ALERT! Resist Monsanto: Reassert Your Faith in Non-GMO Seeds and Properly Labeled Unnatural Foods
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on August 25th, 2012
"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders."
- Henry David Thoreau, Faith in a Seed
TAKE ACTION to protect your seeds and thus healthy, natural food from Monsanto's GMOs
TAKE ACTION!
From seeds come all life, power, wealth and well-being. Control over seeds and knowing whether our food products have been genetically modified [search] means control over our lives, our food safety, and our freedom. Open pollinated, non-genetically modified seeds are a human right. We must not recognize any law that illegitimately makes seed the private property of corporations. And we must assert the right to know what we're eating, through labeling of all genetically engineered foods. It is time to reclaim Thoreau's faith in a seed from Monsanto. Please send and share this alert, and join the many initiatives globally to do so.

EARTH MEANDERS: This I Know to Be Ecological Truth
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on August 18th, 2012
Abrupt climate change and ecosystem collapse, caused by human industrial growth at expense of ecology, are poised to utterly destroy our one shared biosphere, and thus virtually all life including humanity.
"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole." Malcolm X

Ecological Internet is pleased to work with http://www.arbtech.co.uk/ to bring you this site.
Earth is an ancient organism, alive for 3.5 billion years. Only a few hundred years ago the disease of industrial capitalist growth arose, and is killing her by destroying her ecosystems. The current dominant economic paradigm mistakes ecosystem habitats which are necessary for life for disposable resources to be logged, mined, and burnt. Ancient, naturally evolved ecosystems are being stripped of life, largely for growth in throw-away consumer junk. As a result, water, soil, climate, and food systems are failing.
Human history can be summarized as the rich screwing the poor, stealing their work's surplus, while trashing ecosystems, at the point of a gun. For ...
Ecological Internet: In the Struggle for Global Ecological Sustainability for the Long-Haul
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on August 7th, 2012
** UPDATE: Small Is Beautiful - 2012 Mid-Year Fundraiser - $20,800 donated from 222 donors, $4,200 yet to go. We really must raise at least half - $2K - if we are to have necessary funding for the rest of year: http://bit.ly/EI2012mid
Dear EI friends and fellow Earth lovers,
Ecological Internet and Dr. Glen Barry will be taking the remainder of August as a vacation. On the urging of our supporters, we have been encouraged to think of the sustainability of our own selves as well, and this is the third year we will be taking time to rest at the end of August.
Ecological Internet and predecessors have been providing a consistent biocentric, deep ecology message on the Internet for over two decades. We have pioneered the use of the Internet to achieve environmental conservation, and have participated in hundreds of on-the-ground victories, while raising awareness of profoundly important matters of global ecological sustainability.
Our 2012 mid-year fund-raiser is drawing to a close. We fell some $4,000 short of our goal, yet are generally pleased with the outcome. It would help these efforts TREMENDOUSLY if we could raise at least $2,000 more to take us to the year-end fund-raiser. Please donate what you ...
RELEASE: With Sudden Greenland Ice Melt, Reiterating Declaration of Planetary Ecological Emergency
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on July 25th, 2012
Given dramatic Greenland ice sheet melt and historic U.S. drought's threat to global food supply, Ecological Internet renews calls for urgent measures to avoid global ecosystem collapse, achieve sustainable development, and sustain global ecosystems and the biosphere
By Ecological Internet, http://www.climateark.org/
Contact: Dr. Glen Barry, glenbarry@ecologicalinternet.org
(Madison, WI) - Nearly the entire massive ice sheet that blankets Greenland suddenly started melting this month, even its coldest places. In just a few days, the amount of thawed ice sheet surface skyrocketed from 40 percent to 97 percent. This continues the shocking heating and melting of the Arctic, which is severely impacting the Northern hemisphere's weather including contributing to America's dramatic drought and heat wave - through changes in the jet and gulf streams.
According to a NASA press release [1] which includes a stunning satellite interpretation of the melt about half of Greenland's surface ice sheet naturally melts during an average summer. But data from three independent satellites this July showed that in that on July 8, about 40 percent of the ice sheet had undergone thawing at or near the surface. In just a few days, the melting dramatically accelerated and an estimated 97 percent of the ice sheet surface had ...

EARTH MEANDERS: U.S. Abrupt Climate Change 2012: Where Will You Be the Day Earths Death Became Unavoidable?
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on July 9th, 2012
The worlds and especially Americas environment has gone mad during the summer of 2012. Abrupt climate change is clearly upon us, and life-giving ecosystems are visibly failing, portending doom for our shared biosphere, all life, and humanity. Given overshoot of ecological boundaries, and failure to pursue concerted national and global sustainable development and ecological sustainability policy, 2012 may well be the year Earths death through collapse of its one shared biosphere becomes inevitable.

Abrupt Climate Change Is NowFundamentally the meaning of life is ecosystems [search]. Without a healthy, intact, diverse and operational environment - humanity and all life simply cannot exist. As a result of the human ecocidal system of industrial growth, local ecosystems are being destroyed globally for insatiable human consumption. Life of every sort including Gaia, the Earth system herself is dying.
Earth's biosphere - the thin mantle of life from underground to the top of the atmosphere, which self-regulates the Earth System to keep it habitable - is collapsing. Ecological science knows this with certainty in disciplines including planetary boundaries, limits to growth, global change and ecology. If nothing is done, massive social and ecological collapse ...
ALERT! Tell Brazil Rio+20 Host: The Future We Want Is Not 60 Amazon Rainforest Destroying Dams
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on June 20th, 2012
By Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal
TAKE ACTION to protect the Amazon from industrial dam destruction with sustainable development based upon standing rainforests
Brazils government host of the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development devoted to sustainable development and sustaining ecosystems is planning to build 60 dams on tributaries to the Amazon -- including the controversial $11 billion Belo Monte project. Industrial destruction of intact primary rainforest ecosystems based upon ecocide and genocide is not the future we want a motto of Rio+20. These plans for massive Amazon dam construction reveal Brazils meaningless rhetoric regarding environmental sustainability and sustainable development, as they hypocritically continue destroying key regional and global ecosystems. Brazils deceptive doublespeak regarding sustaining ecology must not be allowed to stand unchallenged during Rio+20. Stand with brave indigenous protestors who recently dismantled a portion of Belo Montes construction, as we call upon all Rio+20 delegates to demand Brazil cancel Belo Monte and other Amazon rainforest destroying dams, embracing instead a program of sustainable development based upon standing primary rainforests.

Ecological Internet: Courage
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on June 3rd, 2012
Small Is Beautiful EI 2012 Mid-Year Fund-Raiser 54% to goal $11,395 to go. Gift Earth and EI at: http://climateark.org/shared/donate/
Dear Earth friends,
Ecological Internet (EI) and I courageously speak ecological and other truths to power based upon ecological science, knowledge, and wisdom nearly every day. Such ecological truth telling is a necessary precondition for sustaining global ecology, and we ask for your support now to keep it going at http://climateark.org/shared/donate/. EI is committed to fearlessly reporting upon the poor state of global ecosystems, and to taking all judicious and necessary actions to sustain forever our one biosphere.
Ecological Internets campaigns promote sufficient policies to achieve global ecological sustainability. We have taken radically truthful positions supporting standing old forests, resisting geoengineering hubris, and the risks posed to ecology by fascism and militarism. Over and over again EI displays the courage to do what is right and needed, rather than what is expedient and greenwash. The Utne Reader has described our work as visionary and compared it favorably to that of Nelson Mandela.
ALERT! Protest Sea Shepherd Leader Paul Watsons Extradition on Shark Poacher and Whaler Accusations
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on May 18th, 2012
TAKE ACTION HERE NOW!
Paul Watson, the founder and leader of the aggressive and highly effective marine conservation group Sea Shepherd known mainly for disrupting whale hunts, documented on the reality TV program Whale Wars has been detained in Germany at the request of Costa Rica, which wants him extradited on trumped up charges from shark fin poachers [search] and whale killers. Ecological Internet strongly supports Sea Shepherd and their forthcoming global campaign to save sharks from extinction. We agree with Captain Hammarstedt that Captain Paul Watson belongs on a ship on the high seas protecting sharks, whales, and other marine life, not in some jail cell here in Germany.
EARTH MEANDERS: Raping Kids and Earth
Posted by Water Conservation Blog on May 14th, 2012
What kind of sickos destroy children and ecosystems? Well actually, a surprising number do. Most are against both types of victimization of innocence and purity - as long as you dont talk or do anything about it when it happens.
By Dr. Glen Barry, Ecological Internet
Earth Meanders come from Earth's Newsdesk
Earth is so beautiful, so perfect in its intimate interconnectivity, as are humans in their ability to create and transcend, to pass down knowledge, love, and ecological habitat to our children. Yet we know especially direct victims of childhood rape and ecocide that Earth and her humanity are filled with a dark, narcissistic self-destructiveness as well.
Two of the very worst evils stalking the land are those who sexually abuse children, and those who wage ecocide upon ecosystems. In fact, they are two sides of the same coin. This is going to be a deeply revealing and challenging essay. If you dont think freely with an open mind; and are, well, dumb and insensitive, you may not want to try.
