There are attempts to foster the false belief that biofuels - fuels derived from plants - are the panacea for the world's energy crisis and global warming. While the rich countries which refuse to reconsider their unsustainable production and consumption patterns may take comfort from such an illusion, developing countries which recklessly embark on the large-scale cultivation of biofuel crops may be pursuing a dangerous and destructive course.

Shell and Statoil, with the approval of the Irish government, are planning to build a high pressure gas pipeline in County Mayo, Ireland, taking land from local residents.
The pipeline will be going through boggy land with a history of landslides.

For the past couple months, the exact location of the G8+5 Climate Summit in Mexico was unknown to Rising Tide North America organizers. Early sources said Mexico City, but this proved impossible to confirm. The G8+5 climate meeting fled to Monterrery, hundreds of miles away from the Alternative Climate Justice Dialogue and Convergence that we initiated and organized in Mexico City. We suspect that the G8+5 meeting was moved away from Mexico's capitol in order to avoid the sting of popular dissent, not just from us climate activists but more critically from the massive movements for democracy and justice that have convulsed Mexico in recent months and converged in Mexico City.

Once you've taken part in a Bioneers Conference, everything you do, from moment to moment and from day to day, has new meaning. Instead of taking yourself and the world for granted, you begin to recognize that with every step you take, everything you eat, everywhere you go, you are making a difference.
You are awakened to the power within yourself to make things happen. Your imagination begins to work overtime.

A Call for Worldwide Actions against Global Agri-Business
during the G8 Summit in June 2007
In June 2007, the political elite of the world's strongest economies (the group of G8 states) will meet in Germany at Heiligendamm near Rostock to coordinate their politics. A basic tenet of this is the creation and widening of better conditions for profit making by transnational companies from the North. At the same time, thousands of people will gather to demonstrate global resistance to exploitation, oppression and capitalism. One topic will be the global politics of agriculture, and in particular genetic technology.

No matter the environmental and social cost, no matter the ever increasing protests from the Icelandic and international communities and the intensifying warnings fom the scientific sector, the Icelandic government is hellbent on going ahead with its plan to inundate the projected Halslon reservoir at Karahnjukar between 15-30 September 2006.

Giant water projects, in most cases, benefit the powerful, dispossess the weak. Even when such projects are publicly funded, their beneficiaries are mainly construction companies, industries, and commercial farmers. While privatization is generally couched in rhetoric about the disappearing role of the state, what we actually see is increased state intervention in water policy, subverting community control over water resources. Policies imposed by the World Bank, and trade liberalization rules crafted by the World Trade Organization (WTO), are creating a sweeping culture of corporate-states all over the world.

WTO - An Instrument of Neocolonisation and Corporate Takeover
Vandana Shiva
The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has provided a powerful forum for developed countries to erode the economic sovereignty of the Third World Countries including ours. Our market has been forced to open for goods and services of the multinationals particularly holders of the monopoly rights in intellectual property.

La activación de convergencias en materia de desarrollo local limpio solidario e identitario, de instituciones, de dirigentes políticos y de ciudadanos es una alternativa a la exclusión de otro mundo posible por el estigma de la utopía. Esta nueva incidencia de globalización ciudadana hace posible lo que antes del impacto mexicano hubiera sido descartado como un sueño inalcanzable y que será realidad en la conmemoración ciudadana de la próxima conmemoración de la festividad de San Pantaleón que unirá, en el municipio de Campóo de En medio (Cantabria), productos límpios, solidarios e identitarios de comunidades y de ciudadanos del estado de Puebla (México). No se trata de un sueño sino de un reciclaje de las convergencias de los actores expuestos en materia de un desarrollo local limpio solidario e identitario.
