The Julie/Julia Project different then other is because of her cooking blog is not only sharing cooking technique, but sharing her experience of learning from a cookbook. Learning experience of Julie is overlap with the learning experience of Julia, Julie Powell wrote a post to tell her sad feeling and why she is so respect Julia, the post is on August12, 2004, one day after Julie heard Julia died.
here is some paragraph form her blog “Julia Child began learning to cook when she was thirty-seven years old.She started because she wanted to feed her husband Paul.She started because though she’d fallen in love with great food late, when she did she’d fallen hard.She started because she was in Paris.She started because she didn’t know what else to do……...the openness to experience that makes life worth living…..Julia was so impressive, so instructive, so exhilarating, because she was a woman, not a goddess……if Julia did it, so could we. ….

Here is a series of video come launch at last month, from a Sweden environment organization Rolighetsteorin which is run by Volkswagen, cars company.

"Take the stairs instead of escalators or elevator and feel better" is something you often hear or maybe read in Sunday attachments, but very few people have followed this advice. Can we get more people to walk over the stairs over on a normal day in Stockholm, by making it more fun to take the stairs? The result you see here.
In their website, they create a competition,
Tävlingsregler Competition Rules Find your own evidence that happiness is the easiest way to get to the changes and improvements. For yourself, the environment or whatever you want. The contribution is presented with a text description and a visualization of the idea, which can range from simple pencil sketches and photos to photo or film of a prototype. You decide how to make your contribution fairest.
Their website written in Swedish, I get translation by google.transtlate.
Many people have a dream to contribute the World to make our earth better, but most of us give up this dream when we grow up. Creativity and Art is the most beautiful thing in human.

“Our missions are being a fun source of entertainment for the participants, those who happen to see us live, and those who read this website. We get satisfaction from coming up with an awesome idea and making it come to life. In the process we bring excitement to otherwise unexciting locales and give strangers a story they can tell for the rest of their lives. We’re out to prove that a prank doesn’t have to involve humiliation or embarrassment; it can simply be about making someone laugh, smile, or stop to notice the world around them.”
This month some of my friend joined TOYS (Take off your skin), is a large-scale collaborative dance-performance and media art form during Melbourne Fringe 2009. Over 100 performers and many others infected the streets of Melbourne as a mass clone explosion. Simultaneous cloning occurred in Newcastle, Darwin, Brisbane, Nagoya and even at the Venice Biennale.
For me I think that if you want to change people behavior, you have to change their thought first, when you see the same icon walk in everywhere can make you review your life, is it many same icon in the earth, am I unique? Bring us to this entire philosophical question J
