Just heard over the radio that 40,000 delegates went to Rio last week.

Not many were pleased with the results except enough pollution for climate change and enough to write off the debt of a country.

Let’s have better governments and effective work at national levels. Then develop better regional levels. If needs be let’s go to international summits.

International summits are planned well ahead ! Does that mean they are not going to try regional levels and national levels enough ?

”In Indonesia people lose their land to REDD projects”:

In Puttalam, Amparai, Jafna, Trincomalee, …… people lose their land to SLA and SLN.

I don’t think holding sign saying “STOP CORPORATE GREED” and shouting the same thing is going to change anything. Corporations are formed in such a way that they put the financial interests of their owners above all else. It’s not their fault. It’s just their structure.

Passing laws to protect whatever you want to protect and suing corporations that violate them seems like much more worthwhile endeavour.
