"Mark Bittman gives a short, inspiring talk on the imperative of changing our eating habits as a driver for both health and climate change."

"This is just what I need. I've been eating far too much junk the couple months. Just mindless nibbling while sitting in front of the computer working all day. Not good. I've been trying to motivate myself to change that habit and videos like this, do a lot for it."

"A bond was created
Doctors, health workers and volunteers from 30 different countries
of every race, religion, color, culture, and nation
worked together and fought alongside each other
fought against a common enemy
not against each other.
How can that not make you feel optimistic for the future?"

"Thinking of the effect many 'great expectations' do have in our lives, I now realize that these expectations can sometimes hold us back and therefore limit our ability to expand our horizons.

We so badly cling to these 'great' expectations that we are blinded from other opportunities that lie ahead of us. To make matters worse, these expectations do cloud our judgment and hamper our ability to face challenges.

The worst that can happen when we just focus on getting what we already expect is that we become myopic and overlook the long term."

"There is need for consumer awareness even as the telecommunications sector in Kenya becomes very exciting. Fortunately, there has been seemingly endless talk about tariff wars between Zain Kenya and Safaricom.
There should be a proper understanding of broadband, mobile broadband and how this compares to the traditional cable and the now familiar OTA (over the air) GSM internet solutions."

"Larry Brilliant, Head of Google.org gave this compelling talk about how smallpox was eradicated from the planet. He also presented his case for optimism in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges."

If human beings collectively acted to avert the global climate change that confronts us, if human beings individually reduced their carbon footprint by lessening pollution, if governments, corporations and individuals actively engaged renewable energy sources, if more recycling is done, if we plant more trees, if we clean up the environment; there is hope.
At a time when global oil prices keep rising, the cost of living is almost overwhelming, Green Kenya has been founded on the belief that something can be done to turn things around. That something needs to be done quickly and efficiently.
But who will do what?

At a time when we are facing a global energy crisis and experiencing adverse climate changes, I see a need to change the way we live.
Let us learn and share.

"Capital Talk is a very informative and edifying programme. In fact, many of the featured guests are quite inspiring."
