John Conner's college campus tour continues at the University of California San Diego.
Climate change is changing our world. Within the lifetimes of children being born today, it may challenge our survival as a species. The Earth is hotter than it has been for at least one thousand years. By the end of this century, if current trends continue, the temperature will likely climb higher than it's been at any time in the past two million years. The consequences of this drastic rise, caused by burning fossil fuels, are likely to be catastrophic: mass extinctions, droughts, hundreds of millions of refugees ...
These are obsolete, but widely available, energy wasting incandescent lightbulbs. This type of bulb wastes 95 percent of its energy generating heat instead of light. This wasted energy mostly comes from burning fossil fuels like coal - causing climate change by adding carbon dioxide to our atmosphere. We crushed these bulbs in Berlin while EU and G8 ministers were meeting there for the, "Energy Efficiency: Shaping Tomorrow's World" conference to send them a message. Greenpeace is calling for national bans on energy wasting lightbulbs, and enforcement of an EU-wide mandatory efficiency standard on domestic lighting by 2010.

http://www.greenpeace.org/climatemessage Want to be part of a Greenpeace action? Help us pass a message around the world! This December people representing YOU will attend a vital UN climate meeting in Bali, Indonesia. Let's all let them know that we want action, not "bla bla bla". There are just a couple of things you need to do in your clip: - Take a plain bottle. Move it creatively from the left of the screen to the right - Include a green living tip, an image of someone or something threatened by climate change, or do your own mini climate action in the clip: But keep it short! Quick, tight clips of a few seconds are more likely to make it into the final cut. - Post your video on youtube as a video response. - Ideally, tell us where your video was shot using the "Date and Map" option on YouTube, so your video appears on our around-the-world map. We'll edit a selection of the best submissions together to make a final video, which will be delivered to the politicians at the Bali conference. We're aiming to have video clips from all around the world to show just how much we want the delegates to deliver real climate action.

The Bio Fuels CrisisSHALIN Suomi ry1 min 39 sec - Mar 1, 2006As traditional systems or governance continue to disintegrate and market forces are becoming increasingly dominant, and local communities are slowly being pitted against each other as they try to lay claim to the last standing biomass to support their livelihoods. The casualty is the environment, and especially in Africa where communities rely heavily on natural resources as a livelihood base and a fuel to their natural biological processes.
Africa Biodiversity Network (ABN) Visit to FinlandSHALIN Suomi ry4 min 46 sec - May 4, 2006In summary when culture is mentioned in Africa, it is often to do with tourists, five star hotels and a troupe of dancers performing for a select individuals, as it were, culture in a bottle. But, when African Biodiversity Network (part of the Global Alliance on Community Ecological Governance) talks of culture, the image of culture that emerges is of people, ancestry, rights, pride and ecological integrity. ABN visited Finland in April 2006 as part of their European tour, and I had the pleasure of joining them in their presentations starting from the Siemenpuu Foundation offices, in meeting the President of Saami Parliament in Finland, to KEPA (Service Centre for Finnish Development Cooperation) through to the Finnish Foreign Ministry (FORMIN).
