WHAT IS AT STAKE

WHAT IS AT STAKE We live in an era and society where environmental ignorance prevails, yet we and every thing around us jointly make up the environment. As a result, what ever action or decision we make has an impact on the environment and consequently on mankind as a whole. Because of lack of environmental awareness or the failure to practice enviro-friendly principles, mankind today is faced with some major threats like global warming, draughts and floods. Considering the fact that humans can not survive without tempering with natural resources which are either fixed or not easily renewable, it is of utmost importance that we implement policies and practices that will ensure that we use resources in a way that will not endanger the ecosystem as well as ensure the continuity of nature’s bounty for posterity. The idea of environmental preservation and protection before now has always been regarded as a continent’s, a nation’s or a government’s affair but it is time we look at it as an individual matter because each and every decision we make affects the environment either positively or negatively. We should now start thinking of how we dispose of our waste, the kind of energy we use in cooking, our farming methods our means of transportation etc., because a collection of all these decisions have a very big role to play towards environmental balance and biodiversity enhancement. . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .THE ABOVE DECLARATION IS FROM THE AFRICAN COUNTRY OF CAMEROON . . . .WHERE A GROUP OF PEOPLE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN A WORLD-WIDE EVENT THIS COMING SATURDAY DECEMBER 8TH-2007 . . . .ALMOST EVERY NATION ON EARTH WILL TAKE PART . . . .IN TORONTO THERE WILL BE A RALLY . .MARCH . . .AND AN ECO-FAIR AT DUNDAS SQUARE,(YONGE AND DUNDAS) AT NOON (DEC 8) . . .BE THERE OR BE SQUARE !

NUCLEAR=WATER HOG

The Association is asserting that the nearby Plymouth-based nuclear power plant has created a “killing zone” in Cape Cod Bay that not only affects the future health of the Jones River and its native species but the health of a wide variety of aquatic species, large and small, and the food they depend on to survive. The Watershed Association and Pilgrim Watch have jointly written to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggesting that the plant’s owner – Entergy Corporation – should not have its license to operate the Pilgrim nuclear power plant extended unless and until it upgrades the facility’s water cooling system. That license expires later this year, and Entergy has been engaged in a license renewal process for more than six years. The Association and Pilgrim Watch assert that the plant’s cooling system – which uses seawater to maintain safe temperatures at the plant – is discharging harmful pollution and potentially impacting endangered species and their hab

tar sands protest,washington dc

post she wrote about visiting her native Alberta, where she saw the tar sands up close. She explains a bit about why this kind of individual outreach is so important: "A week after I visited the Canadian Tar Sands “to see for myself” what that area is all about, I received emails from several of my friends and colleagues, encouraging me to join them in Washington, DC for a "peaceful protest" against the proposed pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada to Texas… I am signed up for a Tar Sands protest at the White House in Washington, DC that has the potential to get the protesters arrested. Do I feel this cause is important enough to take these risks? YES I do. I hope my kids will be proud of me, and that it builds on my legacy and actions to try to raise awareness to the growing reality of climate change that is threatening my children’s future and mine. I want to WAKE UP my neighbors, friends, colleagues and total strangers by showing them that a mo

WALMART UN-PATRIOTIC

The battle between as the world's largest retailer and those who oppose it constructing a new store on the site of one of the Civil War's largest and most important battles continues. DCist music editor Amanda Mattos reports that a letter signed by some 250 scholars, from Ken Burns to David McCullough, puts Wal-Mart on notice: "The Wilderness is an indelible part of our history, its very ground hallowed by the American blood spilled there, and it cannot be moved." In December, the company prepared to submit an application for a special-use permit to construct a store on a portion of the battlefield, which is part of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park. As Mattos notes, the Battle of the Wilderness was the first battle between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. It cost 4,000 soldiers their lives and wounded 20,000 others and started the final push towards the end of the war. . . . . .IN SPITE OF THEIR SOMETIMES CHEAP PRICES WALMART DOES A LOT OF
