CURRENT EVENTS AGAIN - OUR HEAVY FOOTPRINT

WE WILL BE KNOWN FOREVER BY THE TRACKS WE LEAVE

1990
One Summer In the 1990's, we carried signs to Seneca New york - 2000 women from all over the world -  One sign read: "Loving arms, not nuclear arms".  Women camped out in the fields, or took up residence in the farmhouse, and thousands more visited, taking part in various actions, for the purpose of alerting the town that their water source was on the grounds of the Seneca Army depot which had stored spent nuclear fuel from World War two - the containers were leaking!  There were anti-nuclear focused protests all over the world that summer, and a historic march flooded the streets of New York City, culminating at the United Nations.  Some of us carried books by Joanna Macy in our backpacks. I just unearthed her site.  Have a look.  She is an inspired and inspiring woman still, whose focus is healing the planet one person at a time. www.joannamacy.net/

WHEN A MAN WALKS AWAY FROM NATURE HIS HEART BECOMES HARD

 2005

 

(Natural Science 202 for Proffesor Hammer by Alex Williams)

Our demands on the resources that earth has to offer have become overwhelming. Our population has grown exponentially and with it so have our needs. The industrial revolution has lead to greenhouse gas buildup, increased habitat fragmentation, deforestation, and water use. The U.S footprint is 9.4 global hectares as of 2005. Earth can only sustain life at 1.4 global hectares per capita!  We are in severe breach of this limit. Our lifestyles of extravagance and heavy consumerism are negatively impacting the planet. We must reconsider the way we live in an effort to save the planet and the species we share it with.

IF A MAN IS AS WISE AS A SNAKE HE CAN AFFORD TO BE AS GENTLE AS A DOVE
2012

For Japan and for the world, the time is at hand.

I mean nothing biblical, only that it is obvious the major shifting of earth's climate is more than an indicator at this point, more like a consequence when you add all the disasters of the decade so far.  neither burning fossil fuels, nor dependence on nuclear power will take us very far into the future.  Like all addicts, we are unable to quit.

THERE IS A THIRD EXPLOSION AT JAPANESE PLANT

However 
The Nuclear Energy Institute

an industry trade group,
says it would be "premature to draw conclusions from the tragedy in Japan
about the U.S. nuclear energy program."
