COP26 – Call to Action! We all must revise our relationship with nature and reorient our association with consumerism!

« I do not see a delegation for the Four Footed. I see no seat for the Eagles.
We forget & we consider ourselves superior. But we are after all a mere part of Creation.
We stand somewhere between the mountain & the Ant.»
– Chief Oren Lyons, Seneca Nation, in an address to the Non-Governmental Organizations of the United Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, 1977

«The last 500 years witnessed a ‘swift, ongoing, radical reorganization of life on Earth without geological precedent’ – the arrival of European colonialism, imperialism and the associated expansion of capitalist economic systems leading to the transferral of diseases, plants, animals, forms of land use, and administrative systems to all corners of the world.»
According to the UN, we are entering an «era of pandemics» caused by deforestation, habitat loss, intensive agriculture and wildlife trafficking.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that one of themost…

Renvoyons nos enfants dans les arbres — JEREMIKARUS

Ce devrait être une interro obligatoire dans les écoles. Combien d’œufs une poule pond-t-elle par jour ? Les vaches hibernent-t-elle ? À quel endroit le soleil se lève-t-il ? On serait surpris des résultats. Les poules prendrai deux, trois, ou six oeufs par jour, le soleil se lèverait à l’ouest, etc. J’ai fait le tests…[…]

Grožđe – Grapes
Ne treba smatrati da grožđe ima previše ugljenih hidrata, šećera ili kalorija da bi bilo dobro po zdravlje. Upravo je obrnuto. Kao i banane, grožđe je voće prve klase koje podstiče dobrobit najvišeg mogućeg nivoa. Manje je slatko nego što mislimo, više se odlikuje oporošću, koja je ključna ljekovita odlika. Ta kiselost ukazuje na prisustvo fitohemikalija koje su bitne za funkcionisanje bubrega. Ako ste nekad čuli da imate povišen nivo kreatinina, to znači da vam je bubrezima oslabila sposobnost da uklanjaju i luče štetne proizvode iz krvotoka. Grožđe je najbolji tonik za bubrege – njegove fitohemikalije vezuju se za otpad koji je bubrezima teško da filtriraju.
Mnogi ljudi zabrinuti su i za zdravlje jetre. Kao i trešnje, grožđe je odlična namirnica za čišćenje jetre. Njegove fitohemikalije mogu da uklone naslage, prerađenu hranu i nus-proizvode koji mogu da uzrokuju kongestiju režnjeva jetre. A za one koji traže digestivne koristi, kožica grožđa…

Without control
If we lack awareness, whatever will happen will let us react without control.
Do not let external events govern our actions.

Climate justice and social justice for the Caribbean: a statement from Panos Caribbean ahead of COP26
Remember the slogan “1.5 to stay alive” at the Paris Agreement signing in 2015? Well, it was always much morethan a slogan for the Caribbean.
“Since 2009, more than a hundred Small Island Developing States, Least Developed Countries and many others have been calling for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels to prevent the worst of climate change impacts. The inclusion of a 1.5°C temperature limit in the 2015 Paris Agreement was a major victory for vulnerable countries.”
The regional NGO Panos Caribbean has issued a lengthy, challenging and powerful statementahead of the Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, COP26. I particularly like the final section, in which it is stressed: We must also look at ourselves, and bring the fight for climate justice in our own policies, behaviours, attitudes and actions.

Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to hold landmark hearing on extractive industries, rights, and climate change in the Caribbean
Environmental justice – and climate justice – and related human rights issues are pushing themselves further and further forward in the regional agenda. On October 8, the United Nations Security Council “recognized, for the first time, that having a clean, healthy and sustainable environment is a human right.” High Commissioner for Human Rights Michele Bachelet stated:
“We must build on this momentum to move beyond the false separation of environmental action and protection of human rights. It is all too clear that neither goal can be achieved without the other.”
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, October 8, 2021
