  • Archbishop Desmond Tutu
    The name Desmond Tutu resonates profoundly with people all around the world. While his vigorous anti-apartheid activism in his native South Africa first propelled him into the glare of international news media, today he is revered as a "moral voice" and someone who speaks with gravitas on a range of issues. While he is an Anglican Archbishop emeritus and steadfast in his religious beliefs, Tutu places great value on religious inclusiveness and interfaith dialogue.

The Spiritual Cinema Circle

Now, At Last, You Can See Movies That Will Warm Your Heart, Expand Your Mind, and Stir Your Soul...Without Ever Leaving Your Home!

Finally, a service that's unique and deeply needed.

Stephen Simon, Producer of Somewhere in Time and What Dreams May Come, Producer/Director of Indigo said "Before now, hardly anyone got to see the best movies made each year. Now, by joining The Spiritual Cinema Circle, you'll see movies that will warm your heart, expand your mind, and stir your soul...without leaving home."   

The Spiritual Cinema Circle is an affordable way to bring hours of inspiring entertainment into your life each month.

It's fast and easy

Here's how it works:

Each month you receive 4 features and shorts on DVD. The movies are personally selected by me and my team. These movies represent the best of spiritual cinema and art.

The movies are new films you're unlikely to see anywhere else.

The DVDs are yours to keep. You don't have to return them. In fact, you're encouraged to share them with friends and family, in order to broaden the worldwide Spiritual Cinema community.

The cost of the service is kept deliberately low, so the maximum number of people can participate. If you join now, you pay the new member rate of only $20 per month instead of the regular $29 fee.

There's no risk - you may cancel your membership at any time. And remember, you never have to return any of your DVDs, even if you decide to cancel your membership.

Join the Spiritual Cinema Circle Program NOW and enjoy an inspiring experience month after month.

Shopping with Gaiam

Gaimm Our name GAIAM was created as a fusion of the words Gaia — the name for Mother Earth in the Minoan civilization in ancient Crete — and “I am.” It symbolizes the interconnection of the Earth and all the life it sustains.

Gaiam (pronounced "guy-um") was founded on the concept of making decisions based on personal values that consider all aspects of our lives, as well as our impact on others and the planet, today and in the future. This concept is already shared by over 50 million people in the United States alone — and we believe that it is not just a trend, but a major cultural shift.

We see signs everywhere in today's life experience of how conscious lifestyle values — including social and environmental responsibility, health and wellness, and personal development — are driving more consumer purchase decisions and pervading an ever-wider range of venues, from mass-market grocery stores to online communities. We believe that a growing number of people have a desire for media and products that inspire them to expand their awareness and pursue positive change in their lives.

Gaiam is creating a sense of community among its customers and making a difference in the world by educating people about the benefits of Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS). We believe we are poised to successfully grow this mission in the years ahead, and we look forward to your continued support. Thank you for your commitment.

Alonova

What is alo

novo.com?

A free, Intelligent Marketplace for Socially Responsible Shopping (SRS). There are no subscription fees, and no additional charges are added to the products you purchase. We get paid a commission from Amazon, and we then share what we get with the cause of your choice.

Why should I use alonovo.com?

Because alonovo.com is the only place you can get trusted company ratings integrated into your shopping experience.  Plus, we donate a minimum of 20% of revenue to a non-profit of your choice (40% with active partners) and you help begin the new, social values led economy. The more you use us (and tell everyone about us), the greater impact we have on corporate behavior, and the more we can reinvest into the alonovo.com experience to make it even better for you in the future.

What does alo

novo mean?

Alo Novo is Latin for “sustaining or nurturing change, something new”.

Who is alonovo.com?

We are a diverse group of business professionals concerned about corporate responsibility.  Read more about the team here.

How is alonovo.com funded ?

Our founder left Oracle Corporation and invested everything he accumulated during his tenure into building this experience for society. With growing concern about the environment, the treatment of labor, consolidation of wealth and other pressing issues, we felt that the best way to progress society was to directly connect corporate behavior to the profit motive. In this manner we use the free market economy to cause companies to evolve and embody respect for people and planet into the profit equation. Thus far the effort has been funded solely by him and each of you (when you shop through our portal, we earn revenue).

 

Mission

We are fostering cooperation in the market between supply and demand by introducing Corporate Social Responsibility as a competitive demand factor. This will cause the free market to naturally balance people, planet and profit within the supply chain. We accomplish our mission by providing a socio-values driven shopping portal to catalyze an informed marketforce demand. We also include Social Responsibility news aggregation, a community information exchange, subject matter expert blogging and SR-related community education.

Our vision embodies a fair, growing economy that does not conflict with all living beings' rights to clean air, fresh water and living their lives with dignity and opportunity.

 
      

intelligent marketplace

Think of the power of a large database that collects information about how corporations behave and then integrates that data directly into the shopping experience. When you are about to purchase a TV, shoes, socks or an IPOD you can not only consider the price and the quality of the product, but can easily see what kind of behavior we are "buying into".

Our alonovo.com mission is to connect the concept of corporate behavior directly to the profit motive. When a corporation is evolving to balance people, planet and profit -everyone wins.

We are working to inform society in a very simple, visually appealing manner with regard to corporate behavior at their point of online purchase. And the reason is every time we make a purchase we are transferring power to a business. Is this power going to support ...
 
  * Fair Labor or Sweatshops?
  * Emission Reduction or Pollution?
  * Recycling or Toxic Waste?
  * Resource Conservation or Plunder the Earth?
  * Political Neutrality or Undermine Democracy?
  * Partner with Local Community or Destroy the Local Community Economy?

So by offering products from one of the leaders in the online shopping world (Amazon.com), trusted data from independent well-respected sources like KLD Research & Analytics, Inc., Social Accountability International and others, we provide a free experience that will gradually connect how a company behaves with their profit. And this is the importance of a large and growing alonovo.com community. If we are just a small group of people, we won't have much of an impact. However if you tell everyone you know about this service (and they tell everyone they know, and so on) we can be a large force that can make a tremendous impact in terms of how corporations conduct themselves.

When you purchase using alonovo.com, you are doing your part to send a clear message to businesses—we want blue skies, clean water, a fair and growing economy, intelligent use of our natural resources, safe and humane workplaces and sensible partnerships with local communities.

Beyond helping to shape social, environmental and political practices of businesses, you are also directly helping non-profit organizations that need funding for their critical work. We, the alonovo.com community contribute between 20% and 40% of our revenue (based upon your purchases through alonovo.com) to your cause of choice.

This is a community we can all be proud to belong to, regardless of political perspectives and ideology.

The alonovo community: the power of millions of informed, aware and caring people acting in concert. For a better  world.
