Stretford Mega Tesco opposition campaign given new hope
03-12-2009 14:23
Local campaigners fighting against plans for a Mega Tesco in Stretford have been buoyed by the rejection of a similar scheme in Kirby, Merseyside. The building of the 160,000 square foot supermarket was stopped from going ahead because it would be harmful to the “vitality and viability” of the surrounding area, as well as leading to an increase in private transport.12/12 demonstration Copenhagen

Be part of the party!Copenhagen – COP15 – World Climate Summit
December 12th 2009 a mass demonstration against the COP15 Climate Summit will take place in Copenhagen. A mixture of very different people, groups and organizations are going to participate.
Unfortunately the registered route of the demonstration will directly lead out of the city centre to a barren part of town around the conference building, where it is going to end. It will also not be possible for us to change our mind on the way and turn around in order to bring our protest to public places, as after 30 m the demo will cross a draw-bridge, which can ban us from the inner city in the blink of an eye. This is why we think it is important to make up our minds beforehand, which way we want to go.

“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. This is something we cannot abandon.

New Cop15 Book: Carbon Trading: How it Works + Why it Fails (pdf)
24-11-2009 11:04
http://www.dhf.uu.se/pdffiler/cc7/cc7_web.pdf Carbon Trade Watch, Transnational Institute
http://carbontradewatch.org/ Carbon trading lies at the centre of global climate policy and is projected to become one of the world’s largest commodities markets, yet it has a disastrous track record since its adoption as part of the Kyoto Protocol.
"Carbon Trading: how it works and why it fails" outlines the limitations of an approach to tackling climate change which redefines the problem to fit the assumptions of neoliberal economics. It demonstrates that the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the world’s largest carbon market, has consistently failed to ´cap´ emissions, while the UN’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) routinely favoursenvironmentally ineffective and socially unjust projects. This isillustrated with case studies of CDM projects in Brazil, Indonesia, India and Thailand.
