How to Save an Island

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2018
- Belize! I went on vacation to an island paradise with some friends, but of course couldn't help but make an episode.
It's another video without Francesco, but luckily this time I had the help of some high school students: Preston Smith and Aldair Rosato. Thanks, guys! I appreciate you joining me on this mini-adventure.

I've been unable to find Aldair's channel, but I'll fire him an email and update when I know.
The music for this video was graciously provided by Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com. It is Creative Commons, and he is no doubt unaware we're using it, but hey. I still think he's great for letting it happen.

Thanks for watching! You're clearly one of the good ones.

Okay, being so fucking early I just wanna say that Rare Earth as a channel completely changed my view on some things and inspired me to think of stuff I probably wouldn't ever have paid attention to. Thanks for doing what you're doing Evan, your work is amazing and starting to watch this channel was a great decision.
I agree with everything you wrote.
kostaurus As do I
I concur
You are spot on.
I do too, I think Rare Earth's mobility and size allows them to give a way more accurate and passionate depiction of wherever they are and it totally shows
When the Main Stream Media went from traveling news reporters and corespondents to following tweets, this was lost. I'm so glad Rare Earth is here to give us glimpses of the world and show us, most people are like each other. Passionate about what they hold dear, opinionated, flawed, and trying to do better where they are.
I went to Caye Caulker 4 years ago... it warms my heart to hear its still doing well. When I went, it was with a bunch of other tourists, most of them strangers. I didn't feel comfortable enough to really engage and enjoy the locals and location, while being forced to stick with my tour group. But seeing it all again through this screen... it brings to mind how much I actually liked my time there. My issues stemmed from my tour group, not the island, and I'm glad I get to see it again here.
"The younger generation sucks."
- Every older generation since the beginning of time.
Someday our generation will hate the young people too.
@@LEFT4BASS Since the first Amoeba split.
Not true. It's like people 5000 years ago lived the same lives as their ancestors did 10000 and even 100000 years ago. Now of course everything changes at a breakneck speed and every new generation faces new challenges that nobody before them could have imagined. Even 1000 years ago, when tech and population growth were more or less at a stationary phase, a few generations could have lived in the same conditions, but now... forget it.
My point is that the trend that every generation is so much different from their predecessors is a SUPER resent development.
@@anatolyrozhkov851 - Not really. I get the point you're trying to make, but human anthropology almost definitively shows all the hallmarks of this in virtually every society since Sumer. It even happens on a fairly predictable basis in which some major changes appear to cycle every 20 years, another type of cycle every 40-60, etc. Even up to the 400 year cycles that some conspiracy theorists run with. Societies seem to run on a cyclical nature of rebound and response with some being driven by the various age ranges that intermingle within it. It's why we often see simple things like fashion and political zest going in and out fashion. These are oftentimes tangentially connected to the deeper whims echoing over those greater timescales.
@@anatolyrozhkov851 "Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers."

I spent a night on that island and I look forward to going back, I am going to reach out to the school to see how I can help them, I am prepared for a long term assignment.
Great job Preston and Aldair! The video was awesome! Keep it up!
And thanks to all the Joanies and Heidis out there. Mine go by different names, but they were no less foundational in shaping my life. By no fault of their own, my family was ill-equipped to support me in pursuing what I was passionate about. The Joanies and Heidis were the ones that helped me have a fighting chance and make it happen. From the more inspirational teachings to the less sexy but crucial "technical" aspects of navigating the world, they're the ones that nudged me forward. I owe them more than I'll ever be able to repay. It may be just a drop in the water and may not seem like much in comparison to lofty ideals like "changing the world" or "leaving the world a better place", but they certainly changed me and made my life better. For that I am grateful.
And of course, thanks to the ever-courageous ugly-shirt-wearing master of puns (you better belize it...that takes some serious balls to put that one out there!^^) for the great content. TH-cam is certainly a better place with you on it.
"ugly shirt" I have NEVER seen Evan where an ugly shirt. I've complimented his shirt taste on multiple videos.
+Ned Gold Did you read the credits at the end? ;-)
PeRK Haha I posted the comment before I had
I've often wondered if parents aren't teaching their children the things that they used to, nowadays, and if it's having a negative effect. Not just things like, you know, The Talk. More important that, things school (new mom and dad) don't teach nearly as well, like how to take care of yourself after school, how to learn on your own, how to even meet people eye to eye and have a conversation. I wasn't taught these things, and had to figure them out years later, and to a degree I blame the loud busy-ness of more modern times keeping everyone too distracted.
Food for thought.
I think it's also important to note how much more our generation has to work because of how little money we make compared to the cost of living. It's a lot easier to be charitable when you don't live below the poverty line, and no one I know lives above it. I don't think anyone would expect someone to volunteer 10 hours of their time each week when they are already working 40 hours a week to support themselves and going to school full time as well. Older generations love to look down on us for the lot in life that their generation pushed on us.
It feels wierd hearing my name repeated in a TH-cam video, it's not that common anymore. Awesome video🖒
:-)

Funny how popularity of name's change over time. I don't know whether Heidi was all that popular when I was a kid, but certainly not all that rare. Heck, Helen and Ellen were very popular, but no longer. My own name, Steven, was super popular, but now I saw it at 100 of the top 100, so not rare but not nearly as popular.
Thanks for being, Heidi
Thank you for showing the world in different light's
This channel is so much better than most of the stuff you see on TV.
Wow! What a great piece, and on vacation no less! I'm really impressed with the whole story and the twist towards the end (the camera work being done by two Ocean Academy students) was terrific.
I'm guessing you got one or two (or three) questions from your apprentice cameramen about making documentary videos . . . :)
It's obvious that these dedicated teachers know exactly what they need to do to provide the students with the education that they need, not just tick the boxes on some bureaucratic list of requirements. I hope this piece generates a bit of support for the Academy.
As long as there are people like Heidi and Joanie and their students (as well as yourself to educate us about them) there is hope for this world.
Excellent work as always. This is becoming my favorite channel, these videos are consistently well made and very interesting, a difficult feat. I applaud you.
You better get that channel man!
Loved the vid, never thought Belice could be like that
Another prejudice down the hole for me, keep on guys!
Rare Earth is always the shizzle
Hey Evan! You mentioned you did 'talks' and what not in the US. I tried googling speaking tour but could only find your dad haha. I'd love to meet you in real life if ever given the opportunity, you've made great videos that have changed how I see the world. So if possible, please link me to your tour schedule if you have one
LargeBilledDuck I don't do tours, I give talks individually, and thus far entirely in my home country (Canada). We also put on a stage show every year in Toronto called Generator which I host (Nov 15th). Might be a good time to visit our fair city. :)
As the saying goes, "It's not work if you're doing what you love." I probably would have never known that the places in your videos exist, if not for your videos. Your videos don't make make me feel like I'm being "talked at". They make people feel like they're the camera, listening to our friend Evan as he talks about a place or an idea, or an obscure piece of history or culture.
About the "mic issues", as long as they're audible and can be understood pretty clearly, maybe leave the audio as is. To me, it makes the interviews more "real", like the viewer is sitting across the table from them, having a person to person conversation.
Thank you to all the people behind Rare Earth. You all are awesome.
A fantastic programme an innovative private academy to self-finance itself through business mini projects for the students. Plus they learn new business skills along the way. What a great concept!
I love your philosophical spin on storytelling, and the untold stories you bring to light. Most of all, I love that watching your videos helps me remember that mankind is not all that bad
Heidi,
You are the example....
The hardest things,
The things that you work the hardest for...
Have the most value.
Amazing, as usual. Thank you for revealing so much to me about our amazing earth.
By far one of my favorite series on TH-cam; love your stories
Keep up the good work Evan ^_^. Every single one of these episodes are super interesting but also quite inspiring. Greetings from Sweden.
I love what your doing here . i'm always looking forward to each episode . love the videos
Great video just like the whole channel. Keep it that way
honestly this shows gives u hope there are still good people out there.
I really like your videos. Sooting voice, articulated and without «you know», «like» in every sentence. Educational!👍
OMG you’re getting stories from Central America now YES! thanks for the great stories as always
I need to remember to come back and check for Aldair’s channel.
still not here RIP
Aaaaand still not here. :|
Wow what a beautiful story. Best channel on TH-cam!
You are youtube's BBC without the political agenda. That's a compliment, by the way.
What is bbc´s agenda?
What sort of agenda does BBC have dude. If any it’s that “they’re British”.
If you think he doesn't have any political agenda, you aren't paying attention.
This was really sweet, thanks Preston and Aldair!
Great as always. I feel that giving something to the world, helping people in general, is just something most people should strive to do. It just feels fantastic and its obviously not only good for yourself. I only feel that there's too little opportunities seen by the vast majority of people to actually do something useful and rewarding. Also most volunteer systems require you to actually pay for helping, which just makes no sense at all. I understand its voluntary but still... I totally understand not getting paid, but thats just a sign that those "charities" want your money... (talking about specific ones)
I see the brilliance and passion of young people trying to make the world a better, more just, place. But it isn't in the old stream media, from which I am now totally divorced, but in their refusal to work for companies who are polluters or have problems with workplace quality or bad environmental policies. It is slower than we would like, but companies are having to change because they can't get good workers because good workers are placing a higher value on personal fulfillment and social justice.
Wow man, i really appreciate your channel. You actually went to my country. you should have tried to travel inland. keep up the good work, hope you can dive deeper into some issues in my country.
That was great. I'd love to hear you talk Evan. I'll have to sort that out one day.
Beautiful man!
Interesting approach to education, through experience. Good video
The desks and chairs are so nice, as is the rest of the school! I wish my school was that nice
Brilliant. Sharing now!
Can't believe this guy doesn't get millions of views. You gonna blow up soon
the video you made not about the guy who hated filming crew, really makes me look differently pretty much every video i watch. including this one for sure she mean good and says so but does she... probably, but i stopped i and took time to think about it and that is why i said probably.
i think that man i never saw really changed my perspective on "wild" "raw" videos.
thank you and all your team
This video was great and keep it up
Awesome work
Amazing people!
In 2006, when I decided to 'give back' to the next generation, my income dropped by 80% and my free time vanished by the same percentage. Nonetheless, over the next ten years, I made a difference... outreach talks to the elderly, teaching grad students about the moons of Mars, mentoring kids on how to build their own spacecraft (launching tomorrow morning BTW) -- and lots on how to design and market innovative and genuinely beneficial products. But as much I felt a sense of hope for individuals under my wing -- after nearly a dozen years, I came to see less and less hope for humanity as a whole. I still 'give back' -- but not so much anymore. I still care. But for the sake for my sanity, I finally accept that making the world a better place is an exhausting process with little more than fleeting results.
Would love to go back and do something like this!
beautiful
May i please know the name or have a link to the background music? Also AMAZING work. keep it up teaching in such a calm but interesting way: i hope you keep making videos and educating for years to come.:3 ^^
Every video tells such a unique story and I love that! Great job!
Also, what background music do you use?
Reya he mentions the music in the description. Cheers
So where's the link to his channel?
Lars I am waiting for him to send it. I spent two hours looking and couldn't find it this morning. I'll put it up when I have it.
Gotta get that channel!!!
I found Heidi Curry's channel
th-cam.com/channels/y2nj8-oZsBy696FMTer_tA.html
A nice video with the students by Danny Michel
th-cam.com/video/k-FEVVxNeRk/w-d-xo.html
And several others, but I couldn't find anything by Aldair Rosato.
Start churning out those videos, Aldair, you have a good eye, share what you see.
Fallowed Heidi. She needs more subs though. Would be nice of y'all. Still couldn't get Aldair's though?
Hi there, may I just give a little feedback that your recent videos are softer than what they used to have been(like those of the Japan series). I think everyone else would agree? Kudos to your effort in putting up videos of top quality content though! Cheers!
Dickson Huang We aim to tell the opposite of the common stereotype. People have Disney views of Japan, so we show harder side of life. People have negative views of Central America, so we show positive. It isn't a hard and fast rule, but it might explain why on a vacation I made a video that was softer. Given my last video was a diatribe on Guantanamo detention centre, I'd say it is hard to argue it is a common thing.
Haha love the shirt
Life is awesome
thank you
Have you ever considered doing podcast versions? I'm not sure about the viability but I enjoy listening to them, and it could make them more accessible?
This channel is my dream job
I love your videos. Do you think you'll visit Jamaica some day?
If you're looking for good noise reduction software iZotope RX is what you want! It's pretty much photoshop for audio, it's great. It is stupidly expensive but they let you have a month free trial and it's definitely worth trying it out.
As youre walking down the path and seeing the palms, I'm thinking that that plant has existed longer than all of us and designed to accept high, fast winds.
its hard to watch your channel because every episode is so interesting
I hope the education e get from your videos trickles down too :)
You better Belize I wan't to go there and get one of those shirts :)
woaw
Nice vid
Is the name of Adair's TH-cam channel Romeo 1?
I couldn't understand what he said and it didn't show up on my subtitles.
Does anyone know?
My understanding is that he didn't actually have a channel but wanted to make an impression
The Instagram link doesn't seem to work for me..?
So he says his channel name at 15:15, but I've spent awhile trying to figure it out without much luck, lol. I get something like "Ro-Me are number one," which I assume is something like part of his name, "Ro," and another's. RoPre didn't find anything for me.
Any luck with this? I'd like to see his channel.

See, now I wanna move to Caye Caulker and work for that school
I was in caye caulker 2 weeks ago!!
This is my dream right there...
Wanna know why the new generation isn't as charitable? Because we don't have any money for ourselves, let alone to give to others!
Not referring to anyone specifically, but I find that many people that say they don't have money, don't have money because they spent it all, not because they are poor. Plenty of money for liquor and eating out, but no time or money to help any causes. Have been volunteering a lot these last years and I had to go without things myself, but was able to help others with their future. We all have different perspectives and goals. Having a bigger purpose was helpful for me to find a better balance in life.
@@shanetalmage1661 where did i ask
But where's the link to his channel, though! ;-)
Any plans to make it to Sault Ste Marie, ON?
Not at present, but that doesn't mean it won't crop up.
7:29 Yeah, I bet "Swallow Cave" is a wild-life sanctuary!! What's the cave's real name... Stacy?!
I'm guessing she brings friends from time to time; you can't form a sanctuary with just one person, that's no fun!
Agreed.
Was why vida gams be so popular
im 37 and seeing this around me is so sad we are close to the end but were to focused on our cell phones to notice...
Any update on Aldair's channel?
Where is Aldair's channel?
where’s the link to the kid’s youtube? don’t see it in the description.
He never really ended up making one.
That dog has my name!
A lot of effort goes into raising a successful person.
Find Aldair's channel! We need to get him those subs!
This is fucking amazing
It would be great to see a video about Ireland, there was some real moral conflict that happened in the North with sectarian killings.
I'm suprised people are still moving there considering how close the island is from being erased.
holy shit i heard Belize and thought thats funny I'm a Canadian kid on vacation in Belize right now then i saw the welcome to Caye caulker sign and was like wtf thats like he smallest island in Belize and I'm on it i just found this video through rare earth so weird
We also can't be afraid to let younger generations volunteer! It's almost impossible for a young person (under 16) to volunteer due to concerns over litigation.
Title shift?

Wait what was that about the astronaut? That is a very specific job. Is your dad Chris?
Yes. Click the 'video' button and scroll down to the first episode -- you'll see them together talking about their hopes for the series.
Thanks. If enough people believe they are part of the same great thing, they *_will_* be. Rikki Tikki.
I want to get more people to see this.
where is your patreon?
X Y I haven't made one yet. I don't have time to upkeep it at the moment. For the time being I just highlight charities and send people toward them.
6:37 A bicycle tour...? Hope you didn't bring a friend, because there's only 1 bike.
I checked TH-cam for aldair rosato, no joy 8-(
you should really learn to filter audio, serch for a high frecuancy filter that gets ridd of the fizzy noise.

This school is better than mine even though they have more than half the budget.
