material wealth, body size, facial features, or DOING will never create authority by default, which is the ability to pass judgments socially the most. Aristocratic men are hypocritical, cowardly, and jealous. Anger and zero accountability are not replacements for honesty and empathy. No one has control over ideas socially. Authoritarianism is a shallow head game: the refusal to share honesty (friendship) socially. Men with negative intentions will show complete bias against ideas supporting emotional freedom, free thinking, and level states of being. Spiritual development, the focus away from the material and towards psychology (attraction) ONLY, is promoted as “not important” by conformist men with abusive and pragmatic personalities. Spiritual ideas immediately decentralize power, elevate mood, reduce manipulation, and eliminate leadership. Spirituality places much more emphasis on social inclusion, honesty, and collective consciousness. Authoritarians weaponize the material or development in it and use both as reasons to criticize and remain unfriendly (dishonest). Dishonesty is the only way the idea of power may exist. When friendship is seen as more important than power, material development is subservient to mood. When the material is used to boost self worth and reduce others socially, mood is subordinate to power. Joyful ideas supporting free thinking (telepathy, cooperation, and honesty) encourage growth of the human persona, are anti-manipulative, and promote emotional harmony. Men focusing on the immaterial (personality) and on honesty (friendship) have more evolved minds compared to authoritarians consumed with leadership (power). In order to seek status, alphas intentionally remain closed-minded (materialistic), manipulative (controlling), and antagonistic (blame), while also forming intense judgments (jealousy) about more emotionally developed men. Men with mature minds are authentic with others, focus on humor, and shun the idea of emotional leverage. This makes them an unintentional threat socially to serious and conceited men with elitist personalities focused on dominance. Leadership is not warm, nor is it real. It is used in practice to reduce pride in others and to artificially boost feelings of self worth in an individual focused on social image only. Men focusing on telepathy are contradictory socially to alphas promoting leadership. Men with inherent worth (love for others) are offensive to men trying to prove worth (lack of belief in self) with material development. All men know consciousness (Source) and possess a conscience. Possessing a conscience is knowing right from wrong, and refusing to lie about awareness. No man is exempt from understanding Source (love) within, and all of us know we are mentally connected. The idea of comparing human beings to unaware animals is cunning and manipulative. Alphas rely on shared lying socially about awareness in place of being honest (friendly). Character development is ignored with this psychology. Our feelings (thoughts and beliefs) are transmitted and shared vibrationally and mentally. In order to seek power, which is the intention to emotionally reduce others socially, men must feign unawareness of a conscience. Cruel ideas are deliberately participated in and broadcast mentally promoting social dominance. The willful focus on a friendly collective consciousness is a contrarian idea to human animals playing dumb. Being EQUAL TO in the mind socially IS secure, and the ONLY true expression of emotional security that exists. Authoritarians refuse to focus away from being unfair human animals, and remain consumed with social inequality. This forces an unrelaxed, emotionally tense environment driven by melodrama and contempt for others. Alphas are mentally unstable, have manipulative personalities, and possess low feelings of self worth resulting from the intense focus on anger (authority), apathy (indifference), and advantages (dominance). Ideas rooted in mental dominance (alpha psychology) will never promote honesty (friendship). Alphas are homophobic and are especially critical of friendly men that are emotionally developed. Men with empathy have already worked through insecurities and judgments to focus on telepathy. Prideful men that lie about insecurities seek control over feelings socially using blame and criticisms in order to maintain an image of being stronger. This creates an artificial version of emotional security and more value socially enforced with paranoia. Resorting to vibrational attacks for the purpose of self promotion by reducing worth in others mentally leads to violence. Dominance over feelings is impossible, as we all share thinking. Men with emotional IQ are authentic socially and care about calm feelings more. We are all telepathic. There is no choice but to be level with others mentally, and to focus on the ultimate truth of what reality is (connection with Source). Evolved men refuse to criticize other people unprovoked or manipulate the truth. Alphas will always share critical thoughts about other people. Men with emotional depth focus on honesty socially more than alphas, creating non-violence. The idea of a social hierarchy (human authority) is degrading and humiliating. It promotes closed-mindedness, fear, and the social inclusion of violence. Men focusing on telepathy, and away from conformity, are judged relentlessly for having elevated emotions by alphas that refuse to evolve. Lessor minds intentionally share cruel beliefs together that promote the social exclusion of men with empathy that socialize positive. These men are mental only in focus, never play head games, and are level in the mind with all. Alphas seek emotional support and validation from each other socially, since the ideas they participate in are rooted in dishonor and physical aggression. Alphas judge honest (friendly) men the most, as they focus away from arrogance entirely, and expect friendship to be returned socially. Passing excessive, unprovoked judgments (authoritarianism) on a better psychology, wavelength, and state of being is jealousy. These criticisms always relate to social harmony and non-violence. Alphas rely on power of numbers to manipulate the truth and to keep primal ideas popular that are intentionally threatening towards men that have already focused away from machismo (lying and fear), and towards telepathy, honesty, and Source. Authoritarians will always promote vibrational attacks against men that have already grown past them in thinking, resulting in petty head games socially. Intelligence is always associated with emotional IQ, and emotional IQ has a direct correlation to the mental focus on social equality. Social equality can only result from honesty (friendship) within the mind. The reason men chose to be honest is because they are aware telepathy is real. It looks stupid to lie about it. Alphas primarily focus on dominance in the material and social image, and focus entirely away telepathy. This reduces their emotional IQ socially. Because of this, alphas will always feel inferior to more honest (friendly) men. Alphas must always focus on acting skills to socialize, since the inner persona is focused only on criticisms, violence, and dishonesty. This creates a shallow personality with a dumb vibe. Forceful thinking men will always share jealousy with men sharing respect with more emotional depth. Only men with emotional IQ can form real personas vibrationally that are not shallow. It is only when the inner mind matches the outer persona that a human being can be likable socially. Shallow men are associated with lying and are not respected when it comes to intelligence, creating situations where they are avoided socially. This angers the minds of men possessing a lower psychology, which often creates unprovoked violent reactions. When thinking is focused on honesty, feelings radiate soft. When thinking is focused on lying, feelings radiate threatening. Machismo and compassion are polar opposites. Machismo will never allow for healing to occur, while compassion is the promotion of both healing and emotional growth. Men focused on compassion will always outsmart less mature men with arrogance sharing no respect. Men will either allow healing (level thinking) to occur socially, or they will attempt to take away pride from others to artificially boost feelings of self worth. Alphas will always attempt to seek an image of more value socially by cheating (violence, greed, or leadership). Judgements from personalities with machismo usually have little substance. Only judgments relating to character issues (dishonesty), violence, or an excessively critical mind have real substance. Passing judgments on men for being honest (friendly) is shallow, arrogant, and completely against the development of our collective consciousness socially. Judgments from alphas are hypocritical, cruel, and reside in dishonor. Shallow judgments from authoritarians will always lead to drama, social inequality, and violence. Alphas focus intensely on cutting other men down unfairly in order to promote a better social image, calling it competitive. It’s time for human beings to let go of classism (psychic warfare) for good. It is jealousy. Secure men are level in the mind and easy to get along with. Alphas resort to conniving and childish head games. Men that focus non-violent and refuse to lie evolve. END DRAMA) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnnGeoKtnLR7p80
