In response to Copenhagen climate summit in disarray after 'Danish text' leak:


Anyone who thinks in ways to separate and rule the world, and put some groups of people above others is someone working against life, against his own life, his children, all the living creatures on this planet, all the plants everything that will and is directly affected and vulnerable to climate change. Such behavior is against human rights, it's against civilization and evolution, and by law punishable!


I think we should stop putting the power in the hands of the few. This planet is not ours we belong to the planet, nature is not to enrich us, we are born from nature, she is our mother, we owe it to our children, and grand children, we owe it to the future of our race. This is not about making a profit now!
NATURE DOESN'T GIVE BAILOUTS!

NATURE DOESN'T GIVE BAILOUTS!
NATURE DOESN'T GIVE BAILOUTS!
NATURE DOESN'T GIVE BAILOUTS!

A confidential analysis of the text by developing countries also seen by the Guardian shows deep unease over details of the text. In particular, it is understood to:


• Force developing countries to agree to specific emission cuts and measures that were not part of the original UN agreement;


• Divide poor countries further by creating a new category of developing countries called "the most vulnerable";


• Weaken the UN's role in handling climate finance;


• Not allow poor countries to emit more than 1.44 tonnes of carbon per person by 2050, while allowing rich countries to emit 2.67 tonnes.


Developing countries that have seen the text are understood to be furious that it is being promoted by rich countries without their knowledge and without discussion in the negotiations.



"It is being done in secret. Clearly the intention is to get [Barack] Obama and the leaders of other rich countries to muscle it through when they arrive next week. It effectively is the end of the UN process," said one diplomat, who asked to remain nameless.

One article about Zac Goldsmith - that I reluctantly share ...


This is the excerpt I find mostly disturbing:

But if the author is the multi-millionaire son of Britain's most notorious buccaneering playboy, with the nation fascinated to see if he will turn out like his father...


Here's a link to the article.

In any case, his book is promising some thought provoking!

Great Resource for Business Ideas (especially if based in US) and Inspiration (around the world)


Thought I'd share. To view click on the image above!

London's Farmer's Markets

I never like to throw some useful information - I just found a leaflet for the London's Farmers Market Association. The New market was in Brixton.

Local markets are an important addition to sustainable living, and a very delicious one too!

Here is a link to London's markets.

And a few words about another eco warrior - Tamsin Omond



Tamsin has been - according to my observation a very active and inspirational figure among the environmentalists. I first heard of her at Climate Camp 2008 - near Kings North. It was at the 100th anniversary of the suffragettes in October 2008 (also marking my first face-to-face encounter with the Police outside the Parliament), when I first met her in person. Even now, Tamsin hasn't stopped to inspire and achieve - her actions with Climate Rush has managed to create a proper buzz around the issues of climate change.
I am now happy to announce that her Book Rush! has just came out:
