The document is about an art exhibit by photographer Chris Jordan called "Running the Numbers, an American Self Portait" which uses a series of images to represent the massive amounts of waste produced in the United States each day. Some of the images represent 426,000 discarded cell phones daily, 200,000 cigarette packs consumed like the number of Americans who die from smoking every 6 months, and millions of plastic bottles, bags and aluminum cans thrown out every few minutes or hours. The exhibit aims to highlight how much waste accumulates beyond our sight and emphasize that environmental degradation is caused by the cumulative actions of individuals, so the solution requires changes in personal habits like reducing, reusing and recycling.

Creation PpsEric Snyder

听

This humorous passage describes how God created healthy foods like vegetables, olive oil, and lean meats for humans to live long and healthy lives. However, Satan intervened by creating and promoting unhealthy, fattening foods like ice cream, donuts, fried foods, and fast food. As a result, humans gained weight and suffered health issues. God tried various solutions like running shoes and heart surgery, but Satan countered with sedentary activities and cuts to healthcare, making the health problems worse.

The WindowEric Snyder

听

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The wife criticizes her neighbor's laundry hanging on the line, saying it is not clean and she doesn't know how to wash properly. This goes on for a month until one day the wife notices the laundry is clean and comments on it. The husband reveals he cleaned their windows that morning, implying the wife's critical view of the neighbor was due to the dirty windows, not the laundry itself. The document encourages people to examine their own mindset and cleanse their perspective before judging others.

Enhance StorytellingEric Snyder

听

1. The document summarizes research into using storytelling to build relationships and engagement in online facilitation. It discusses different technologies tested like audio/video conferencing, chat tools, blogging, and virtual worlds. 2. Storytelling introductions in email were found to identify more aspects of people and make more connections than just reading profiles. Audio conferencing allowed for natural discussions but lacked inclusiveness. 3. Video conferencing helped build honesty and deeper listening by providing visual feedback, while chat tools combined well with audio. Blogging was less engaging when participant choices were constrained.

The document discusses how possessions accumulate in homes over time like ice builds up on ships, making the home feel cluttered and weighed down. It encourages the reader to think of their home as a ship carrying them through life and to regularly declutter by giving unwanted items to others through programs like Full Circles in order to travel lightly and prevent their "ship" from being sunk by excess stuff.

This document uses a metaphor of a home being like a ship to encourage decluttering from excess possessions. It describes how ice built up and sank a fishing boat called "El Loda Cash". Similarly, the document says unwanted items like Christmas gifts and sale purchases continuously accumulate in homes like ice, burdening the inhabitants. It shows a photo of a junk room taking up space that could be used by children. The document advocates adopting the "Full Circles habit" of regularly getting rid of surplus possessions through donation so one's "ship" is not sunk by the weight of accumulating clutter.
