Liste of urgent actions!

Dear friends, I know most of us suffer from info pollution and some even from Cognitive Overflow Syndrome (info here).
I have read about info saturation before but I heard about this term (C.O.S.) in the very impressing performance of Thomas Ferrand in our festival "Danse d'éxistence, Danse de Résistance"...
So while our festival is still going and I'm dancing tonight Apertae by Bernardo Montet, I urge you to participate in the following actions, without having to go to many places :
1. http://www.timetolead.eu/
2. Ask Obama!

And some good news : marine conservation in Hong Kong

Promises & poverty!

Excerpt from the avaaz site :

This week world leaders gather at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Here, all focus is on a multi billion dollar bailouts of financial institutions and the real untold scandal -- global poverty -- risks being forgotten. France, Canada, and Italy are threatening to slash their development aid budgets and break their promise to assign a mere 0.7 % of national income to the world's poorest. If these countries retract on commitments, others may follow -- it’s time to raise the alarm.

Already, hedge funds are buying big pieces of land especially in virgin Aegean islands in order to make use of this Spatial Plan regulations.

Human life?

Spirit, intelligence, or existential genius - call it as you wish - may be expressed in very complex ways...Rationalizing and interpreting another culture by standards that only express the dominant culture does not seem to guaranty anything else than opinion-ism or narcissistic supremacy...Bla, bla, bla...If you "love" humans here is one of today's suggestion to act : Bushmen in danger

Don't burn food: biofuels standards now!

Increased demand for biofuels is driving up food prices and accelerating climate change, as rainforests are destroyed to grow fuel. But with strong global sustainability standards, we can ensure that biofuels help, rather than hurt.

This weekend, the twenty biggest economies, responsible for more than 75% of the world's carbon emissions, will meet in Chiba, Japan to begin the climate change discussions leading up to the G8 summit this summer. Before the summit, let's send our leaders messages urging the adoption of global standards for biofuels.

Sending your message is easy. Click HERE : AVAAZ!

Act for Special Procedures: A Global Petition

“The Special Procedures give a voice to the voiceless victims of abuses.”

-Kofi Annan, 19 June 2006

Despite the clear need for the Human Rights Council to strengthen the Special Procedures, several states are instead proposing changes that would cripple the ability of Special Procedures to promote and protect human rights effectively.

War or Irak?

I have the certainty that truth in politics
is as difficult to localise as truth in philosophy...
However, our fellow U.S. Americans seem to be fed up
with the war in Irak.
Maybe this petition could help them get the message to their Leader ...
