At the end of the day
eco-friendliness is all about improving our living conditions.
According to Michael Cohen, Mayor of Kalkara, Malta, this is easily
forgotten in everyday talk about bans and restrictions which will
help us save our planet – but at the same time force us to
fundamentally change our way of living.Tags: environment, green cities

Toutes les cinq
secondes, un enfant de moins de dix ans meurt de faim ou de ses
suites immédiates. Qui aurait cru que nous connaîtrions une crise
alimentaire de cette nature. La montée des prix est préoccupante,
mais la baisse des stocks mondiaux est trop souvent ignorée.Les
stocks de denrées de première nécessité (blé, mais, riz) n’ont
jamais été aussi bas depuis 20 ans. En 2007 la production a connu
une baisse réelle alors que la consommation est été largement en
hausse notamment pour un usage industriel. Au cœur du débat la
mobilisation de plus en plus importante de la production céréalière
pour produire des biocarburants. Cette mobilisation va de pair avec
une mobilisation des terres agricoles non plus pour la culture
vivrière, mais pour celle de biocarburant, plus lucrative.Tags: biofuels, blogger of the week, food crisis

Almost
daily we hear alarming news about one of the biggest challenges
of our time – the one about the global warming. As citizens and
consumers we have a responsibility to act. A responsibility not
always easy to handle. Scientific reports from governments,
companies and others are sometimes contradictory, and it’s easy
to lose hope and feel powerless. This is where the EU, as a big
actor on the world wide market has an important role to play. It
is here we see the necessity of political action rather than just
letting the free market decide.
But it is not enough- It must also be easier for all European
citizens to make environment friendly decisions and thereby
taking their own responsibility! The environmental crisis is to
enormous and complex to be solved on just one political level.
Its first when we act both individually, locally, in larger
regions and globally that we can make a change. It does not mean
that we can wait for someone else to take responsibility, rather
that we all must take action now. We have to act as a united
front. Many citizens are trying to take action. With everyday
actions, like leaving the car at home and travel by bus, or
buying locally produced and bio grown products, everyone can make
a difference. » read more

Socialists are pushing for
more action on climate change, since it is necessary to act now,
leaving aside the disastrous “business as usual approach”.
Socialist MEP Linda McAvan (Labour UK) hosted the WWF debate “EU
Climate action : Do 30% NOW!” on 6 May 2008. Here are a few
conclusions from the meeting:Tags: climate change, CO2, development, environment
