We are growing vegetables and large sunflowers on a quarter acre of land. This summer was busy so we didn't get to grow as much as we normally do. The spring was hot and dry which caused many seedlings to burn. The summer had violent storms that kept the soil powdery dry. The storms suck the moisture from the earth and dump it back thereby creating just topsoil moisture but not water deeper down. In the previous decade, April had gentle rain, as the saying goes "April showers bring May flowers," the past few years spring has been extremely dry. Our corn is not tall enough. The deer and rabbits have created havoc in our garden. It seems like the fox and the coyotes who are their natural predators, have disappeared.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.
