Help is needed for Haitians. Haiti has been destroyed by an earthquake. A competant doctor is not healing only the symptoms but focuses rather on reasons.
I guess this is something that we try to do as a "Spirit Of Squatters Collective". One of the best posters now is made as video and in that hopefully and efficient way, on the long therm would help for poor people all around the world. Main reasons for disasters are more often consequences of climate change. Main reason of hunger is not lack of food but lack of justice. In the movie we are showing the reason, consequences and SOLUTIONS for even more problems that those mentioned above. Charity start at home...Music: Janusz Reichel and La Aferra
This is solidarity action. The solidarity is stronger when it is seen by as many people as possible.So...Please use it ! Pass this info to everybody who could be interested !!!
Feel free to embed,link it,send it,screen it etc. Use it=don't loose it. Reclaim the media with us ! Cook plants, not planets
Do flaming forests, famines, floods and other nasty scenarios brought forth by climate chaos worry you? Want to do something immediately? it's actually cow burps, not farts, that warm up the climate
The least you can do is leave ham, cheese and milk in the supermarket and make space on your plate for beans and oat milk. Going veg(etari)an is not only about standing up against animal cruelty, it's one of the most efficient lifestyle changes an individual can make to tackle climate change and poverty. (It's good for your body, too, but I'm not really interested in health issues for this, go here)
Agriculture is seriously disturbing the climate, mostly due to the keeping of livestock, that is, cattle, pigs, and poultry. Animal industry is responsible for at least 18% of greenhouse gas emissions - more than all of the car, air and boat traffic combined!
The gases come from burning fossil fuels in the production of artificial fertilizers, methane emissions from both the animals themselves (cow burps) and from dealing with manure, and the use of fossil fuels in producing animal fodder. Methane especially is a very powerful greenhouse gas, 21 times more harmful than CO2.
Beef in Europe = desert in Brazil
The European consumer doesn't see how their consumption damages the ecosystem, because most of it takes place in the Global South. Europe is so small and densely populated that you can earn more money from land by other business than agriculture.
Companies prefer to produce and buy animal fodder from where it's cheap, such as South-American countries. Europe imports 70% of its protein for cattle feed. And even if Europeans wanted it, they could probably not free enough land to feed all the meat industry animals living in our meat factories.
A plant-based diet requires just 20% of the land of that required by an omnivore.
Eating away biodiversity
Methane's global warming potential is 25 over a 100-year period.Animal production obviously also changes the landscape and affects the climate through that. Take trees for example. Trees are great. They help to regulate our climate and store carbon dioxide. But 13 million hectares a year are being clearcut and burned a common reason is to provide grazing grounds and grow animal fodder.
The explosion of soy cultivation for the animal industry has caused the destruction of millions of hectares of forest and savannah with extremely high and valuable biodiversity. Burning down forests and the oxidation of carbon by soil loss causes massive emissions of CO2.
The loss of soil leads to local temperature rise and desertification. Not to mention the effects of transporting all the feed, manure, animals, and the end product the meat, milk and eggs.
Save Planet Earth it's the only place where you can buy chocolate
Veganism is increasingly popular, partly for health and environmental reasons, and also owing to the growing awareness of how the meat industry treats its raw material. Still, meat consumption has increased fourfold in the past 50 years. There are three times as much livestock as there are humans!
Tragically, countries such as India and China are copying the overconsuming western life-style. If meat-eating continues to increase, then by 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as much grain as would feed four billion people.

Global warming isn't real. back in the 80's people honestly thought the world was going to freeze. the earth goes through it changes and the Govt knows it . IF Global warming was real every government including China would respond. Global warning is a scheme so we could implement the "Carbon Tax".
