Food Not Bombs

Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements and is gaining momentum throughout the world. There are hundreds of autonomous chapters sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people and protesting war and poverty. Food Not Bombs is not a charity. This energetic grassroots movement is active throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Food Not Bombs is organizing for peace and an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. For over 25 years the movement has worked to end hunger and has supported actions to stop the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people, end exploitation and the destruction of the earth. On this website you can find out about your local Food Not Bombs, or how to start up your own. (Food Not Bombs, 2006)

Send an email and urge Peru to take immediate measures to conserve and sustainably manage mahogany

The Peruvian rain forest is one of the world's most biologically rich and diverse regions and provides habitat for highly threatened wildlife such as the jaguar, harpy eagle, and giant river otter. Unfortunately, these creatures and their habitats are at risk from the unsustainable harvesting of timber, particularly of big-leaf mahogany, a threatened species so valuable that it can lead to the destruction of large forest areas. Peru is the world's largest exporter of big-leaf mahogany, with over 90% going to the North American market.

Time running out to save bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean

Fuelled by high global demand for sushi and the unsustainable expansion in tuna farming, the fishery sees huge illegal and unregulated activity - especially by EU fleets. Catches by traditional fishermen are down by some 80% on what they used to be, and six tuna farms have now closed due to lack of fish. A strict recovery plan must be adopted by ICCAT in Croatia this November - before it is too late. Sign the e-petition.
