  9. from Cesar Maxit this poster simply says ‘migrant’ between two stylized milkweed plants (what monarchs use for food and shelter). at the top and bottom are precolumbian butterfly pictograms (aztec, mayan, etc). designed to be painted by hand in migrant communities, the wings of the butterfly are composed of 4 power fists representing migration in the 4 directions. there’s also a simple image of a family at the tip of each wing. the white spots on the wing of the butterfly are actually footsteps showing a northern path on the left wing and a returning south migratory path on the right wing.

  11. I love this as an example of visually stunning, low-tech art. I saw him live at the Vancouver PuSh festival in 2011. It was fabulous.

  12. This photo is of an inn in Switzerland: Amidst the southeast face of the Ebenalpstock Mountain are two caves under whose vaults a stone block house and chapel with a small spire are hidden: the Wildkirchli.The caves are famous sites of prehistoric finds. An excellent mountain trail takes you there from the valley station. The walk to the caves takes only 15 minutes. The hike leads through the Wildkirchli Caves up to Wildkirchli and then to the Aescher Mountain Inn, whose image has been transmitted around the world: The house is nestled precariously in the giant rock vault and offers an unusual setting for events of all kinds (Open May to October, mattress accommodation for 50 persons)

  13. climateadaptation: barackobama: “Over the past four years, we’ve doubled the amount of electricity America can generate from wind—from 25 gigawatts to 50 gigawatts. And to put that in perspective, that’s like building 12 new Hoover Dams that are powering homes all across the country. We doubled the amount of electricity we generate from solar energy, too. And combined, these energy sources are enough power to make sure that 13 million homes have reliable power and support the paychecks that help more than 100,000 Americans provide for their families. “That’s not imaginary. That is real. And that’s what’s at stake in November. Thirty-seven thousand American jobs are on the line if the wind energy tax credit is allowed to expire like my opponent thinks they should. And unlike Gov. Romney, I want to stop giving $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies to big oil companies that have rarely been more profitable so that we can keep investing in homegrown energy sources like wind that have never been more promising. That’s part of the choice in this election.” —President Obama in Iowa today http://www.barackobama.com/wind

  14. when i stumbled on this photo, it was labeled as a demonstration of water filtration/purifcation. however, the water was _probably_ clean to begin with, so even the best case scenario _probably_ didn’t purify the water. unless my assumptions are  incorrect, this photo would have been better described as a demonstration of soil erosion. the framed diagram next to the containers (which appear to show topsoil runoff) seems to support this.

  15. Cool idea. But if this takes off, I’d like to see statistical comparisons between Conventional Bike Helmet and Invisible Bike Helmet rates of failure.

  16. Fighting Climate Change, One Plate at a Time: A Filipino perspective on food production and climate change

    Congressman Teddy Casiño addresses the House of Congress on the links between food, climate, and the Luntiang Lunes Bill. An excerpt:

    Our geography has always caused us weather problems but year after year it has worsened due to climate change. This is not surprising anymore as the Philippines has long been cited among the most vulnerable countries affected by climate change. The recent report by the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) and the German Alliance Development Works listed the Philippines as top 3 among countries facing the highest risk against climate change. 

    The logical question that should be asked, is, how do we mitigate, if not stop climate change?

    This is the message that our students bring with them today. Their call is “Fight climate change one plate at a time.”

    Yes, one plate at a time.

    Most of us may not know it, I myself was surprised to learn, that changing our diet from meat to vegetables and other plant-based food can reduce greenhouse gas emissions which are the main cause of climate change.

    According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the livestock industry was responsible for at least 7.516 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2006 alone, or 18% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. In an updated calculation by World Watch Institute, the estimate is that the livestock industry and their byproducts account for 51% of total greenhouse gas emissions, or 32.56 billion tons a year.

    Aside from these, grazing areas for livestock and sourcing of animal feed clear three million hectares of forest a year, which would otherwise have absorbed carbon emissions.

    That is why eating less meat and more vegetables is not only good for the body, its also good for the planet.

    And how can we eat more vegetables and thus help fight climate change? Well, by doing it one plate at a time.
