<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BIaRN4y06GE" width="560"></iframe>
Gino grew up with farms around his property. Recently, many lands used to grow food and raise farm animals were sold to property developers which led to the boom of suburbia. Gino is holding onto his land for his horses and chickens while watching his country disappears. What can we do to stop the spread of suburbanization?

Tony gives a quick tour outside of Williams's eco-friendly home in Leveque, Haiti. Emmanuel Jacq volunteered to be the cameraman and contributed a few minutes of his time to EcoDeaf. Emmanuel is the co-founder and the executive director of the International Deaf Emergency (IDE). Visit <a href="http://www.ideafe.org/">www.ideafe.org</a> to learn more about the work of IDE in Haiti.<br />

*Please note that I signed Haiti wrong in the beginning of the v-log. To sign Haiti the right way, use both letters the H and I, instead of H alone, over the "island" hand, which I signed it correctly at the end of the v-log. It took me a while to change that signing habit after I was corrected by the Deaf Haitians during my visit. If you look at the map of Haiti, you'll see how it makes sense to use both the H and I letters. -Tony <br />

Please allow 17 seconds to pass by before the video actually starts playing. Tony had to record the video playing on an outdated MP3 player with the iPhone, then it was transferred via the USB port on Kathryn Montoya's laptop, and then she uploaded it on her YouTube channel. This video of Deaf Haitians saving Baby Wilson is being preserved by Kathryn Montoya who regularly visits the village of Leveque in Caberet, Haiti. She is a great person to get in touch with if anyone is interested in traveling with a group of people to Haiti.<br />

Kathryn can be reached through her website: <a href="http://www.cbdeafministry.org">CB Deaf Ministry</a>.<br />

Sainteloi Williams tells the story how a group of Deaf Haitians banded together and relocated to the village of Leveque after earthquake struck Port-au-Prince in 2010. Williams shares how the Deaf villagers discovered and saved a baby who was thrown down in the latrine, or commonly known as the pit toilet, by the hearing parents. Imagine what it would be like to relocate to a new land to start your life all over again after going through a natural disaster?<br />

<i>Translation for non-signers</i>: "Hello. My name is Tony Brucato. I am from Buffalo, New York. I came to Solar Liberty Foundation, which is is abbreviated as SLF. SLF is founded and run by Paige Mecca. SLF's mission is to donate solar kits to poor, developing nations. The kits provide solar energy. SLF donated four solar kits to the Deaf Village in Leveque, Haiti. Here I will show you how the kit works. This is the solar panel which absorbs the energy from the sun. This is the battery where the solar energy is stored. This is the whole array of chargers for cell phones, cameras and laptops. And for night times, when there is no electricity, Deaf Haitians can use these two solar LED lights to chat in sign language. That's how it works. I am really excited about bringing and giving the kits to the Deaf Village in Haiti. We thank, thank (signed it twice) Solar Liberty Foundation for the donation. Thank you very much!"<br />

On behalf of Solar Liberty Foundation, thank YOU, Tony!<br />

<br />
Anthony gives a brief demo on how to use miswak. Miswak is a natural twiggy toothbrush and it is still commonly used in Africa and Middle East. Miswak has been around for thousands of years and there is no reason to discontinue it due to having modern toothbrushes and dental care. Cleaning the teeth with miswak is naturally fun and it has benefits such as reducing the build-ups of plaque and gingivitis. It can be used to pass the time such as meditating or tending a vegetable garden. Miswak can be found at some natural food stores. For your own health safety, consult your dentist and do some research on miswak before giving it a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92610223288822769.post-41794193893557847932013-02-08T09:36:00.001-05:002013-02-08T09:36:20.839-05:00Natural Childbirth Classes: Bradley Method<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1360333845873_3766" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Pregnant?

Germany, Berlin<br /><br /><b>about me </b><br />Hiya! I was born in bavaria, for me its the greenest state in Germany. My father a farmer, so I grew up around the Nature. And always get the feeling, that it is urgent to be aware about the Nature and that she is speaking to us the whole time.<br /><br /><b>eco skills </b>Because of being vegetarian, I know, that I am doing for the Earth a lot, therefore I think, its a skill. I am working always on my consumption. I try my best to to reduce the consumption, which is not always easy in the 21th and in a city with people around without mindfulness. Instead of driving a car ride a bike or take public transport. Well, i am interested in all ways, so just everything.<br /><br /><b>eco interests </b>deep ecology, mountain hike, ecophilosophy/ecospirituality, druidism and buddhism, herballore/botany, aikido, climbing, reiki, meditation<br /><br /><br /><b>contact</b> postmassi at googlemail dot comEcoDeafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10369330581792131913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92610223288822769.post-74040940582830733052012-04-03T19:11:00.000-04:002012-04-03T19:12:16.318-04:00How To Make Your Own Foam Soap<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/54E2sve-dzg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92610223288822769.post-87190513555415464722012-03-09T13:08:00.001-05:002012-03-09T13:13:05.673-05:00Matthias Ranner: From Berlin, Seeking Internship<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Ladies and gentlemen,</p><br />my Name is Matthias. I´m from Germany. I´m born deaf.<br />I study Socialwork in Berlin. At the present I am in 2th semester. In the fifth semester<br />I´m gonna to do my internship for 5 or 6 months.<br /><br />Yes, because of my coming internship I write you this email.<br /> I seek for an internship, which would match or has to do something with my interests.<br />I hope, you can help me further.<br /><br />For my internship I would like to do something in the direction of pedagogic, education and/or spirituality. Such as outdoor/experience education, circus pedagogic, deep ecology. As well work for awareness and mindfulness. Maybe something in Buddhism or in spiritual elements. Maybe something with holistic basis. Maybe something in relation with the Nature. Maybe in a meditation-center for deaf. Do you know something of this for deaf people?<br /><br />I want to do something and to learn for the future of our generation and for our after childrens<br />in a sign-language place or deaf-friendly place. There who signs a language.

My name is Anna and I am a deaf eco-advocate! Born and raised in the Bay Area, California, to hearing parents, I have always been a part of both the deaf and the hearing world and proud to be so.

A semi-vegetarian, I make a large effort to only eat local, wild and organic food when it is affordable (college student during an economic recession, hello!). I do the usual: compost, recycle, reuse, the metallic Kleen Kanteen water bottle, the nerdy right pant-let-roll-up for biking, printing dual-sided on scratch paper for paper editing, using eco-font to reduce ink usage, making candlesticks out of wine bottles… all of that in a nutshell. </span></p><p style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); text-indent: 0.5in;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">ecointerests</span> have always had a huge interest in a LARGE variety of eco-related issues, specifically that of climate change, energy policy (especially in California) local agriculture development, slow/local food, and waste and energy reduction. I am also a biker, and in relation to my graduate research, I am also an advocate for all modes of alternate transportation and encouraging the reduction of local commuting via automobile!
