The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every facet of human life. Negative emotions like fear, stress, anxiety and depression are inevitable and can overwhelm even the most optimistic of people. What can we do to nurture our happiness during these unprecedented times?

Dr. Keltner, the professor behind the popular UC Berkeley course "The Science of Happiness" and founding director of the Greater Good Science Center, joins INFORUM to answer that question. He shares stories, tips and resources to help listeners cope with issues like talking to your children about COVID-19, finding connection while social distancing, managing financial stress and much more. Learn not only how to survive during this time of unrest, but how, together, we can thrive in it.

The Legacy of The Exxon Valdez (2008): Oil is still polluting the shores and bankrupted fishermen are still waiting for the $5

The Legacy of The Exxon Valdez (2008): Oil is still polluting the shores and bankrupted fishermen are still waiting for the $5 billion payout granted in 1994.

Exxon Valdez leaked more than 40 million litres of crude oil into Alaska's pristine waterways nineteen years ago. Today, oil is still polluting the shores and bankrupted fishermen are still waiting for the $5 billion payout granted in 1994.

After a series of appeals by the company, $5 billion became $2.5. Now that the case has reached the increasingly pro-business US Supreme Court, fishermen fear they could end up with nothing. While ExxonMobil claims the area has returned to robust health, locals tell of vastly depleted fish stocks, which almost disappeared after the spill. ExxonMobil claims the fish fell victim to a virus, a theory disputed by the fishermen, who are backed by scientific evidence: "The fish can't disappear like they're telling the public. [Exxon's]] explanation just isn't practical," says an expert. As the legal case drags on, a fifth of the plaintiffs have died and the rest have lost hope. For them, Exxon has already won no matter what. Yet the oil giant keeps repeating that the spill was a tragic accident and that the company has acted responsibly towards the local communities. Fishermen whose livelihoods were ruined feel cheated: "Exxon says that everything's coming back and everything's fine - it's a lie."

Water is an element that can unite our Nations to serve a common purpose. 
     We are making an International Call to attend the Nibi Water Gathering at the Turtle Lodge, on the Shores of Lake Winnipeg, one of our most endangered lakes, where the four rivers meet, on June 4 and 5, 2015.
     At the Water Ceremony the Original People of Turtle Island (North America) will formally establish their leadership. The Nibi Water Gathering will coincide with the honouring of leaders in Earth stewardship, those who have been spiritually guided in their leadership, and the honouring of Youth completing their rites of passage to adulthood.
     It is our hope that People of all cultures will attend and make their gifts and offerings to the Water!

About this Documentary Short: A scholar, activist, and Buddhist thinker, Joanna Macy, PhD, (1929-2025) has shaped movements worldwide. This short film highlights her impact on activism, nuclear guardianship, and personal transformation, and showcases how the Joanna Macy Center at Naropa continues to inspire hope and responsibility for future generations, both locally and beyond. About the Joanna Macy Center for Resilience & Regeneration: Naropa University’s Joanna Macy Center seeks to advance Joanna Macy’s work and vision by empowering present and future generations to build a more resilient world that works for all. Our goal at the Center is to help Naropa students, faculty, and the broader community develop deep and loving relationships with themselves, each other, and nature. These healing connections inspire us to join together in collaborative action. As Dr. Macy reminds us, we are all interconnected, and this interconnectedness is the key to our healing. Join us for Reconnecting for a Just and Regenerative Future, a powerful three-day conference at Naropa University, celebrating 50 years of visionary learning and action inspired by the legacy of Joanna Macy's The Work that Reconnects. In a time of deep social and ecological crisis, this gathering brings together frontline leaders from environmental activism, social justice, ecopsychology, Indigenous decolonization work, and more to reimagine what’s possible. Documentary Short Sponsors: This video is made possible by the incredible generosity and support of Christopher & LuAnne Hormel. Production: River North Media & Naropa University staff.
