"We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and man--all belong to the same family". Chief Seattle

Extinction...

Loss of birds and butterflies may be a sign of major global extinction
The Associated Press Thursday, March 18, 2004
WASHINGTON A detailed survey of birds and butterflies in Britain shows a population decline of 54 to 71 percent, a finding that suggests the world may be undergoing another major extinction.

Researchers said the study helped support the theory that the sixth big extinction in Earth's history is under way, and this one is caused by humans.

In a series of population surveys that combed virtually every square yard and meter of England, Scotland and Wales over 40 years, more than 20,000 volunteers counted each bird, butterfly and native plant they could find. An analysis of the findings appears this week in the journal Science. via...IHT

Whaling

Whaling 'too cruel to continue' By Alex Kirby BBC News Online environment correspondent

Animal welfare campaigners say methods of killing whales are so inhumane that all whaling operations should cease.

A coalition of 140 groups, Whalewatch, says many whales do not die quickly when hit, and tests to decide exactly when a whale is dead are inadequate.

The well-known UK naturalist Sir David Attenborough says in a foreword that Whalewatch's report shows "there is no humane way to kill a whale at sea". via...BBCi

Green Glass



A recycling phenomenon that started in South Africa in 1992 and rapidly spread throughout Europe is starting to turn notions of tableware fashion, art and environmentalism upside down in the United States as well.

What makes this the most unusual recycled glassware company in the world? Each goblet that is crafted is made from the actual bottle, with its intrinsic color and shape maintained in the finished glass!

Green Glass does not crush, melt and remold like traditional recyclers. Instead, see the image below which shows how differently this company does it!

Stars call for ban on snares

Stars call for ban on snares by MIKE MERRITT

ACTRESSES Jenny Seagrove and Annette Crosbie have written to the Scottish Executive in a last-ditch bid to get snaring in the Scottish countryside banned.

They want MSPs to reject the part of the new Nature Conservation (Scotland) Bill which will allow the "barbaric" trapping to remain legal. The bill is set to become law in a few weeks when MSPs vote on it.

But last week the environment and rural development committee - which is scrutinising the bill - refused to ban snaring. via...The Scotsman

Ozone

U.S. Requests Exemptions to Ozone Pact for Chemical By ANDREW C. REVKIN

The United States is seeking to make more American farmers and industries exempt from an international ban on methyl bromide, a popular pesticide that damages Earth's protective ozone layer, Bush administration officials said yesterday.

Last year, the administration sought to exclude a variety of farmers and food producers from the ban, which takes effect next year under a treaty outlawing substances that harm the ozone layer. The exempt businesses would be allowed 21.9 million pounds of methyl bromide next year and 20.8 million pounds in 2006 in uses like fumigating stored grain and treating golf-course sod and strawberry fields. via...NYT

Barcelona and the Universal Forum of Cultures to host World Environment Day 2004
This Year's Global Theme: Wanted! Seas and Oceans - Dead or Alive?

The city of Barcelona, known for its commitment to culture and urban renewal, will be hosting World Environment Day 2004, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The annual World Environment Day (WED) event, celebrated around the globe each year on or around 5 June, will take place during the nearly five-month long Universal Forum of Cultures that is being hosted by the Barcelona City Council, the Catalan Autonomous Government and the Spanish Government. Contact Eric Falt

WED, commemorated each year on 5 June is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

WED was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Another resolution, adopted by the General Assembly the same day, led to the creation of UNEP.

Information on the day, Skolia, posters, fact sheets and ideas on how to celebrate WED can be found at www.unep.org/wed/2004

"Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough.

We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it.

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."

Saint Francis of Assisi
