Project 10 Billion

Sorry, I have not updated for a while on this page. I’ve been blogging elsewhere, other sites like; 1) Toronto Star (just one so far, as every time I have something to write, it is too late as they limit their comments) 2) Newsvine and 3) TV Ontario,  The Agenda (Forums). All three under the name “Project 10 Billion”.  What else!

I’ve been saving up newspaper clippings for a little while and I am now ready to comment on them. Here goes.  Actually I wrote a long entry yesterday. Published it. It seemed successful but when I checked a few hours later itwas no longer there. Apparently I had set my line limit very low, too low. Lost a couple hours of blogs and may never write it word for word as was again. The ideas will be the same. anyhow here goes!

 

January 24th, 2009 from;  24 hour(a Toronto free publication)  Ecpzone section/page

At odds with conservation, by David Suzuki.  It is an article about the Province of Ontario pondering expanding hunting licensing to include a list of smaller animals in a certain Provincial park. Some of these new animals added to an already legal larger game one includes, foxes, porcupines, weasels,  groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, some amphibians, some birds and snapping turtles.

He ends the article with “We need to act in a precautionary way now to minimize our actions that affect the ability of species to survive and evolve”.  A couple or few years ago now I wrote somewhere on my MSN blogs or on TakingITGlobal.org one and almost same comment. What I brought up then was how we have stopped our farm animals from evolving. Of course my comments were never publicized as are Mr. Suzuki’s. I am not cutting him down but just saying that some of my blogs may years later be affecting others. There may have been hundreds if not thousands of people before us who may have written or stated the same thing. I did not follow up if hunters are now allowed to hunt these smaller game. The pleasures of hunt for fun must end!

 

February 24, 2009  24 hour;  Barker (from The Price is Right) urges elephant to be moved from zoo.

An Edmonton elephant (Lucy) has been alone and sick since September 2007. He, like many others and myself would like her to be moved to an elephant sanctuary located in the U.S. (Tennessee).  One of my written devised blogged about pet projects is to try to link elephants around the planet via the Internet. This could very easily be done. Sight and sound devices abound every where. Adjusting the equipment to all of their frequencies is also easy in this day and age.

There are two main species of elephants and possibly like us many hundreds of dialects or evolved languages.  For the older animals it may not be too easy but if we concentrate on the younger calves, in a few years we may rejoice or swim in very positive results. Let us help these very intelligent animals. Pushing this further we can easily make some kind of keyboard or joystick addapted for their trunk use.

Vote for Global Elephant Chat, for the Health of them!

 

February 26, 2009  Metro (a free Toronto daily)  Big melt in Antarctica. Warming spreading: Experts

The Pine Island Glacier and the Smith Glacier together are losing around 103 billion tons of water and ice per year.

For those who think that Global warming is not an issue important enough to be close to the top of concerns or a Political agenda are blind or just plain stupid. Heat pollution caused by our burning of all fuels, fossil and nuclear with their connected appliances, lights, frictions, and machinery from Mankind’s ways is the culprit.  All Economies in every country have to take a back seat in order to avert a Global catastrophe of extinctive proportion.

 

March 14, 2009  Saturday Star (Toronto Star);  1) Nannies trapped in bogus jobs.

Legal Master & Slave arrangements.  Those with too much wealth hire people to do everything for them, including raising their children and cleaning their toilets. Many women and ladies are lured to this  country (and manyothers) with promises of work placement as Nannies. There are laws protecting them here but once arrived many who do not know the laws and  are taken advantage of.

There are as well those, the most beautiful and young ones, once here, whose only given choice or by force end up in the Gray and Black Market strip clubs and prostitution rings. 

Parents should raise their own children and those who physically can should wash their own toilets! That should go for everyone on this planet.  And we call ourselves civilized! Legal slavery rubber stamped by Governments.

Legal door for the Human Trafficking rings/links. 

2) First 50 days gone in a flash. Obama

We see and hear more of him here in Canada then all of our politicians put together. Those with wealth and a lot of influence (power) do not like him much, but the poorer and the average person does. As he as those here cannot challenge directly (yet) the/our evolved unfair, unjust and destructive “Free Markets” ways, he is starting to make an impact. As the so-called bailouts of financial institutions and automakers by Governments becomes more prevalent they now have more say as to how rewards are given/distributed.

I rate him 7.8 on 10 so far. As for Bush well, maybe a 4, if that! The axil of evil an, look in the mirror!

 

March 16, 2009 24 hour; 1) Water shortage looms. A direct link or association to/with Global Warming. Not enough priority given by the elected.  If NA would have a three year drought in the Mid-West like in Afghanistan the fight for the waters from the mountain tops of the Rockies (what is left) and The Great Lakes would be enough reason for war.

Water is the Gold of Life. Governments allow business and individuals to use as much and how they please for the sake of the economies or the Economic Wars. Keeping, the now have, happy is much more important then the long term effects. Blind idiots in pseudo-power.

2)  Trees alone won’t save us. Trees absorb only about 18% of the  or 4.8 billion tonnes of the carbon that we humans release into the air via the burning of fossil fuels. About half of that 4.8 billion tonnes is absorbed by the oceans leaving about 15 billion per year accumulating in our atmosphere. The carbon absorbed by the oceans we are quite certain is having a big impact on all marine life as well. Dwindling fish stock and quality.

With all this known, why do we allow millions of people to commute to created work on a daily basis? Not only that but we are not allowed to challenge the way things are, as again, it threatens the economies.

3) Chemicals killing fish.  Our petro-chemical and pharmaceutical industries have a free reign to produce for the sake of creating work and the economies. Of course there may be some benefits to some or many individuals health but often those drugs end up in our waterways, rivers, lakes and oceans. Fish and all others in the food chain are then affected.

We allow millions on this planet to die of thirst, hunger and preventable diseases per year while millions if not billions of dollars are spent so we can extend lives to 100 years-of-age in the industrialized areas of the planet. All the while at the same time, threatening our food supplies.

4) Nuclear power a concern: Greenpeace.  As we freely allow business to seduce all the plant’s people now, for the sake of market share and profit towards or with products that are not needed to be happy or survival we do need more power sources. Nuclear in someways may be the best solution or answer but it is too bad that we cannot ensure that waste and abuse or resources is kept in check first.  Here in NA (G-8?) we have so much wealth, and even if we do not there is always credit, and accessibility to cheap resources that abuse and waste are incorporated in our daily lives unnoticed.  We are constantly encouraged by the media to and Governments to consume for the sake of, again, Economy.

5)  Military Funding; The federal Government will spend about $400 million this year, again.

One Global Government, no more WARS!  Obviously we are not leaders.

6) Experts: Ontario could be agricultural leader. (Front page). I have been writing that for a while now. We have the lands/soil (what is left of them), climate, water, ingenuity, and people. Unfortunately the automobile (roads  highways, parking lots)  large personal properties/space, industry and created office work/play spaces are more important.

If I were in charge I would not let/allow developers and/or business to continue on this known and evidently seen destructive path. Builders build 3,600 square foot homes and then say that that is what the market demands. Governments say/regulate very little as to limits in size of houses or land usage. Time to start looking at forcing people to share vehicles and parking spaces. E.i. all new buildings from now on will have a forced car share with a limited number and sizes of vehicles available. New sub-divisions will also have a regulated car-share law. Time to phase out the personal automobile! Life can no longer afford it!
