Essex Students Reclaim Their Union

ViVA ESSEX - for another union The majority opinion after the 2008 Sabbatical Elections of the Essex University Students’ Union was that the mandate for change that had been growing over the years was confirmed by the victories of the ViVA ESSEX sabbatical candidate team, who were aiming to reclaim the direction of the Union that saw its officers usually dominated by liberals and conservatives. However the night was bittersweet for many as the solidarity they shared began to hurt as their Presidential candidate narrowly failed to win the top position.

What a load of rubbish

Big dump! This story doesn't have too much to do with the UK. Except that, as the Buddha would say, we're all fundamentally interconnected. Or, to put it another way, one woman's waste is another woman's garden furniture.

And maybe the pics will help to stoke the fire in your belly...

Food Not (Bio)fuel protest Cambridge

The action was held at Tesco's store in Milton, just north of Cambridge. A dozen or so protesters braved the cold, the sun, and stroppy Tesco managers to draw attention to the increasing use of biofuels that wreck the environment and drive up food prices, most often in the developing world. The protest came at the end of a week of action called by biofuelwatch.org.uk.
Police were in attendance, but soon left, leaving Tesco staff so concerned about protester's safety that they repeatedly threatened to call the police when they stepped onto the forecourt. They finally got so fed up that just as we were about to leave they asked us to leave, in the process delaying our departure.
