GREEN SUMMIT AT GREEN LIGHT TRUST - PROSPECTIVE GREEN PARTY MEP BACKS COMMUNITY WOODLAND CHARITY

Green Light Trust
7th May 2009, 17.30

Rupert Read, Mark Ereira-Guyer and the Green Light team will meet to discuss a safer future for us all.

The clock is ticking…
We have less than 93 months left to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions. We only have less than 50 days left to take the first major step, and elect another Green MEP. Time is precious. We need to act NOW!

Green Light Trust (GLT), is the environmental charity dedicated to enabling people of all ages to live in harmony with nature, based in Lawshall.

Since opening its headquarters in 2006, a RIBA East award winning building known as The Foundry, GLT has been committed to assessing and reducing its carbon footprint. Employing all the best techniques in the design and build of The Foundry - including installing: a wood chip boiler; rainwater harvesting; solar panels; hemp and lime insulation; low energy light fittings and its own reed bed (both to increase biodiversity and to take responsibility for our own waste matter on site) – GLT has taken every step possible.

Nigel Hughes, co-founder and Chief Executive, says: “We are ensuring that GLT is doing everything we can to meet the governments strict new CO2 reduction targets - electing the first Green Party MEP we will be supporting the new strict CO2 reduction targets to help us all survive and thrive..”

Reasonable manners, in the blogosphere

Dear readers of Rupert's Read; One thing I am pleased about about this blog is that when we have had debates or disagreements here, they have virtually always been good-tempered. Because the norm out there in the blogosphere is often not like that. Take 'Comment is Free', for example, on the Guardian Unlimited site: the level of debate on CIF is pretty awful, frankly, in terms of civility. It is a very unpleasant place to take part in any debate, generally, unless perhaps (as most commenters do) one hides behind the veil of anonymity (which 'ain't allowed' here). And the truth is, in case any fellow commenters reading this don't realise it, that there are many many people who get put off even reading (let alone posting to) CIF because of the volume of plain nasty comments that they risk getting, when they do. I am slightly singling out CIF here, because I believe that this is actually one of the worst places on the blogosphere in terms of this kind of ...

Medialens under the lens, over Syria and Libya: Becoming the new Dave Sparts?

I have long been an active supporter of Medialens ( http://www.medialens.org/ ). Like many others, I have supported them with money, time, tips, and I have been proud to have done so. For they have done very important groundbreaking work over the years challenging the inanities and distortions of the 'mainstream' media. They have for example written important critiques of mainstream media coverage of dangerous climate change, of Iraq Body Count, of the corporate nature of most of our media, and much more besides. They have held the corporate media to account time and again. They ought to be saluted for all of that. It is therefore with a sense of deep regret (as well as of some foreboding) that I have finally to write to address the ways in which, lately, some of the wheels seem to be coming off their wagon. An early warning sign perhaps was their long-running spat with George Monbiot, over the Rwandan genocide and the terrible atr...
