Text of the page (random words):
dely reported there s more the food mcdonald s hiss spit official partner of the games have pledged to use only british chickens but what about the beef and the fish and in any case come on mcdonald s the unhealthiest food in the world being officially supplied at a major global sports event someone had a sarcastic sense of humour there the environmental impact the london games are supposed to be the greenest ever uk officialdom wants the london games to be an environmental showcase and wants us to believe that the environment won t be touched at all by these games but nobody can tell me that there has been no major environmental impact it s not possible i can t even be bothered going into detail i ve gone on enough and i d be stating the bleeding obvious anyway to sum up basically they ve sold us a tale of turning the nation into health and fitness fanatics but does anyone really believe that people will get off their backsides en masse and get jogging because they been so inspired by nine minute sprinters or record holding marathon runners no we will all watch the games from the comfort of our lounges or if we re lucky from a seat in the stadium and then we ll forget about it and i m sure all those super duper sports facilities that they say the citizens will inherit really will be fantastic if you can afford the membership fees sure there will be economic benefits but they will be short term and there s little evidence to say that these benefits actually reach those most in need and much historical evidence to say that existing entrepreneurial types and wealthy stakeholders usually reap the most of the rewards they say that tourism will benefit and yes if the games were to be held in backendofnowhere i m sure that many ordinary citizens would greatly benefit from increased tourism or perhaps not depending on your view but you get the point but the games are always held in major cities eg london tourism is london s biggest industry and it s booming so where will the added value come from it s so small it s more likely to cause greater pressure and utter turmoil the misrepresentation the myths the corporate spin the total greenwash folks the social and environmental impacts of the games are considerable the olympic legacy is not all rosy but is in fact pretty much all fallacy it certainly does not result in all round sustainable urban facelifts or jobs for life or booming economies so whose boycotting the games then 5 apr tree people we need you now posted by earthie in climate change humanity moments mother earth news offload politics 2 comments it seems that our unmandated government really has it in for our forests they have thus far failed to slip through a bill that would allow them to sell our woodlands to private firms who would subsequently turn them into a profit making commodity so now they re going to revise planning laws making it easier for developers to well develop on them if we are to believe our government snigger these proposed new planning policies will have no impact on our green and pleasant land but their promises will soon be put to the test according this article in today s guardian the writer tells us that oaken wood in kent is potentially at risk due to an application for a quarry extension and this highlights some serious concerns from the article at stake under a single application for the extension of an existing quarry is 32 hectares of ancient woodland home to rare lady orchids firecrests and nightingales under pressure from conservation groups including the woodland trust and thanks to the efforts of local campaigners eric pickles local government secretary called in the controversial application in july last year it is scheduled to go to public inquiry in november today ancient woodland covers just 2 7 of england and is home to more wildlife of conservation concern than any other terrestrial habitat these woods are irreplaceable and require protection for goodness sake folks you heard him we don t have much ancient woodland left in england and when it s gone it s gone our woodlands are important on so many levels it s hard to know where to start but to paraphrase earl attlee when asked what plans they had to improve ancient woodland protection in the final version of the national planning policy framework he said it s not possible to put an economic value on ancient woodland because it is irreplaceable it all takes me back to a time many moons ago when i camped out in a beautiful ancient woodland with a bunch of tree hugging eco warriors in an effort to stop it from being bulldozed to make way for the m65 well i say camped out taking food drinks and blankets each day to the protesters and generally playing a supportive role would be closer to the truth but hey i was there with the likes of swampy suitably clad in wellies camouflage trousers and an attitude the protesters weren t all stereotypical tree huggers with dreadlocks and doc martens but they became known by the locals who mostly supported them it has to be said as the tree people and these guys were fantastic they were radical and inventive and totally committed they d lived in those self built tree houses for months and they were determined not to give way the stakes were high and their determination was downright heroic they constructed a woodland network of ropes and tree top walkways so that they were all connected making it very difficult for the axe men to chop even one tree down without risking the life of a protester as non violent resisters they suffered many injuries at the hands of the burly security men but they never gave up at one point militant me had a very heated debate with the sheriff of somewhere or other probably not nottingham but being the mardy pants that i am i backed off when two large grumpy looking policemen started to walk towards me with intent yep i was passionately proactive and i really believed in the cause but those coppers looked big and mean and there d already been several arrests anyhoo needless to say we were unsuccessful in our efforts the inevitable forced eviction took place and those yellow hats stood smugly by as the activists were dragged ruthlessly from the their tree houses subsequently and very sadly the beautiful woodland where deer used to roam and wildflowers grew freely was razed to the ground and now a dirty great big concrete motorway sits in its place i might have turned into little more than a keyboard warrior since then but i ll tell you this folks if our few remaining woodlands are put under serious threat of demolition because of these proposals i will get off my lazy arse i will reclaim my activism mojo i will tie myself to a tree and i won t budge until those bloody useless self serving arrogant set of nobs in government do something positive and permanent to protect our magnificent and vitally vitally important woodlands i kid you not 21 mar fur coats eco friendly posted by earthie in environment moments mother earth news 5 comments fur coats eco friendly an advert saying that fur is eco friendly has been banned by an advertising watchdog because it says the ad is misleading the fur breeders claim that because the fur is a natural product that lasts a lifetime and is biodegradable they can promote their products as eco friendly completely misleading for starters the chemicals they treat the fur with to preserve and protect it cancel out any eco benefits they claim exist then there s the environmental damage caused by their farming methods that make their products far from carbon neutral not to mention the number of animals that the re taking out of the eco system to kill and profit from but apart from that the fur farmers say that a fur coat will last up to thirty years but can you imagine how matted and manky it would be after being worn by a human for so long anyway most people who wear fur wouldn t keep a fashion item for that long they d be onto the next design within a year or two and last year s furry accessory would be discarded without another thought nice try i ll give them that 28 oct of food and the

sorry i tried and tried to come up with a clever rhyming soundbite but nothing worked and that s why i m a demonised economy crushing public sector worker and not a high flying over paid writer of cheesy soundbites anyway did you know or care that 2011 is the international year of the forest as declared by none other than the un well it is and we should care i do love forests i find them mystical and awesome and i can t think of anything more fun than losing myself in one well that s not quite true i m not snow white and there would be no bambi or thumper rushing to my aid if i got lost in one i m more like red riding hood with her bad friendship choices and dodgy hoodies but they are enchanting places to explore i spent many an idle childhood hour in the woods building imaginary tree houses or making endless daisy chains or i d be chasing faeries and hunting for witches the imagination at its unburdened best and not an xbox or ipod in sight sigh anyway enough of the wistfulness the good guys at wwf have a campaign running which asks the question if you knew where your wood came from what wood you choose facts are that approximately 1 5 million cubic metres of illegal timber and wood products are imported into the uk every year and it doesn t need me to tell you that these statistics have a significantly detrimental impact on forests species habitats and wildlife and it threatens the livelihoods of people from some of the worlds poorest communities most people are aware of the fair trade campaign and no one can argue that buying our food ethically whenever we can is beneficial and good but we seem not to think as much about where our non food items are sourced everyday items such as paper and loo roll not forgetting bigger things such as decking flooring and furniture basically illegal logging is having a devastating effect on people and wildlife and is contributing to the decline of endgangered species while we continue to buy products that have been illegally sourced the deforestation destruction and exploitation will continue as wwf states you don t have to stop buying timber products wood that has been harvested and managed responsibly is a renewable and sustainable resource that can help support the forests the wildlife and the communities that depend on them all we need to do is look for the fsc logo on the product we are buying simple as that click the logos for more info 28 may amnesty fifty years today posted by earthie in celebrating lives humanity moments 6 comments peter benenson founder of amnesty

appalling piece of news the home office wants to deport a severely disabled five year old girl brief background she is half blind has epilepsy and quadraplegic cerebral palsy she came to the uk from algeria on a six month visa to give her mother a break and seek treatment for her condition but because of the seriousness of her condition she was allowed to extend her stay in order to receive further treatment she has been staying with her aunt and uncle who apparently want to adopt her now i don t know the circumstances regarding her birth parents but i do know there is still a lot of stigma attached to epilepsy in algeria so although we can all speculate t is sufficeth to say mothers will do anything to protect their child the little girl is doing really well in our compassionate country and we should be proud of that she has overcome many difficulties and is responding well to treatment and she is attending mainstream school which is remarkable in itself her family here are dedicated to her but if she is sent back to her home country there is a very real possibility that she will not survive i know the morally challenged hard faces at the daily fail and readers thereof will be sneering and accusing her family of nothing more than trying to get free nhs treatment but even if that s true so what so bloody what again what loving parent wouldn t move mountains to improve the quality of their child s life basically not only is the poor girl fighting a life threatening condition but she is now facing deportation to a country that a doesn t have the means to treat her condition and b still widely believes that epileptic fits are caused by demonic possession deporting this child would be cruel and shameful and the stupidly frustrating thing is it s just not necessary please sign the petition here and urge the dreadful theresa may to reconsider her ruthless decision to deport little rania 23 may no one is illegal posted by earthie in humanity politics

family because that way there s a tiny teeny chance that i ll get at least one thing that i want not that i m bitter or anything anyway these kindle things they re popping up in more and more places every time i go into the rest room at work i see yet another colleague with lunch in one hand kindle in the other and at swimming club the bloke who sits next to me has one my friend bought one recently too because she says they re great for taking on holiday and i have to say that s probably the biggest advantage it must be nice to read a book by the pool or on the beach without said book falling apart due to sand beer salt water tequila s sun cream ice cream wine etc getting all over it so book or kindle let s see convenience the holiday thing as mentioned above but at least you can share books i suspect that not many people would be prepared to lend out their kindles you finish one book on holiday and then you lend it to your friend sister whoever and they...
