for those who care about people AND animals: Peace and the ENVIRONMENTAL
Edited on Sat Apr-07-07 07:02 AM by jarnocan
concerns of course are closely related in many ways. Desperate people take drastic means and millions of people migrating to survive will be a catatrophe. Also war of course creates environmental disastors. It breaks my heart when people focus on one and NOT the other,(actually it ALL relates in many ways; poverty,humane rights,vote fraud,911,corruption ETC.) sure it is hard to priorotize, but I was very glad to see this:

Several months ago, VotersForPeace initiated the NoWarNoWarming coalition with national peace and climate VotersForPeace, United for Peace and Justice, Peace Action, CODEPINK, Global Exchange and others are supporting the StepItUp campaign, an exciting national day of climate action on April 14th which is hosting more than 1100 local events.
http://www.nowarnowarming.org/ Please check it out! Many communities have some nice but worthwhile activites planned and you can plan your own. PETITION on right side of page!!!

I also found this related info via a Union of Concerned Scientist e-mail with a link to http://events.stepitup2007.org/ and here is a link to another related article actually from the MSM.

"Experts warn warming will harm society, nature "

"Agreement came after an all-night session during which key sections were deleted from the draft and scientists angrily confronted government negotiators who they feared were watering down their findings"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17953433 USA, China and Saudi Arabia Gov. officials wanted the report toned down. grrr...

(BTW speaking of peace issues-did I mention Cindy Sheehan is coming to Greensbor on 4/21 http://cpcnc.blogspot.com for more info YEA!)

1. and of course for those that don't give a rat's A$$ chit chat away:)
Have you ever gone on CARE2.com? sometimes it is agravating how many folks care about animals and don't seem to care about as much about issues like WAR, or election fraud etc. - as if they don't get the conection, and are oblivious how much the far right has fought to obscure the truth from US.
