I'm Maria Mark's bully

10

: 00:00:22

and I'm Mark and this is Juicy Magic on the daily

11

: 00:00:29

I'm sorry baby it's okay

12

: 00:00:32

I love being barefoot it makes me feel really happy um

13

: 00:00:36

yeah if you can every day

14

: 00:00:38

I used to stand on a mat of

15

: 00:00:40

of wheatgrass when I was the manager

16

: 00:00:42

front house at a sprouting organic sprouting store

17

: 00:00:47

I still have a hard time drinking wheatgrass now

18

: 00:00:49

because of that I drank way too much

19

: 00:00:51

but that's that's another story

20

: 00:00:53

we're here in beautiful Greece on the peloponese

21

: 00:00:56

and what do I have in my hands

22

: 00:00:59

plastic got some plastic here

23

: 00:01:01

so you know even the nice thing is that when we pray

24

: 00:01:04

like the Mahamantra it means oh Lord

25

: 00:01:07

oh energy

26

: 00:01:07

the Lord kindly engage me loving service to you

27

: 00:01:10

so you know we can find little ways with

28

: 00:01:13

sometimes if we're not at a very elevated place

29

: 00:01:17

you know

30

: 00:01:17

there's many people doing better work than we are

31

: 00:01:19

but even when we're on the beach

32

: 00:01:21

we can pick up some plastic

33

: 00:01:23

this helps the other creatures Mother Earth

34

: 00:01:27

Bumi Davy great devotee of god and a great personality

35

: 00:01:31

and as any parent knows

36

: 00:01:33

if someone's really kind to your child

37

: 00:01:35

or they're your brother or sister

38

: 00:01:37

makes you happy

39

: 00:01:38

so it's really a good idea to take nice care of mother

40

: 00:01:44

Bumi

41

: 00:01:46

Gaia Gaia if you wanna call her like yeah

42

: 00:01:48

Mother Earth

43

: 00:01:50

wherever he goes

44

: 00:01:52

he always has a little pack or a sack little satchel

45

: 00:01:57

a little bag collecting garbage everywhere

46

: 00:02:00

so in the beginning I was a little bit irritated

47

: 00:02:04

what is he doing touching all this dirty stuff

48

: 00:02:08

I do wash my hands after but yeah

49

: 00:02:10

but uh actually it's

50

: 00:02:13

I'm proud of you doing this wherever you go

51

: 00:02:16

and it's fun and it's really real

52

: 00:02:19

when he says

53

: 00:02:21

we're leaving a place better than we found it

54

: 00:02:23

we're trying to we're attempting to leave every person

55

: 00:02:25

place or pursuit better than we found it

56

: 00:02:28

so add a little support a little give a little

57

: 00:02:32

one thing I can do is for my back

58

: 00:04:43

and

115

: 00:04:48

and we're playing in the sand playing in the sand

116

: 00:04:51

I love finding I've I found a very inexpensive souvenir

117

: 00:04:56

you know it's uh

118

: 00:04:57

it's not illegal to take

119

: 00:04:59

take a little beach rock with you

120

: 00:05:00

in some places you know

121

: 00:05:01

you can't take archaeological stones

122

: 00:05:03

you gotta leave them where they are this but this oh

123

: 00:05:06

you found a shell and I found a I'm a beach comber

124

: 00:05:09

we we love combing the beach we pick up sticks

125

: 00:05:12

you know so nice yeah

126

: 00:05:15

and we leave footprints in the sand

127

: 00:05:16

and they get washed away

128

: 00:05:17

so we're not buying Rolexes or yeah

129

: 00:05:19

there's no crypto Lambo stuff for us

130

: 00:05:22

no ha ha ha

131

: 00:05:23

we don't want them Lambo

132

: 00:05:25

Lamborghinis are actually with all respect

133

: 00:05:27

I mean what a company

134

: 00:05:28

I love their toasters

135

: 00:05:29

the Delonghi or there's a Lamborghini

136

: 00:05:33

well that's the long he's another one

137

: 00:05:34

but anyway I'd rather have a Lamborghini

138

: 00:05:36

toaster than a Lamborghini car

139

: 00:05:38

ha ha ha

140

: 00:05:39

I don't have a car that's it's a very liberating

141

: 00:05:42

but thankfully Maria has a pretty cool band so

142

: 00:05:47

we'll keep it for a while yeah

143

: 00:05:50

so if you can bring a little

144

: 00:05:52

bring a little bag with you

145

: 00:05:53

the next time you go for a walk in your neighborhood

146

: 00:05:54

and I circumambulate

147

: 00:05:56

and if I see any little bit of garbage

148

: 00:05:58

I pick it up it's yeah wherever we park

149

: 00:06:02

yeah remember

150

: 00:06:03

wherever between heaven and earth

151

: 00:06:04

everywhere is sacred everywhere is holy

152

: 00:06:06

so let's just try to treat it more that way every day

153

: 00:06:08

a little better and thanks to all the inspirations

154

: 00:06:11

out there

155

156

: 00:06:14

whether it's cleaning up trash in the ocean

157

: 00:06:16

or we're climbing to Everest to like

158

: 00:06:19

clean up all the waste from all those climbers

159

: 00:06:21

you know like and it's a good time to in this age

160

: 00:06:25

it's a good time to rethink and repurpose

161

: 00:06:28

where we get our joy from

162

: 00:06:30

how we what we consume and what

163

: 00:06:32

164

: 00:06:34

who we associate with and
