Yesterday, June 5th was World Environment Day.
World
Environment Day is one of the principal vehicles through which the United
Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances
political attention and action. The World Environment Day slogan for 2008 is
Kick the Habit!
Towards a Low Carbon
Economy.
Recognizing that climate change is becoming the defining issue of our era,
UNEP is asking countries, companies and communities to focus on greenhouse
gas emissions and how to reduce them. The World Environment Day will
highlight resources and initiatives that promote low carbon economies and
life-styles, such as improved energy efficiency, alternative energy sources,
forest conservation and eco-friendly consumption. To learn more click

Congratulations Senator Barack Obama |
|
| |
Senator Barack Obama claimed the
Democratic nomination for
president in a speech in
Minnesota this past Tuesday --
an historic achievement that for
the first time will place an
African American at the top of a
major political party's ticket.
He stated: "Tonight I can stand
here and say that I will be the
Democratic nominee for President
of the United States," Obama
declared in his speech to a
raucous crowd at the Xcel Center
in St. Paul. |

Senator Harry Reid
Climate Security Act
Most of my Senate colleagues
understand that global warming is real and is caused mainly by manmade
pollution. We must begin now to greatly reduce our emissions to restore some
balance to the global climate system...... |

A Visit to Iraq

President of the United States can make has got to be
about the security of this nation and the lives of the

Russia: Six Years Ago
This
is an article I wrote nearly six years ago while in
Moscow. The cash flow and the national debt in Russia
have certainly changed thanks to higher oil revenues. If
you have been to Russia lately, tell me how it has
changed from what I witnessed here.........

"Seasoned And Spoiled" vs. "Fresh

Time and time again...we have heard the
other two candidates tell us that they have the
experience to change this country...I’ll give them
that... They have years and years of service but in the
same breath I also see that the establishments way of
getting things done doesn't do anything for us
Americans.........
