*HUNDREDS JOINS “MOVING PLANET “CLIMATE ACTION IN ROSARIO, CAVITE,
PHILIPPINES
*
Amidst signs of an early morning downpour, around 500 people from all walks
of life still converged in-front of the Municipal Hall of Rosario, Cavite to
join the 2011 Moving Planet climate action.
Municipal and barangay government officials and personnel together with
various schools and civic organizations went to the streets on foot and on
their bikes to show their solidarity to the global call to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions to 350 parts per million (ppm) to mitigate the impacts of
global warming and climate change.
Before reaching La Isla Bonita de Salinas beach where the Moving Planet and
350 human formation will be conducted, the participants walked and bike for
about 2 kilometers carrying paper windmills, 350 banners, and climate
posters while others shouted some chants about climate change.
Upon reaching the beach, a wave of people in different colors signifies that
climate action is everyone’s moral responsibility and concern regardless of
creed, religion and social status.
Michael Giongco, head of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Office (MDRRMO) of Rosario, in his speech, asserts that everyone
just walked and used their bikes in going to the beach as a manifestation of
the simple action to reduce everyone’s carbon footprint. He added that the
Municipality of Rosario, together with the rest of the world supports the
global call to reduce GhG to 350ppm to mitigate climate change. He also
hopes that the said event will be start of a long term commitment of
everyone to act on climate change.
Mayor Jose Ricrafente, in his solidarity message congratulates the people of
Rosario for the successful Moving Planet event. He said that climate action
also means putting significance in protecting the environment which is of
vital importance to the survival of the people of Rosario. He shared that
the very beach where the Moving Planet and 350 human formation was held is a
living testimony of the commitment of his leadership in environmental
protection. He further shared that the local government unit has poured a
lot of effort to put an end to illegal fishing activities in the coastal
areas of Rosario.
The 2011 Moving Planet was then read by Ms. Janah Araracap, SK Chair of
Barangay Silangan 1. She expressed that climate change is bringing permanent
changes to our lives that the immediate effects that worsen natural hazard
events must be managed with proper preparedness and response. She added that
the more permanent changes require more massive actions, not just from
government, but from all sectors in society; including all of us. The
declaration also appeals to the people of Rosario and the world to change
“lifestyle” as a simple solution to mitigate climate change. Ms. Araracap
mentioned simple actions such as change of consumerist lifestyle, reduction
or zero use of plastics, promote the practice of walking and biking as mode
of transportation, switch off and unplug of electrical devices, and others.
She also highlights that the people of Rosario supports the current
Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) and Climate Change
Adaptation project that is being implemented in Rosario, Cavite that is
spearheaded by the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR)
and funded by the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR). Finally, the
declaration emphasized on the basic rights of the people to a healthy
environment and free from disasters brought about by climate change.
The finale of the event was the 350 human formation wherein Mark Cervantes
of IIRR gave a quick background on the significance of 350 number in climate
change issue.
The Moving Planet 2011 event in Rosario was participated by the following
organization, schools and individual: Municipal Local Government of Rosario,
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Cavite State
University, Sapa National High School, Bagbag National High School, Bayan
Muna, Nagkakaisang Kabataan sa Rosario, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary
Divers, Seaborne, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire, Rosario Radio
Group, Barangay Health Workers, Rosario Bikers Association, Lingkod Bayan,

Green MEPs joined NGOs in front of the European Parliament today as part of the Global Frackdown to show their solidarity with the anti-fracking movement
Big Oil & Gas is trying to squeeze as many drilling rigs and fracking equipment onto the map of Europe to lock the EU into fossil fuels. But MEPs can choose the side of Local Communities by pushing for a ban on fracking. NGOs demonstrated how the political rules of the ‘Fracking RISK’ game are rigged to the disadvantage of Local Communities.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.
Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.
The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.
Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

I had one of the best days I've had in a long time. My dear friend asked me to take a few photos of her for a personal project. Depending on how I edit them, some of them may get posted here. I might post them friends/family only. I haven't decided yet. However, while freezing our asses off, and me nearly getting swept away by the current, Maverick was determined to get closer to us. He doesn't know he can swim, so he kept trying to climb on this branch. He wanted to be close, but the water was...well, sub zero I'm certain. My nipples are still well anyway. I had to post this, he was too hilarious =)

Barbie joined PJ in the garden, bringing some cold cokes and fresh watermelon.
Everything's perfect for chat with friends!
Watermelon made by me. I know I am not good at minis, but I had fun, so I think this is the most important thing!
Barbie wears two other outfits from the 70's Mix n match line:
1.orange skirt and hat (complete)
2. Brown top, that would be complete with red goggles that PJ is wearing. PJ is a good friend and gave her sunglasses to Barbie for a short time 😄

A quarter million people joined the Climate Action March around the world on Sep. 8, 2018, asking for immediate action to reduce climate change.
In San Francisco, thousands of activists created one the largest street murals ever made, covering five blocks of city streets with dozens of colorful scenes illustrating possible solutions to global warming, all around the City Hall plaza.
Each mural was designed by a different community group, and painted on the ground in large 35-feet wide circles, with washable tempera paint. Murals featured in this photo set were created by the Sierra Club ("Keep close to Nature's heart"), environmental students at UC Berkeley (“Fiat Lux”) and SFUSD (“Write History Wisely”).
Everyone was welcome to join and it was a sight to behold! Participants ranged from veteran environmentalists to young activists, with very diverse backgrounds, coming together from all across California and beyond. We used this creative art form to demand that our leaders act now to cut back on fossil fuels and switch over to renewable energy, before it’s too late.
High school students from ‘Generation: Our Climate’ participated actively in this event, and were interviewed by both KQED and KPFA. I volunteer with their group and am inspired by their knowledge and passion. I really enjoy our collaboration, which bridges the gap between generations that are too often separated into different silos.
The Climate March was also a great opportunity to reconnect with many of my activist friends, including Marilyn, Wayne and the Freedom Singers. We posed together in front of a colorful float of Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of fertility, created by Latino activists in the wood shop of a Mission high school.
Kudos to art director David Solnit and team at 350.org for guiding the creation of these murals and many of the signs for this march -- inspiring a diverse community of citizens of all ages. Many thanks to all who marched, painted, chanted, organized and spoke up for a better world at the Climate Marches around the world. This wonderful blend of art, music and activism helped engage more people to fight for climate justice. Let there be light!

Police officers from across the North West joined forces today (4/7/12) to target metal thieves in a regional day of action.
Officers from the Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cumbria Forces along with colleagues from British Transport Police raided scrap metal yards and carried out roadside checks on vehicles suspected to be handling stolen metals.
This latest crackdown comes against a backdrop of reducing metal thefts regionally and nationally. Each of the five forces in the North West report that they have helped reduce metal theft from between 39 to 48 per cent in the last year, when comparing thefts in May last year to May 2012.
Global increases in commodity prices for scrap metals especially copper and lead in the last couple of years fuelled metal thefts with thieves targeting domestic homes and community buildings.
Telecoms, electricity, water and rail and tram networks have also been targeted causing widespread disruption, expensive reinstatement costs and even endangering the lives of the general public.
Robust action by police working in partnership with local councils and staff from the affected industries has helped to reduce metal thefts but officers, utility and transport providers are keen to reduce them even further.
Law-abiding scrap metal dealers have also joined the fight against metal theft by adopting work practices that make it harder for thieves to off-load stolen metals onto them. These include information sharing agreements with police on suspected metal thieves and robust recording of information on people offering scrap metal to yards.
Almost 85 per cent of the 232 scrap metal dealers in the North West have signed up to a scheme that requires people selling scrap metal to yards to provide photo ID and proof of address making it harder for rogue dealers to operate.
Superintendent Craig Thompson from Greater Manchester Police’s Specialist Operations Branch said: ‘Over the last year officers from BTP and all five Forces in the North West have worked hard to make the region a hostile environment for metal thieves.
‘We have been confronting metal thieves on the roads and in the communities where they go about their illegal activity, arresting them for stealing metal and making them pay for driving unlicensed, untaxed, uninsured and often dangerous vehicles.
‘We have also been confronting scrap metal dealers who support these crimes by turning a blind eye to what are obviously stolen goods and refusing to fulfil their legal obligations to keep full and accurate records of transactions, that would help us to quickly bring thieves to justice.
‘Our robust policing strategy is paying dividends in protecting law abiding people from falling victim to metal thieves. Criminals can be reassured that we have no intention of changing tactics in the coming months.
‘I would urge people to help us fight metal theft by making their homes, businesses and community buildings less vulnerable to thieves by using security lights, fencing, alarms and good locks to keep thieves at bay.
‘They can also help us by providing information about suspicious activity either directly to us on 101 the new single non emergency number or anonymously through the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Thousands of university, college and school students – joined by workers – are marching in London and Manchester against Tory cuts to education, fee rises and attacks on jobs and services.
The revolution in Tunisia and uprising in Egypt have clearly inspired the marches. Marchers have chanted, “Egypt, Egypt everywhere.”
London
Aisha, an FE student from Camden in north London said, “I’ve been on all the demonstrations, but some of my friends are here who haven’t been out on the protests before.
“I like the slogan ‘This is only the beginning’, because it’s going to be a long fight against this government.”
Theo, a school student from south east London, took part in the Day X walkouts last year. He said, “Lots of people who want to go to university won’t be able to and people will definitely be affected by the cuts to EMA [Education Maintenance Allowance]. The government is making the wrong people pay – the bankers are getting hundreds of thousands in bonuses.”
For workers, the student protests have been an inspiration.
A GMB rep joining the protest in London said, “I’m here to show solidarity with the students. I’ve got a daughter who has just gone through university and there is no way she would have been able to afford £9,000 a year fees.
“I’m also here to say that I don’t believe in these cuts. We’ve got to stick together workers and students. I think that the TUC demo on the 26 March can give people confidence to fight.”
UCU lecturer Vicky Margree works at the University of Brighton. She said, “We face 100 percent cut in arts and humanities funding which will hit universities hard. And the new fees will make university unaffordable for the majority of people.”
Kelly Rogers, a Unison organiser, said, “Unless we show solidarity with younger people we may as well give up. Students have led the way and enthused workers, showing us how to fight.”
Solidarity with the Egyptian uprising
In London the mood was electric as up to a thousand students joined the many hundreds of people already protesting in solidarity with the Egyptian people outside the embassy off Park Lane.
Chants of “Solidarity, solidarity,” “London and Cairo unite and fight” and “Hey ho Mubarak has to go” are ringing through the air.
One man on the original protest said, “I can’t believe that all these young people have come to support us. This makes us feel even stronger. I can’t wait to send the pictures of all you British people who have come to support us to people back home.”
Before reaching the embassy, the protest stopped outside the Tory HQ at Millbank – a focus of student anger and protests last year – as students chanted, “Tory scum, here we come.”

Community leaders joined together to launch a national initiative promoting community cohesion and unity.
‘We Stand Together’ encourages people to come together as one and celebrate their differences in order to build a safer and stronger United Kingdom.
The initiative has been launched following recent global events which have caused concern within communities across Greater Manchester.
Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said: “Greater Manchester has a long and proud tradition of celebrating differences and sets a positive example to the rest of the world, which we should be immensely proud of.
“Recent attacks in Paris and Denmark have inevitably caused tension and fear within our communities and it is more important than ever that we come together as one and send a strong unified message that any attempt to create disharmony or fear is futile.
“We all have a responsibility to encourage community cohesion and I am calling on people to stand together against hatred and intolerance and show their support for each other during this difficult time”.
Councillor Bernard Priest, Manchester City Council's deputy leader, said: "Mancunians are rightly proud to live in a diverse and thriving city where people respect and tolerate each other, but there is no escaping the fact that incidents in other parts of the world can have an impact on community tensions here.
"Now, it is more important than ever for our communities to show the world that we are continuing to stand together, despite the troubling times we are living through, and demonstrate that hatred and intolerance have no place in our city."
Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: “Here in Greater Manchester, as across the land, we have strong, cohesive communities where we celebrate our diversity. But we should never take for granted the fact we live in a safe, tolerant part of the world as there are always those who would seek to drive us apart. By standing together we send out a clear and strong message that we celebrate and cherish our inclusive society, as well as recognising that we have a shared responsibility to work to safeguard it.”
Community leaders will be urging members of the public to use social media to spread the message of standing together using the hashtag #WeStandTogether
To report an incident of hate crime, please contact Greater Manchester Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively, please report online to True Vision (www.report-it.org.uk) or use the True Vision app.
