In this talk, I put forward the experience of Viktor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, as an example of one who can help us face an uncertain future. He came out of a terrifying past and we are facing an uncertain future. (Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl, 1948)

World Water Day presentation

 The Rebellious Seeker spoke at the recent World Water Day. Two themes covered were the following.

1. A global water crisis is emerging. This is now occurring in some of the major cities of the world, starting with Cape Town in South Africa. It is better to act now on this in order to avert a major crisis later. 

Take a look at this well documented video.

2. Bottled water is a very poor choice for drinking water in most areas that have well regulated municipal tap water. 

To see how the bottled water industry arose and how to combat it see this video clip. 

How to face the coming environmental crisis

Welcome to 2020 and happy new year. If you are young, it may not be a happy new year. Science says with a high degree of probability, that in 10 years (2030) the planet may be unliveable.

The Plastification of the World, or Why this Bottled Water Craze?

Do you know that globally, for every minute one million plastic water bottles are sold?

Do you know that most of these bottles are not recycled, but instead end up in the environment?

Do you know that vast ocean islands of plastic waste are accumulating in the oceans?

The largest is estimated to be 1.6 million km² in size. At present rates, by 2050, there will be more plastics (by weight) in the ocean than fish.

Why is all this happening?
