I thought I would share one of my all-time favorite ski flicks in the spirit of back to school and back to winter.

Before there was James Bond, there was Apocalyse Snow. I first saw this classic ski film at summer camp in the French Alps. The movie started the snowboarding revolution in Europe. It’s one part comic-book fantasy, one part rowdy ski film, and one part awesome nonesense. Boy, was it fun to reminisce! It’s in French but you don’t need a foreign language to understand.

Sometimes you come across those videos that resonate through every fiber of your being. This is one of those.

It’s not a proven science but at least there are folks out THINKING and trying to find solutions. Solar Roadways, an awesome concept in motion.

Dan Nocera has a simple formula to save the planet: sunlight + water = energy for the world.

These shorts created for the Focus Forward Film Competition in 2013 are amazing displays of what special innovative minds can do to make a difference in the world. It’s too bad the competition didn’t continue. The more folks motivated to explore solutions or shed light on current projects, the better for all.
