Message-ID: Hi all There are amazing things that are about to take place within the history of the planet. One of those is Copenhagen. I feel that if the world leaders do not show enough future vision, then the people will lead the way. The World Governments better beware of people power. Cheers Ray ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: phil smith Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 21:41:11 +1100 Subject: FW: What an amazing day that was! To: mountainvalleyvegies at gmail.com hi ray worth suggesting this 12 december event as an action for the TT groups? p Dear all Thank you so much for helping to make the 350 Global Day of Climate Action such a fantastic success. The event was the lead news story around the world. Our tall ship featured on television and newspapers as well as on the giant screen in Times Square, New York! Check out some of the videos, photos and links featuring the ship, including a compilation of television coverage: http://sites.google.com/site/sutherlandcan/past-events/tallship Also have a look at the photos and video at http://350.org of actions around the world. So inspiring and heartwarming, it's a challenge to keep your eyes dry! While you?re there, please sign up to show you?re ready for a Fair, Ambitious and Binding (FAB!) climate treaty. This will also register you to receive 350.org email updates in the lead-up to Copenhagen. If you have time, it's really important to send a message to Penny Wong and your local Federal MP (find your electorate, then find your MP). Let them know what you did on 350 Day and urge them to support 350 at Copenhagen. The funds we raised will be transferred shortly to the Edmund Rice Centre to help an Islander from Kiribati get to Copenhagen ?more on this as it develops. Warm regards Jonathan Doig Sutherland Climate Action Network PS Put 12th December in your diary now: the Walk Against Warming during the Copenhagen talks will be part of the next global day of action - even bigger than 350 Day! _________________________________________________________________ Looking for a date?

The website does not release your email address but they will receive it when you reply to them. Name George Main Email gmain at nma.gov.au Phone Comments Hello, The National Museum of Australia recently launched Changing Places, an online project aiming to generate discussion about the cultural dimensions of climate change. Changing Places invites people to upload contemporary or historic photos that show how anthropogenic climate change is changing places they know and love. We ask people to note how they feel about these changes. We also ask if these changes are influencing their thoughts about the place of people in the world. Have a look at the site: http://www.flickr.com/groups/changingplaces/. Changing Places offers a rare opportunity to discuss the cultural and emotional dimensions of global climate change, at the local and national level. I'd be grateful if you could circulate this email throughout your networks, and I encourage you to contribute. Many thanks, George Main Curator National Museum of Australia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There were 4 great speakers in Skye Etherington- deep forest ecology, Soul( made the hemp revolution video, soon to be released up dated version on dvd) - hemp as an alternative to using our native forests for paper, Walter Jehne- micro biologist and Rosemary Beaumont- micro biologist/social ecologist. With half an hour of Q & A. One person in the community Decided to make a stand "Look at what is happening" " What are they doing to our land" One person out in the battle field Taking woodchipping head on The forestry sat back laughing "This won't last very long" Then another and another Joined in the fight "This civil war in the forest" they yelled "Will be over by the night" But the trees kept on falling And now it is 32 years on Some wins have been had But we are up against a rising sun The value of our forests Don't seem to be enough It's time for our weak livered Governments To finally give a stuff Japan woke up long ago They don't cut down their own trees So they ring up Australia "Hello, can we have some chips please " So for 32 years we cheaply sell Load by load If you put those trees end to end They go five times around the globe Our trees and our money all head of shore This is a public asset But State Forest is always crying poor It's all just big business Take and take, then take some more There is a change about to happen It's called "Environmental Law" When elders and leaders in the community Recently spoke The woodchippers started spitting chips It sounded like they choked A compromise was reached Peace unto as all Hopefully we can work this out And for woodchips, no more trees fall So once again we put up our solutions Hemp, New Zealand flax and bamboo Stop woodchipping Our forests Now it's upto you.

Bit sad really. Are we having a meeting in December?
