      I applaude the effort, but if they can't meat the deadlines they set for themselves more people are going to critisize the project.

  • It is unfair to expect the third world to make emissions reductionsIt is therefore unfair to expect the third world to make emissions reductions, especially considering that their development and consumption is for basic needs, while for the rich, it has moved on to luxury consumption and associated life styles.

  • great carvers - the master craftsmen
  • Carving used to be a tapu art, subject to the rules and laws of tapu. The pieces of wood falling aside as the carver worked were never thrown away, neither were they used for the cooking of food. Women were not permitted near the carvings. The history, traditions, language and religion of the Māori make up an integral part of the carving art. To the Māori, all things possess a spirit (wairua), and a mauri (life force).
  • Māori weaving was made from the New Zealand flax (phormium tenax). From the flax, baskets, floor mats, skirts and cloaks were and still are made. There are more than fifty different varieties of the New Zealand flax, and the Māori know the advantages of each type of flax for its respective use.

    My searcher solution. Handwashing is something so simple, but can save millions from disease. We have to look into why the government and health organizations are not pushing this!
