Work restarts at Mainshill, resistance needed!
15-09-2009 13:53
Forestry Commission workers this morning re-started clear-felling large areas of plantation in preparation for a new open cast coal mine. When the clear-felling started in June, Mainshill solidarity camp was set up to stop work on the site and occupy it, preventing any further felling and preventing any of the wood being removed from the site. Support is needed to prevent this destruction.Construction site sabotaged

Norman Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution, dies
13-09-2009 20:37
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8253005.stm Story here and elsewhere about Norman Borlaug who was central to the so-called "Green Revolution" in the 1960s. It was about breeding high-yield crops (by natural cross-breeding, not genetic modification) to stave off famines caused by population explosion. I'm not really interested in celebrities like this in themselves, but I would like to know whether Indymedia readers think the Green Revolution was a good or a bad thing, in general.
