Around the Zoom meetings and exclusive World Environment Day videos, these are two videos that struck me as extremely relevant for today's world.

The first one is a Hawaiian trained environmentalist(born in India)evoking Mahatma Gandhi to urge people to reamin linkedin and connected to start a people's movement towards climate action.  Individual actions gain momentum when they become organized. Here is the link

The second one is a talk by a young musician who has pledged to use his musical talents towatds environment and nature only. In December, 2019 he was talking to a small crowd in New Delhi, when he "predicted" with conviction that nature will take revenge and treat us the same way we are treating her. "Vasudeva Kutumbakam"  is talked about everyehere, but many understand it as unity of the human species only.  Do we need to expand our views?  Listen to his talk-20 minute long talk.  It is worth listening till the end.
