Your Questions About Green Living

Who are responsible for the deaths of people & destruction on earth?

Are these acts of God or acts of men? In Daniel’s vision, it says “the 4th animal (identified by the author as UN’s ECOSOC) shall be a 4th kingdom on earth, different from all kingdoms. It will devour the earth, crush it & destroy it.” Looking at two of ECOSOC’s functions:

1. To study & solve the economic, social, cultural, educational & health problems affacting the peoples of the world; and,

2. To coordinate the work of the UN specialized agencies.

Remember, with intense & deadly disasters that passed, UN publicly announced warnings from 2003 to 2005 after which they created more agencies & programs (such as disaster management, etc.). Such programs are actually faults & failures against them (from negligence to imprudence). Are the never-ending reforms & creations of agencies in ECOSOC solution to our problems? Take the example of UNFCC & IPCC, can these 2 resolve global warming & climate change which UNEP could not? Or, can UNAIDS resolve the disease which WHO also could not? Of course they could not for there are no sincere service in the framework but purely politically-grounded & -motivated.

It is evident that ECOSOC is bleeding internally for they could not function correctly & could not anymore discharge its duties effectively. There are agencies that are contradicting & accusing each other of faults. Look at the 3 fallen kings, its functions & its outstanding negative accomplishments, to wit:

FAO: To increase production & distribution of agricultural crops. (Negative Accomplishments: 60% desertification, famine,
droughts, forest fires, landslides, floods, poverty, deaths, etc.)

WHO: To promote health of the peoples of the world. (Negative accomplishments: HIV/AIDS, SARS, bird flu, swine flu, heat stroke, cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary diseases, deaths, etc.).

WMO: To promote the application of meteorological knowledge in aviation, agriculture & shipping. (Negative accomplishments: Climate change, quakes, heat wave, plane crashes, giant waves, tsunami, ozone depletion, glaciers melting, etc.)

How can ECOSOC mitigate & repair the damages done by the above 3 agencies when global warming, climate change & natural disasters could not be controlled & manipulated by remedial studies & actions taken by the newly created agencies (the off-springs)? ECOSOC did not take seriously the unchanging permanent & constant structure of nature. To modify & alter the empirical basic scientific studies done by famous scientists, we are thrown out of course. The world could not reconcile or compromise the above negative accomplishments with sustainable development, fertilizers & GMOs, drug dependence, warning devices, mitigation & adaptation programs, etc. because nature is already abused & neglected. And the steps & measures taken do not do justice to mankind’s continued survival for they are not the right aspects of the real world. As such, the world could not adapt to change of nature because natural permanence could not be dismissed & sacrificed in constructing an “anti-life” objective of emission reduction without examining & considering life.

By command responsibility, ECOSOC is the one which is liable for these tragedies & catastrophes because it is God, the only one, who could take life & destroy earth. They may claim that it was not intentional but, by mere looking at their negative accomplishments, negligence & imprudence existed, a criminal offense punishable under any country’s penal code, and so, in the eyes of God (through Daniel), they are principally liable.

please help interpret this poem by david greenberg!?

SCHOOLYARD WITH BOAT

Our horizon thickened, dropped lower like grain.
There was no grain. And it was dawn again.

Waves darted out of the snow, turned to wind.
The snow waved as out a flawed window.

The wind made odd furrows through the feild.
There was no time between lines.

Dawn and not, reflected presently.
Culled, the snow overturned and was now.

What when not, repeated the wind. Children
pulled in a blind row against it.

The resilience of children grows
with the instability of progress.

When bright snow sheared and dulled
I believe no matter. No note guards the gate.

* * *

Negotiation in retrospect, although not prospectively
culls in ‘scape’ the grating of canvas or progress.

Not words alone pleased me, said the flag
lines will not meet me. The white cord chimes on the pole.

Not words alone the flag hangs, knowing
held back, as uncertainly means negation.

struck down, the corrective open to learning
is sustainable in ignorance.

WHATS THE THEME/MAIN IDEA!?

How many of these things have you done?!?!?!?

1. Set foot on each of the seven continents. Antarctica might be a tough one, but once you’ve reached all seven you can truly call yourself a world traveler.

2. Cross a country on a bicycle. A bicycle tour takes some planning, but it beats being separated from a country though a passenger-side window.

3. Ride something bigger than a horse. Trekking through the jungle on the back of a two story tall elephant will surely be something you remember forever.

4. Live like a local for a month. The experience of visiting native peoples will give you way more insight into another way of life than two years hopping from one backpacker ghetto to the next.

5. Visit a “real” blues bar in Chicago. What better way to leave music’s commercialism behind and find the soul of the blues?

6. Learn another language. This is definitely a weighty and time-consuming proposition, but there are plenty of resources out there to ease the process.

7. Go heli-skiing. The access to snow and terrain via heli is different (read: better) that anything else you’ll ever experience.

8. Travel India by train. With its extensive rail network, this mode of transport is the best way to see one of the world’s most colorful and diverse countries.

9. Climb one of the world’s Seven Summits. Climbing mountains is not for the faint-hearted, but everyone has had a dream of standing atop one.

10. Dive with a whale shark. Swimming with these gentle giants is among the most powerful wilderness experiences in the world.

11. Participate in a Carnival parade in Brazil. You haven’t had a good night out until you’ve been to the biggest party in a nation of big parties.

12. Dance Tango in Argentina.

13. Surf. It’s not about being a ripper but just catching waves.

14. SCUBA in the Great Barrier Reef. The largest coral reef in the world is a must for dive enthusiasts. It is the world’s most unique aquatic environment.

15. Publish an article about your travels. Part of traveling is sharing your experiences with others. Plus, getting published might be easier than you think.

16. Volunteer abroad for a month.

17. Follow in the footsteps of your favorite travel book. What better guide than a book that inspired you to travel in the first place?

18. Take a bush plane ride into Africa’s interior. These lightly visited regions are filled with unique cultures and diverse wildlife.

19. Cross a glacier on foot. Traversing these fast-disappearing natural wonders is an adventure that future generations might not be able to experience.

20. Visit the source of one of the world’s great rivers. Great rivers, like the Nile, have humble beginnings.

21. Climb an active volcano.

22. Buy a boat and learn to sail. Before the Brothers Wright, everyone traveled by wind power. It’s still the most sustainable way to travel there is.

23. Follow your food from field to table. Most people in the world still eat what they have picked with their own hands. Why not get back to these basics?

24. Bathe in the Ganges. What better way to experience the spiritual heart of India?

25. Travel around the world. Sure, you could do this without ever setting foot outside of planes and airports, but few people ever truly traverse the entire globe. Round the world tickets are great for budget-minded wanderers.

26. Photograph an endangered species. Aside from an image you can keep for a lifetime, it will remind you, and others, how fragile life can be.

27. Participate in Burning Man . As they say: “Trying to explain Burning Man to someone who has never been is like trying to explain color to a blind person.”

28. Spend 24 hours alone in the jungle.

29. Learn how to make a national dish. What is the one and only thing that everyone has in common? Eating.

30. Teach English in a foreign country. Sure, it’s a way to fund your travels, but also the experience of a lifetime.

31. Attend a music festival in another country.

32. Cross a country using only public transportation. See a country the way most of its people do: from the window of a bus, train, or ferry.

33. Spend the night in a storied/historic hotel. You might not even have to leave town to experience a night of classic atmosphere.

34. Attend the Olympics. Whatever you say about the commercialism of the Olympic Games, they are one of the biggest events on the planet.

35. Meet your favorite (living) travel writer. They’ve inspired you; now thank them for it.

36. Travel to Germany to experience Love Parade. It’s one of the biggest festivals, attendance-wise, on the planet.

37. Partake in a Japanese Tea Ceremony. This timeless tradition is at the heart of Japanese culture.

38. Join a caravan in the Sahara. See how people can thrive in one of the world’s harshest environments.

39. Go to Oktoberfest. The meeting of over 6 million beer afficionados and dr
Right noe Nikole is in the lead!
How about these?

40. Stand at the North or South Pole.

41. Be in the stands when two rival South American club teams play each other in soccer. Soccer (sorry, football) is a passion for most of the world’s population.

42. Visit the birthplace or gravesite of a cultural icon. Could be Che Guevara or Picasso or Levi Strauss or the guy who invented widgets; anyone you think is important.

43. Find your version of “The Beach.” One of the best travel books ever inspired a generation of backpackers. Why not find your own version of untouched paradise?

44. Enjoy a freshly rolled cigar in Cuba. Taste a hand rolled specialty close to its source.

45. Visit every capital city in Europe. The crowded continent is full of beautiful architecture and diverse cultures.

46. Watch an orchestral performance in Vienna.

47. Skydive. It is the ultimate thrill, unless you add a wingsuit, and actually fly.

48. Bike the Pacific Coast Highway.
and these

49. Shake hands with someone who has truly changed a country.
