international / environment / news report Thursday February 01, 2007 22:06 by bright spark
I am so surprised that Ireland had no word or news of this action. & certainly it is late to encourage people to do their bit. But today from 18h55 to 19h00 GMT a "pan-European" attempt was made to bring public attention to Climate Change. The group responsible "amis de la Terre" based in France began internet networking and horizontal communication with their peers in France and certain other states of the EU. The Spanish state whose minister for Energy supported the call have now released details of how much energy was saved during the 5 minute "switch off" in the Spanish state. The reduction in consumption was an astounding 2.5%! http://www.ree.es/apps/home.asp read full story / add a comment

Most of us are happy if people think we are good at what we do. There's a certain sense of pride attached to the notion of doing a job well, and getting better and achieving our aims. Some of us get satisfaction through family and interests, maybe even altruism or hedonism, but most of like to think that if our co-workers or employers were asked if we any good at our jobs thay would say yes. So why don't Shell have a big banner outside their office announcing that they are making record profits? Why don't they issue a press release saying that they are doing better than ever, and things are improving for their shareholders like never before? Why aren't they celebrating? read full story / add a comment

Liberia is a strange place. It is (correct me if I'm wrong oh do) the only state which was established in the African continent by purchase rather than historical national process [Ethiopia], or colonisation [almost all of the continent] or by subsequent independence from the "metropoles". The story of Liberia began with the emancipated afro-americans of the mid-19th century and the "black star" chartered by Marcus Garvey to establish a "homeland" which within the idealism of the subsequent DuBois would form the bulwark of a "pan-Africa". Today Liberia seems remote from the utopia planned by its founders, it is a country associated with horrible tribal warfare & for decades was the playground of mercenaries. But its slow recovery may be helped by the arrival of the first women only contingent of UN peace-keeping troops read full story / add a comment
