Green on HuffingtonPost.com |
| "Making your mark on the world is hard," President Obama simply put during a 2006 speech. When I was a young girl I knew I wanted to help people. Considering my fascination with simply knowing how things worked, I had trouble picturing how I could turn that passion into a career. |

Muslims and the War on Terror
|

rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Some self-proclaimed experts continue to pin collective blame on Muslims, citing the "radicalization" of the community.
A tipoff from a prominent Toronto imam more than a year ago appears to be at the heart of arrests at the end of April in the alleged VIA Rail terror plot in Canada. In fact, counterterrorism police began their press briefing by thanking Muslim leaders.
Even in the Boston marathon tragedy, national and local Muslim organizations have condemned the bombings. The largest Muslim civil rights group in the country, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, even asked Muslims to offer authorities any leads that they may have.

Global opposition in wake of 'Key of Knowledge' award to Morgan Freeman in Toronto
|
22.5.2013 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| Tuesday, May 21, 2013
The Toronto gala celebration has become the subject of powerful international criticism, with Desmond Tutu and anti-apartheid icon Ahmed 'Kathy' Kathrada adding their voices to those opposed.
A number of Toronto organizations -- including Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA), Faculty for Palestine, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, Students Against Israeli Apartheid, Independent Jewish Voices (Toronto), the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, Women in Solidarity with Palestine, and Labour for Palestine (Toronto) -- recently protested an award gala where actor Morgan Freeman was given the 'Key of Knowledge.' They have now released this follow-up statement.

Melting Glaciers
|
21.5.2013 |
Green Technology and Environmental Science News - ENN |
Most of the world's frozen water is locked up at the poles. 99 percent of Earth’s land ice is located in the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Yet the remaining ice in the world’s glaciers contributed just as much to sea rise as the two major ice sheets combined from 2003 to 2009, says a new study led by Clark University and involving the University Colorado Boulder. The new research found that all glacial regions lost significant mass from 2003 to 2009, with the biggest ice losses occurring in Arctic Canada, Alaska, coastal Greenland, the southern Andes and the Himalayas. The glaciers outside of the Greenland and Antarctic sheets lost an average of roughly 260 billion metric tons of ice annually during the study period, causing the oceans to rise 0.03 inches, or about 0.7 millimeters per year. |

Getting to One-Planet Living

| Worldwatch Institute"s State of the World 2013 explores new ways to measure sustainability and live within our planet"s boundaries
Washington, D.C. —As the world continues down the path of unmitigated and unsustainable development, it is becoming increasingly clear that we have successfully pushed ourselves out of the stable geological era of the Holocene and into the more volatile and unpredictable Anthropocene. Nevertheless, many remain blissfully unaware of this truth due to the fact that ecosystem thresholds are not always marked with warning signs of impending danger. Unfortunately, this means that we may actually pass through a tipping point unaware because it is quite possible that nothing significant will happen at first.
In State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible? , the Worldwatch Institute ( www.worldwatch.org ) discusses the need to collectively stay within our planetary boundaries if we wish to achieve environmental sustainability and return ... |
