| «Future Shock» by Alvin Toffler |
[31 Aug 2008|05:12pm] |
|
This is a book about what happens to people when they are overwhelmed by change. It is about the ways in which we adapt - or fail to adapt - to the future. Much has been written about the future. Yet, for the most part, books about the world to come sound a harsh metallic note. These pages, by contrast, concern themselves with the "soft" or human side of tomorrow. Moreover, they concern themselves with the steps by which we are likely to reach tomorrow. They deal with common, everyday matters - the products we buy and discard, the places we leave behind, the corporations we inhabit, the people who pass at an ever faster clip through our lives. The future of friendship and family life is probed. Strange new subcultures and life styles are investigated, along with an array of other subjects from politics and playgrounds to skydiving and sex... Read the book...

Check out Pickensplan, look at the main video on the first page. It gives a good idea of the plan. It's actually pretty informative. Pickens is a business man, first and foremost, and his plan, it's actually brilliant. I will admit I think he has no problems with making money off human needs. He wouldn't give away a glass of water to you. . .not if he could sell it to your rich neighbor for cash. This guy means business. But it's also happens to be green that he is selling, and its probably good for us.
The only thing is that he doesn't go into the details of how the natural gas will be used for more vehicles. Natural gas vehicles (I have one, a honda civic CNG) are rare and not common. To really save oil, we would need a huge push from the government (in more incentives) to get people to buy these cars. How is that going to happen? Is Pickens saying that can NOT happen now with the Bush administration, because he is in bed with the oil companies, and has no leadership? I would say, uh "Yes!".
Think whatever you want of Pickens. . .but a strategy similiar to his ideas MUST be adopted SOON or America will suffer greatly. I beleive we will fail if we don't do this. It's simple, our government must push us towards other sources of power to become more efficient. Yes I think we can NOT wait for the market forces to guide us towards renewable energy. We will end up starving to death while we wait for the market to catch up. With the recent survey of 38% of Americans having problems buying food, I would say we are already starving. I really think the government needs to step in and push for renewable energy, one way or the other.

I really wish I could do simple things without effecting humanity across the Earth. Like buy a local hamburger. . .or like wash my hands! Read how palm oil (used in Dove soap) is effecting your world.
And then there is burgerking. We have a burger king only a half mile from my house, great cheap burgers! But I was thinking, how much of the beef and such is from overseas. . . it must be to make the hamburger this cheap. A few weeks later, sure enough. I listen to KPFK radio and find out they buy tomatoes offshore because thats the cheapest ones they can get. From farmworkers who are almost like slaves. Time to go buy burgers from Mcdonalds.?

FOR PEOPLE IN THE DC METRO AREA!

|
| New positions open at the Beehive Collective! |
[11 Feb 2008|05:37pm] |
---THE BEEHIVE COLLECTIVE IS SEARCHING FOR NEW WORKER BEES!---
In anticipation of our most exciting and busy year to date, featuring the
launch of two new graphics campaigns, our swarm of eleven is in need of
five more workers. We are currently seeking a few passionate and
committed organizers, educators, and artists to join us full-time in
Maine, at satellite Hive locations, and on the road, beginning as soon as
possible.
Please pass this note on to others who might be interested!
**********CURRENT POSITIONS AVAILABLE*********
- Archivist/Documentarian (Mountaintop Removal Mining campaign)
- Graphics Campaign Coordinator (Mesoamerica Resiste)
- Education Coordinator (Mountaintop Removal Mining campaign)
- Illustration Collaborator (pen & ink, Mountaintop Removal Mining campaign)
- Distribution, Networking & “Pollination” Coordinator (core Hive
position)
Detailed descriptions at www.beehivecollective.org
**********THE HIVE'S ALTERNATIVE TO SALARIES**********
In exchange for their efforts and commitment, all Bees, both full and part
time, are provided with (exceptionally amazing) food and housing for the
time they are involved, in Maine or on the road. Indeed, this does not
cover other expenses that you may have such as healthcare or debt, but we
will support you in coming up with a work plan that can address your
specific needs. Bees committed beyond six months are eligible to receive
Americorps benefits such as school debt deferment, an education stipend
and health care. Thus far, we've found this approach to be the best way
for us to honor the work of each of us equally, while avoiding dependency
on unstable foundation funding.
**********ABOUT THE BEEHIVE**********
We are an all volunteer, non profit art-activist collective, dedicated to
making anti-copyright images for use as educational tools. Our mission is
to "cross-pollinate the grassroots." We value collaborative work,
creative problem solving, and dismantling colonial mentality. As the bee
metaphor dictates, we are endlessly busy in the effort to illuminate the
connections between single issues and the "big picture." Our organism
requires long hours, patience and a solid sense of humor, but is
consistently surprising, rewarding and personally transformative.
**********CURRENT CAMPAIGNS**********
*****MESOAMERICA RESISTE: Now four years in the making and extensively
researched throughout the region, this project is focused on giving voice
to the many grassroots and community-based alternatives to the Plan Puebla
Panama (PPP). The PPP is a massive trade corridor and industrial
development plan that would span southern Mexico, Central America, and
Colombia. Unprecedented in scale and sold by its designers as a regional
integration plan, the PPP is actually an acceleration of five hundred
years of colonialism and genocide founded on racism, military occupation,
short-term consumerism, and foreign control of land and resources.
Depicted by the Beehive as an elaborate pen and ink drawing, with over 450
distinct species of plant and animals, Mesoamerica Resiste is in the
homestretch of completion. In many ways, when this illustration hatches,
our work will have just begun. To release this graphic into the world and
ensure that it returns to the region to serve as a participatory tool for
resistance movements, we are seeking a CAMPAIGN COORDINATOR. This person
would join our team as soon as possible, for part-time for training in
Toronto (or possibly Philadelphia), full-time work through the summer in
Maine, and touring in the Fall.
*****MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL MINING (MTR): With support from the Provisions
Library for Art & Social Change, and collaboration from the grassroots
groups Rising Tide and Mountain Justice Summer, the Hive has
enthusiastically agreed to pursue a campaign illuminating the most extreme
form of surface mining for coal. With this new campaign we hope to further
develop our image-based storytelling methods to cross domestic
geographical, class, and literacy barriers. We intend to produce a
learning tool that artfully captures the human and ecological scale of
shortsighted resource extraction, while participating in the rich
storytelling tradition of Appalachia. This project has an very tight
deadline, with the illustration component going to print in August.
For the MTR campaign we are seeking multiple roles: an EDUCATION
COORDINATOR, DOCUMENTARIAN/ARCHIVIST, and an ILLUSTRATION COLLABORATOR.
These three folks would join us on the road this Spring, at our Hive in
Maine in the Summer, and possibly tour with the finished graphics campaign
in the Fall. We intend for this project to be the first of many graphics
campaigns focused on Climate Change issues.
**********HOW TO APPLY**********
More information about each of these roles is currently on the front page
of our website. We'll be filling these positions by early March, so it's
best to get in touch immediately if you're interested. Write or email us
a letter of introduction using our “20 Questions” as a guide. Call us at
(207) 669-4117 and we’ll mail you a hard copy, or check out

| Lanzamiento d Polinizaciones / Launching of Polinizaciones |
[06 Dec 2007|04:48pm] |
Las abejas del Colectivo la Colmena están entusiasmadas para contarles y compartir el lanzamiento del proyecto Polinizaciones. Polinizaciones es una colaboración entre la Colmena y varias comunidades, grupos y personas en Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador y Panamá para difundir la trilogía gráfica, creado por el colectivo, sobre globalización en América, específicamente sobre el ALCA, Plan Colombia y Plan Puebla Panamá. El 2007 se tomo como un tiempo para conocer y compartir con algunos de los organismos afectados por estas políticas y respondiendo con resistencia. En 2008 hormigas y abejas locales formarían enjambres para recorrer la regiónes donde existe interés para compartir mas historias, experiencias, los gráficos y colaborando con la creación de nuevas herramientas pedagógicas y resistencia cultural.
Un aspecto integral de la misión pedagógica de la Colmena es para asegurar que el resultado del proceso colaborativa de investigación- la ilustración- regresa a las comunidades mas afectadas por las realidades detalladas en los gráficos. Mientras que personas viviendo la realidad de la intervención Estadounidense en Colombia y los mega proyectos del PPP saben demasiado bien lo que esta sucediendo, el gráfico funciona como una herramienta para facilitar comunicación de las luchas de las comunidades adicionalmente acomodando dialogo sobre las realidades en otras partes.
En nuestro trabajo con comunidades vamos a específicamente pero no exclusivamente usar herramientas de comunicación basados en imágenes. El equipo de proyecto facilitara el aprendizaje basado en lo gráfico, animando la participación y compartiendo experiencias por medio de métodos de educación popular.
Mientras que la presentación y el dialogo incluyera todas las personas de las comunidades, Polinizaciones principalmente se enfocarían en trabajar con jóvenes que ya están activos de alguna manera en su comunidad. La juventud frecuentemente esta llena de energía y creatividad en organización pero a veces les falta los puentes para conectar o ayudar organizándose con sus mayores alrededor de estos temas desafiadores como la militarización y los megaproyectos. Usando los murales portátiles ilustrados densamente a la vista son una manera de provocar interés y curiosidad para poder platicar con jóvenes activos en luchas sociales y ambientales sobre la falta de materiales accesibles, interesantes y hasta entretenidos sobre los efectos de las políticas económicas y la militarización en la región. Como herramientas que inspiran y facilitan difusión amplia simultáneamente un cuenta cuentos particularmente personal, estas imágenes caricaturales en tinta atraen a la juventud y ya han creado reacciones positivas sobresalientes de grupos trabajando con los gráficos en Colombia.
Desde de el 2000, el Colectivo de Diseño la Colmena ha trabajado para desarrollar un cuerpo de obras gráficas educativas creados por medio de investigación directa entre nuestra Colmena y las comunidades mas afectadas. Usando la ilustración como el enfoque de nuestros talleres, discusiones y cuenta cuentos gráficos, la Colmena esta desarrollando una estrategia excepcional de una pedagogía basada en imagines mucho mas interesantes e incluso para diversas audiencias. Buscamos romper los temas académicos, complejos, intensos y abstractos con imágenes que demuestran los efectos de la globalización multinacional en nuestra cotidianidad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bees of the Beehive Collective are excited to share and spread the word of the launching of Polinizaciones. Polinizaciones is a collaboration between the Beehive and various communities, groups and people in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador & Panama to distribute the hive..s graphic trilogy regarding globalization in America, specifically the FTAA, Plan Colombia & Plan Puebla Panama. This past year of 2007 was spent meeting and sharing with just some of the organisms affected in the region by these policies and responding with resistance. In 2008 local ants and bees will swarm the regions interested sharing stories, experiences, the graphics and skills sharing with the creation of new pedagogy tools and cultural resistance.
Yet an integral part of the Beehive's popular education mission is to ensure that the results of their collaborative research process - the finished illustrations - are returned to the communities that are most affected by the realities depicted in the graphics. While people living the daily reality of US intervention in Colombia and the mega-projects of the PPP know quite well what they are experiencing, the graphics serve as a tool to facilitate communication about communities' struggles as well as for fostering dialogue about the realities in different places.
In our work with the communities in Colombia and Panamá we will specifically, but not exclusively, use image-based communication tools. The project team will facilitate this graphic-based learning, encouraging the sharing experiences through methods of popular education.
While our presentations and dialogues will include whole communities, Polinizaciones will focus primarily on outreach to youth and young adults who are already active in one way or another in their communities. Youth are often full of energy and creativity for organizing, but may lack the channels to network or help organize with their elders around such daunting issues as militarization and infrastructure development. Using the Beehive's visually dense, portable murals as a way to engage youth in social justice organizing will help address a lack of readily accessible, engaging, even humorous materials about the effects of economic policies and militarization in the region. As inspiring tools that enable widely-distributed yet highly-personal storytelling, these pen and ink, almost comic-book-esque images attract youth and have already generated overwhelming positive responses from groups working with these educational tools in Colombia.
Since 2000, the Beehive Design Collective has worked to develop a body of educational artwork informed by firsthand, grassroots research. Using the graphics as a focal point for workshops, discussions and 'picture-lectures', the Beehive is developing an innovative strategy for image-based education that is highly accessible to diverse audiences. We seek to break down overwhelming, academic, complex, and abstract topics through images that depict the effects of corporate globalization on our everyday lives.

| H.R. 1955 |
[01 Nov 2007|12:53am] |
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. The Bill passed 404-6.
This Bill criminalizes any act of, or promotion of, anything the Government interprets to be "radical" or "extremist." This may include Animal Rights, Environmentalism, Socialism, Labor Organizing, anything that may upset the status quo, hell anything that may upset a politician. And that's the scary thing here; it's entirely up to State interpretation.
Don't let this Bill pass the senate! Call your Congressperson, tell them you are NOT HAPPY with their vote. Call your Senators, tell them that if they wish to keep their jobs, they had better NOT SUPPORT this bill. Use every means available to you. Phone Calls, Letter Writings, Public Demonstration, Firebombings. Don't Let this Bill Pass. Talk to your friends, CoWorkers, talk to your Parents, your Professors, your Teachers. Talk to EVERYONE.
Educate. Organize. Mobilize. Make It Happen.

The other day I ran across the integration of people and wildlife done at the national forest. http://www.nationalforest.org/
This got me thinking. Why can't other developments do such a good job of making people and wildlife work together? Why can't parks, housing developments and the like be more integrated? I'd like to see more trails, more parks that and such that are CENTRAL to the development. Doing so would be a win-win for developers and wildlife.
Any ideas on how to do this at the lowest cost? My thinking is that the design work is one of the obstacles. I was looking at a park they are building by a development next door. One idea I had was to take photos and landscape countour drawings and have people submit changes on how they would do the park.
The goal would be integrate x number of buildings into the landscape with minimal impact and maximum benifit for the people working and living there.
Break the work down into
1. High level layout plans.
2. More details of sidewalk routing, selection of where to build, areas to re-landscape, parking lot site selection.
3. Polish details of tree selection, landscape type-bush-flower selection, interior layout/exterior design choices for the buildings.
Make the work such that ANYONE can help work on designing project if they have a computer. You get paid, but not much.
One idea I had was to use something like Amazons mechanical turk http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=15879911 This would allow the work to be setup for global workers to access. Maybe have "volunteer directors" who direct the design process but don't get paid.
Have the city council make it mandatory the developer pay for the work and take ideas into the plan for the new project.

Altered Oceans. A well done yet depressing look at the problems with Earths oceans. Videos and photography done by the LA times tells a sobering tale of a ocean in crisis. I knew the problem with plastics was bad back in 94, when I noticed that while crossing the pacific. On our ship moving at 18 knots towards Hawaii, I'd stare into the ocean as we moved over the Pacific blue. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was like every five minutes I'd see a plastic chunk of something floating by. If you could see plastic trash every few minutes, I knew their must be a huge amount of plastic in such a vast ocean. The problem seems to have gotten much worse today in 2007. A sad tale that makes you want to get up and do something to help:

Check out Losing Georgia. If you have never used, google earth, it might be time. This site lets you see some of the effects of development. The Google earth download is quick and makes it much easier to see the magnitude of the destruction and sprawl in this state. I noticed long ago that Georgia has incredible sprawl. And I've never been there! I noticed it when looking at maps and such that the cities and housing seems to stretch into an unending carpet of suburbia and connected towns that seem out of the matrix movie.
It's a little depressing. You might want to do something to cheer yourself up after seeing forests being chewed up for a continuous wave of mini markets, unending housing developments, and ever bigger roads to make it all work. Everything is so spread out. Your mind must go numb after driving around the place.
The photos they have taken don't quite make you want to jump up and down and cheer for humanity. It makes me just question our destination as people on spaceship earth.
But cheer up. It's obvious people are concerned, at least the people who made the website and took the thousands of pictures and documentation. We as a people need to look at this work and understand how we can do things differently. Do we all want to live like this? Live in suburbs where nothing is available by walking? How can we enginner places where the automobile is not integral to survival?
There must be a way!
How could have this be different?

| Action: tigers |
[30 Apr 2007|12:01pm] |
There are fewer than 5000 wild tigers left in Asia.
China - where tiger products are officially banned - are breeding tigers on farms in the hope that China will soon allow the sale of products from captive bred tigers.
More than 4000 semi-tame tigers live on these farms (a disgrace in themselves but that's another issue) and the investors in these tiger businesses are pressuring the Chinese government to allow them to sell tiger products.
Reopening even limited legal trade in tiger products from farms would reignite a demand for wild tiger products. It also would give international crime syndicates an easy avenue for "laundering" illegally killed wild tigers from India, Russia and other countries, making law enforcement nearly impossible.
In essence, legal trade in tiger products from China's tiger farms would spark an open season on tigers in the wild.
Please click the link below to add your name to the campaign to end the trade in tiger products.
Two actions:
- add a photo to the tiger mosaic which will be presented to delegates from 171 countries at the June meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species
- sign the petition to be presented to China's leaders to ask them to keep the tiger products ban in place.

| Action: UK wildlife crime |
[13 Apr 2007|06:56pm] |
Metropolitan police budget cuts threaten wildlife crime prevention
London's Wildlife Crime Unit (WCU) plays a vital role in uncovering and stamping out the illegal trade in endangered species, their body parts and derivatives.
WWF have recently learned that Metropolitan Police budget cuts will reduce the WCU by half, severely hampering their fight against wildlife crime.
The budget shortfall is a mere £80,000 a year, a drop in the ocean compared to the overall Metropolitan Police Authority budget of £2.5 billion.
After habitat destruction, the biggest direct threat to wild species is the global trade in illegal wildlife. It has been estimated that this trade is worth around $5 billion per year.
A cut in WCU funding would send out a dangerous signal that wildlife crime is a low priority for London's police force and severely hamper the Unit's ability to combat London's black market for illegal wildlife.
The UK is a hub for the global illegal wildlife trade with more than one million items being seized by HM customs between 1996 and 2000.
In London, the demand for elephant ivory, traditional medicines containing tigers, shahtoosh shawls and many other endangered species is fuelling demand and pushing some species closer to extinction.
The UK is a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). CITES strictly controls, or in the case of the rarest species, bans international trade in endangered species, their body parts and derivatives.
But without a properly funded WCU it will be almost impossible to uphold the laws protecting endangered species in the UK.

Email Hilary Benn MP and ask him to protect the Congo rainforest. Pre-drafted email, just enter your details and click.
http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/forests/forests.cfm?ucidparam=20070410184948&CFID=7368223&CFTOKEN=10515999
The Congo rainforests of central Africa are a natural wonder we can ill-afford to lose. After the Amazon, it is the second largest rainforest on Earth and a major biodiversity hotspot with species such as gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos. Millions of people also depend on the rainforest for their survival and like all large forests, it is crucially important for regulating the local and global climate.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), this natural wonder is under threat. International logging companies are causing social chaos and wreaking environmental havoc. The World Bank, by far the largest donor to the DRC, is failing to stop this destruction whilst the rainforest is being sold off under the illusion that it will alleviate poverty in one of the poorest countries on Earth.
Moreover, our investigations have shown that taxes paid by the logging companies, which are supposed to fund essential services like schools and hospitals for local communities, are not filtering back to local communities. Furthermore, the logging companies are entering into agreements directly with local people who, in return for timber worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, are receiving gifts of beer, salt and sugar which can be worth no more than $100.
Hilary Benn, Secretary of State at the Department for International Development, is the UK governor of the World Bank and is attending the spring meeting this weekend. Write to him now and ask him to use his influence to ensure there is a real future for the rainforest with proper safeguards put in place to protect it.

Victoria’s Secret Victory
and Birthday Party
for Wetlands Activism Collective
On Saturday, March 24, at 7:30 PM, Wetlands Activism Collective, in conjunction with Times Up!, will hold a party to commemorate Victoria’s Secret’s recent commitment to phase out the use of paper pulp from endangered forests and increase use of recycled paper in its catalogs and to announce an upcoming National Day of Protest, April 21, targetting catalog companies that have yet to institute significant reforms. Victoria’s Secret’s announcement comes at the heels of 2 years of protests, street theater, and civil disobedience by Wetlands Activism Collective, ForestEthics, and other environmental groups. The party will also commemorate Wetlands Activism Collective’s 18th birthday. Founded as the social justice and environmental arm of the late, lamented Wetlands Preserve nightclub, Wetlands Activism Collective has devoted almost two decades to successful advocacy campaigns on issues like forest defense, anti-consumerism, animal rights, anti-globalization, indigenous people’s rights, resource waste, and labor rights.
The party will feature music with DJ Thadeaus and surprise guests, free food (prepared by Freegan.info; a project of Wetlands Activism Collective); a freegan fashion show; updates on forest defense campaigns featuring activists from Wetlands Activism Collective, Rainforest Relief, and ForestEthics, environmental films; and slideshows of exciting images from forest defense protests and direct actions.
No RSVP is required. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. The party will be held at Times Up! environmental space at 49 East Houston Street between Mott and Mulberry. Take the B, D, F, or V to Broadway-Lafayette, 6 to Bleeker Street, or the N/R to Prince Street. For more information, call Wetlands Activism Collective at (201) 928-2831 or email activism@wetlands-preserve.org.

Hello everyone. I have just launched a new website about environmental issues from dangers of deodorant to energy use to toxic living. I really need objective opinions and critiques on how to improve the site. Do you find the content interesting, does it catch you attention, would you want to see something else there? I'm still working on it and updating it. This is very important to me, so please guys, if you have time take a look and tell me what you think. I am new to building websites. http://www.downwithbasics.com
(moderators, if you find this post inappropriate, by all means, delete it. I just thought that this would be the right type of community to ask for opinions on the subject environment. I am sorry if I have misread the rules).
