No Impact Man: When the lights go out…Gulp! - 0 views

  • As for lighting, strategically placed candles with mirrors behind them shine more brightly than people give them credit for.
  • A suggestion for those who find it financially difficult to be green. Search in your areas for Trade and Barter organizations. I'm sure most big cities have them. But you don't have to join a group, but people you know that you can barter with. I have done this before, traded my time with a friend who is a carpenter who builds energy efficient off-grid homes. It saved me a lot of money. Everyone has a skill they can trade. You can still be green even if you have a low-income. I've managed to do it, and having a low-income has taught me to be responsible with money. Grow your own food, or find someone who has a space you can start a garden. I live in a bachelor suite and grow culinary herbs, and baby lettuce, romaine, spinach. Also grow sprouts in jars. There is lots of info on the net about sprout growing.

  • South Africa repeats the pattern of Iraq and of Afghanistan, where new laws prohibit farmers to save or trade their own seeds.
  • The Oil-for-Food program in Iraq forced the large-scale importation of food after the first Gulf War. Devastated Iraqi farmers then became the victims of USAID.
  • Under US occupation, Iraqi farmers must pay a “technology fee” plus an annual license fee to agribusinesses supplying the seeds and equipment. Similar policies exist in Afghanistan
  • “The war provides these corporations with both a lucrative short-term market in the blossoming “reconstruction” industry and an opportunity to integrate Afghanistan into their global production networks and markets in the long term.”

tobeGoodPeople.com - Commitment to be Good People Site - 0 views

  •  
    the first site which established the idea of be good people all over the world. This site is made to ask as many people as possible to make such a commitment to be good people by showing their profile. The main difference compare to the other "social-purposed sites", is that this site is more likely to push the people to be "good people" with the better consequence effects in their real life - not only online.\nWe hope by joining this site, people are expected to postpone their 'evil side' at least 5min, an hour, a day, even more as long as they can. So, if you think you're good enough, prove it here.

  • Finally the apocalyptic tone sometimes used in attempts to drive a message home can further hinder the case for constructive action. Too often, it promotes either cynicism or apathy among those who cannot relate these disaster scenarios to their own personal experience.
  • he issues scientists think most important often seem abstract and far removed from the day-to-day concerns of ordinary people
  • sloppy scientific reasoning can have a broad and lasting impact
  • embed this scientific evidence into viable but sustainable economic growth and development strategies
