Imagine

A soul is a cloud of dense energy that moves within a being.

It can lean forward, move up and down, ... have a sit, move backward, drive along, ... .

Greetings, Jo

Make a Difference on International Day of Climate Action!

On October 24, 2009, thousands of people around the world are taking part in the International Day of Climate Action. December's UN climate meeting in Copenhagen is a critical juncture for the future of our planet and all of its inhabitants -- and we need YOU to show your government's leadership that combating climate change is not only politically possible, it is politically critical!

The coalition 350.org has launched the International Day of Climate Action on Saturday to bring a common goal of reducing the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere to 350 parts per million -- what our world's top scientists say is the safest upper limit for carbon dioxide on our planet.

We're already at 387 ppm. Now we need to make it clear to our world leaders that we must get back down to at least 350 ppm! You can help deliver this message by adding your name and participating in 350.org's International Day of Climate Action.

Do your part, and on this International Day of Climate Action, demand that your country's leading decision-makers go to Copenhagen with a plan to combat global warming!

IS international solidarity necessary?

Solidarity is a complete concise term, which implies community and responsibility. We live in a global society, where each earthling must get a place.

The term solidarity is also present in the definition of sustainable development: solidarity between people worldwide and solidarity between generations. Solidarity goes further then the proportion between poor and realms. Also between men and women, between several cultures, between employers and employees, also solidarity with patients, disabled people are all included.

Solidarity can create however also a narrow vision. E.g. think of 'solidarity with the victims of a natural disaster'. Emergency aid is necessary, but if that becomes our definition of solidarity, then we are no step further at all.

International solidarity is a term more wide than development cooperation and can imply a promise. I think that it is a good supplement that indicates on what we want to reach in our 'changed world' aims.

I think that we will still use the term 'development cooperation' for a long time. In the debate concerning how development cooperation must look forward to here, new terms can broaden the perspective. International solidarity deserves our attention!

Kenya Crisis: Support Kofi Annan

Kenya: Stop the Bloodshed



18-01-2008

Dear Karel De Gucht,

I write as one of your fellow citizens to urge you to avoid prematurely recognising anyone as president of Kenya, and to support a mediated resolution and an independent review of the election results. This message is also being sent to Kenya’s leaders through a full-page advertisement in the East African Standard newspaper. By applying pressure until mediators like Kofi Annan can broker agreement and an election review, governments around the world can help to bring the candidates to the negotiating table, and to prevent further bloodshed.

Yours sincerely,

Jo Creten
