Today an article about how we shower developing countries with our toxic waste. what a shame really!

Then here are two videos of protest songs I think particularly thought-provoking.
Mr President by Pink on Youtube
and above all "Let's impeach the president" by Neil Young
Enjoy and remember Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.

the foretold demise of the fish


According to some scientists, in fifty years' time, fish will have disappeared as a result of overfishing, plain human greed and sheer stupidity. I can't bear that idea. There is nothing I enjoy more than snorkelling in the warm seas of the Caribbean, at one with nature and animals, swimming in their midst. What ineffable pleasure!The fish I meet there are different from the ones that are fished on an industrial scale, obviously. Yet isn't it a sustainable resource in the same way as renewable energies? To think that most of them die to feed other animals? It is a crazy world, isn't it?

It is hard to believe that this can happen in a democracy, or can it?
