POPS Who says it's green to burn woodchips? Almuth Ernsting from Biofuelwatch said: "It's almost unbelievable that we're creating vast areas of monoculture, mile after mile, just to be cut down as fast as they grow, to be shipped thousands of miles to be burned just for people's electricity. It just doesn't make sense. What about all the habitat that gets destroyed along the way?" Arrrghhh!!!! Please pass on ... retweet ... whatever. Somewhere I line must be drawn. See how woodlands can support multiple livings, and how complex they really are... www.worldwidewood.wordpress.com.

POPSThe Green Revolution wasn’t green enough What really drives the Green Revolution is profits for oil and chemical companies which is why it is so hard to stop. If cattle are fed on pasture, no money is need for buying, producing and transporting corn, it stays with the farmer.

POPSIndonesian hotspots flare, haze thickens: officials Nothing short of apocalyptic. Our most valuable resource -- rain forest -- made to contribute enormously to climate change, rather than mitigate, not to mention the ecocide. This should be a far greater priority for the "international community" to stop, now. Stopping the importing of palm oil would be a good start.

POPSWorld Oil Reserves Fell for First Time in 10 Years, BP Says The reserves may or may not be there. Everyone knows that the Saudi Arabia's and the other Gulf States figures are as opaque as they are suspect. And that hundreds of thousands of square miles of the Canadian boreal forest will be turned into a wasteland if these "reserves" are ever to be tapped. What people forget is that the price of oil can never be higher than people can afford to pay which means it is bound to come down as people have to reign in their spending, making exploration and ecocide "uneconomic".

POPSThe Great Biofuels Con It is a crime against humanity and a crime against nature. Cutting down forests for monocrops of any kind is ecocide.

POPSWhy We Shouldn't Celebrate Thanksgiving Also recommended: THE EARTH SHALL WEEP: A History of Native America James Wilson Grove Press History ISBN: 080213680X . It tells the history from the point of view of the natives. It gives the feeling of what it is like to be exterminated, all from fully documented sources. Almost too painful to read, but at least by reading it, one can honour all the monumental suffering - genocide and ecocide -- which is at the heart of the European conquest of both North and South America.
