Hello World,
I have received this email from Avaaz:
The world has just months left to agree on a binding global climate treaty -- humanity's best shot at preventing catastrophic global warming of more than 2 degrees celsius.
This week at the Italian-hosted G8 summit, Canada, Japan, and Russia are trying to veto the 2-degree limit -- and an immediate global outcry is needed to rescue it.
Click below to sign the worldwide petition -- an Avaaz team in Italy will deliver it directly to world leaders and through spectacular stunts on Thursday, bringing global media attention to shame the climate-wreckers and press them to back down. We urgently need at least 100,000 signatures -- click to sign:
Scientists say that if global warming rises past two degrees centigrade, the world's climate systems are very likely to spin out of control -- with searing droughts, sudden floods, and rising seas that spread poverty and force hundreds of millions to relocate.
In fact, such climate effects have already begun -- but we may be able to avert the worst, if urgent UN negotiations succeed this year in reaching a binding treaty. The UN talks, culminating in Copenhagen just six months from now, could launch a historic shift towards a clean-energy, green-recovery future that leaves the climate safe for future generations. But a few nations -- now led by Canada, Russia, and Japan -- have blocked-up the climate talks, endangering the treaty and our future.
The G8 leaders -- joined by eleven other heads of government at a parallel "Major Economies" meeting next door -- represent more than 80% of climate emissions. And this is the leaders' last in-person negotiation before the make-or-break Copenhagen summit.
Thank you!

Hello World!
Right now, there is festival Lent going on in Maribor, Slovenia. There are plenty things to do or see. On Friday there was guided exhibition "Poletje" (Summer) by dr. Tomaž Brejc; he was talking about works of various slovenian artists, besides, he also talked very interestingly about perceiving the current time. We have stopped at work showing videos of river, menwhile dr. Brejc was talking about that now, even the Water is not aware of its form and energy, since there are power stations using its flow; the work was also showing the dirty water slowly flowing on...
We live in time when Water is becoming just another industry, distribution industry (privatization of water resources and its distribution to our homes) and "producing" industry (energy production; filling up loads of plastic bottles), where, agin, the consumer should know what is better and choose... the only choice I want to make is to drink tab Water. Its even better than any other bottled Water. What is more, some researches had shown that plastic do not exactly work health on Water, it can also cause cancer! And, wouldn't it be the nice to drink fresh tab Water without any concerns?
Furthermore, to remind you one more time about Darfur: War for Water, Tomo Križnar is always saying that good needs to connect, because the evil already did. My interpretation would be that we need to connect, in order to make it better, to have better tomorrow, to be friends, shearing same Globe, Water, Air, to become a symphony of those values with other people, nations, animals and our environment.
