Take the message direct to Dow Chemical  pop

Greenpeace Aotearoa New Zealand, Thursday, 23 January 2003. Despite having received over 15,000 emails and many thousands of postcards and letters urging them to clean up their mess in Bhopal, India, Dow Chemical is continuing to ignore growing public outcry.

Contact your local government representative requesting that they conduct an Ecological Footprint analysis of your municipality.

We can save energy and dollars in areas such as transportation; industrial processes; and building operations. At the same time, we can improve the efficiency of our city's operations while protecting our quality of life from pollution and traffic congestion. Most importantly, we can improve our local economy.

Action Against the Salween Dams in Burma

Stand up in solidarity with Burma's victims of severe and systematic human rights violations and environmental destruction. Protest against the Thai government's plans with the Burmese military dictatorship to dam the Salween River in Burma. Civil War is raging in the area around the dam sites and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced at gunpoint. Dams are being used as a military strategy against the ethnic peoples of Burma. Torture, rape, and killings of villagers are continuing as more soldiers are being deployed and more landmines laid. Dams will provide financial support to the military junta. Massive corruption is inevitable given the complete lack of transparency. The dams will permanently degrade Southeast Asia's longest free flowing river's fisheries, floodplains, teak forests and wildlife habitats, and flood villages and fertile agricultural land. What Can You Do? Demonstrate in front of your local Thai Embassy/Consulate on September 21, 2006 Contact your Thai embassy and share your concerns. Sign the petition letter attached. Encourage others to sign the petition and participate in the action. Hold roundtable talks, meetings, documentary showings, and other events to raise awareness about this issue.

Bomb to be dropped on Western Shoshone Nation's ancestral land

Just weeks after the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) urged the United States to halt any actions taken against or threatened against the Western Shoshone people, the US has announced plans to drop a 700-ton bunker-busting bomb on this disputed territory on 2 June 2006. Being the most bombed nation in the world, the Western Shoshone already suffer unusually high rates of leukaemia and birth defects. Western Shoshone activists say nothing much has changed since the earlier genocide (where US soldiers handed out blankets laced with smallpox) eradicated 98% of the indigenous population: only this time it is a 'spiritual genocide' against the Earth. The explosion can only be halted if there is enough opposition. This article includes information on how to take action. (Nicola Graydon, The Ecologist Blog, 20 April 2006)

Emergency Action Needed for Endangered Sea Turtles / India

Dredging and the construction of the Dhama port in Dhama, India will begin very soon. This will threaten the food sources and nesting beaches for hundreds of thousands of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles that congregate here every year to mate and lay their eggs (Global Response, 6 November 2007).

Expose the Reality Behind Bottled Water

Coke, Nestlé and Pepsi are misleading consumers into believing that bottled water is better for you than tap water--but the fact is that bottled water is actually less regulated! These corporations have spent tens of thousands of dollars to convince us that bottled water is cleaner, healthier and safer than tap water. So, as these corporations profit off our water, they are undermining support for our public water supplies, which could pave the way for corporate privatization of our public water systems. Tell Coke, Nestlé and Pepsi to stop misleading promotion of their bottled water brands and to stop interfering in policies that protect our water.

Fifty Ways to Help Save the Planet: What you can do

The sheer scale of the processes under way in the atmosphere and the oceans makes it hard not to view anything an individual does to reduce emissions as being too little too late. Not true. The astonishing fact is that each of us can have an immediate impact on the production of greenhouse gases, and if enough of us act together in these minor ways, the cumulative effect will be dramatic. That's because so much of the way we live our lives is wasteful and, to put it bluntly, thoughtless.The overwhelming and heartening point about the ideas here is that, if adopted by large numbers of people, they will have an immeasurable effect. When it comes down to it, the continued rise in carbon emissions is a matter of individual conscience: each of us can and should do something, however small. In 5 or 10 years' time that thought, together with everything written here, should be second nature to us. This little booklet is the future-a more ingenious, more satisfying, and less wasteful future. (Vanity Fair, August 2006)

Future Remains Uncertain for Tasmania's Old Growth Forests

Prime Minister John Howard promised to preserve these forests during his reelection campaign. His administration now appears to be delaying. Letters from concerned citizens (particularly travelers who may vote with their dollars) are needed to help convince the government to follow through on its environmental promises.
