Canada is an arch environmental vandal and it is no surprise it wants to exit the Kyoto agreement.

The moonscape and polluted waterways, decimated forests and all of the flow on effects from the Tar Sands disaster show a Government that needs hauled before the World Courts. They have systematically ridden roughshod too over minority indigenous rights.

I say turn the heat up on Canada - their attitude will see the Polar region sacrificed very soon as well.

A must see

This is a sobering reminder of what mankind is doing to our nest - and we all contribute directly or indirectly!
Sobering

Sobering to see the energy required for a rapidly rising population.

Great to see how we can, collectively, add pressure on the big companies to deny the vandals and the nasties of this World, a market for their, often, ill-gotten gain.

These paper manufacturers and palm oil barons have been wrecking much of our outstanding tropical rainforest.

It's how YOU and your buying decisions can have an effect. Make it happen folks.

The Amazon , its people, its ecology, its wildlife needs our joint effort.
We are losing the natural lungs of our World.
Too many just sit on the sidelines, disinterested.

Interesting article.

It is clear the supposed financial "collapse" is yet another manifestation of the rich robbing the savings and assets of the working "middle classes". It is a way the mega-rich can keep some exclusivity by curbing and containing the predominant "middle class".

The "working class' will pay through more blood,sweat and tears, the "middle class" will see themselves "sliding down the rungs of the ladder" while, apart from a relative few in the "mega-rich" , those with obscene wealth will continue to see their incomes spiral ever skyward.

Sadly, it's a game that makes our economic system a farce and an increasingly unjust World a woeful result. Maybe it's time to rebel!

The loss of prime soils is a Worldwide disaster. With our cities largely sited on rich river plains we continue to sprawl over the best soils we have on Earth. All this at a time when we have a rapidly rising Worldwide population.

We deplete our best soils, we rape and pillage our oceans, etc - what of future generations?

We need to stop this destruction - now!
