- Green movement getting a blue-chip hue
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  Increasingly, executives are supporting environmental initiatives at the micro level in their own organizations, and pushing for more stringent standards from government. It's no longer a safe assumption that corporate executives are conservative when it comes to environmental initiatives.

- Seven Solutions to Homelessness
  Posted by Shemuses from The Tyee
  Homelessness is not necessary. Unlike most other urban social problems, homelessness is something policymakers actually know how to address. The U.S. and Britain have slashed their rates of homelessness during the past decade.

Canada to seek climate deal with Obama

This sounds like a good news story but iin reallity the Canadian government wants to secure concessions for that massive greenhous gas emmitter called the tar sands. They want to play America’s energy security worries off of climate change to ensure that the growth of the oil sands can continue unabated under supposedly tighter carbon emmissions restrictions.

The Culture of Meat

A humanity that would domesticate is not healthy. Exploitation and slavery come to mind, as well as torture. Given all the information available about the harms of animal products on the human body I am flabbergasted that people accept this ‘meat washing’.

incorrect overdose of simple proteins

no animal that eats meat naturally has to cook it

intestine inflammation

reduced energy and fatigue

Maybe because I have never eaten it and observed the effects on others that I take this no intentional harm abuse or consumption of life stance. good book: Eternal Treblinka
