Our Environment
The Amazon is in serious danger - the lower house of the Brazilian congress has approved
a gutting of Brazil’s forest protection laws. Unless we act now, vast tracts of our
planet’s lungs could be opened to clear-cutting devastation.
The move has sparked
widespread anger and protests across Brazil, and tension is rising. In the last few
weeks, several prominent environmental advocates have been murdered, purportedly
by armed thugs hired by illegal loggers. The timing is critical, they’re trying to
silence criticism just as the law is to be discussed in the Senate. But President
Dilma can veto the changes, if we can convince her to overcome political pressure
and step onto the global stage as a leader.
79% of Brazilians support Dilma's veto
of the forest law changes, but their voices are being challenged by logger lobbies.
It’s now up to all of us to raise the stakes and make Amazon protection a global
issue. Let’s come together now in a giant call to stop the murders and illegal logging.
Save the Amazon. Sign the petition below -- it will be delivered to Dilma when we
reach 500,000 signatures
Listen to this song.
It has a catchy tune and is perfect for reminding us of Climate Change
Mother Nature is calling us and we should heed this call! Let us act now!
MOTHER NATURE NEEDS US!
Composed by PJ GRAND Lead Vocal by Bettie Wilson Produced by Marty Rifkin.
As we travel through the universe on spaceship earth in the 21st century, it' s time to remember that people once believed that our planet was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth - how many people believe that today? Now some people are saying "global warming" is a hoax - and that environmental friendly energy solutions are "too expensive". It is our hope that in the coming decade humanity worldwide will embrace science and realize saving our environment and our planet are not - a political issue! Though we can only succeed if we offer - unconditional love - to all, even to the one's who may disagree with us - if we reach out to one another with love - respect and kindness - we will indeed have the power to unite as one and save our environment - our home. It’s not a fantasy – we will make it our reality! Wherever you live in the world do your part because if just one person shines, others will follow in line! Mother Nature needs us - till the end of time! God bless you one and all! The pj grand band.

OUR TWO CENTS WORTH
We are firm believers in nuclear power. It has proven to be a reliable source of energy in the past and will continue to be reliable in the future.
However, we really only need one power plant to supply us.
It needs to have good distribution
over most of the populated areas and easily available to anyone.
It should be a proven
design with no maintenance required and last a very long time without any upgrades
or modifications.
There should be no waste to deal with and be inaccessible to terrorists
for their use.
Such a power plant already exists. It is 93,000,000 miles away but, oh, so easy to hook up to...
Solar energy uncertainty tackled
Solar energy uncertainty tackled (UKPA)
The Government has attempted to tackle continuing uncertainty over cuts to subsidies for domestic solar energy by setting a potential new date for introducing lower tariffs.
Ministers wanted to halve the payments to new household solar panels installed from December 12 onwards, because they said the falling costs of the technology made the subsidies too generous and the scheme risked spiralling over budget.
