Excite the Planet... con gusto, ironia, lo stato d'animo nel fervore delle intenzioni.
Il "come" e non il "cosa" è protagonista, i gesti classici scaturiscono per un piacere immediato, il futuro rimane sullo sfondo, il gusto salvifico vive nel presente, in un scambio di effusioni tra noi ed il ns pianeta.

Malaysia's government owned and subsidized oil palm cooking oil and biofuel
industry -- the scourge of Asia and the world's rainforests -- is continuing to
expand, this time into the heart of the Brazilian Amazon
BRIEF BACKGROUND:
Malaysia‘s Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) will soon break ground on
a joint venture with a Brazilian firm to establish 30,000-100,000 hectares (ha;
75,000 – 250,000 acres) of oil palm plantations in the heart of Brazil's Amazon
rainforest. Similar oil palm development continues to devastate Asia-Pacific's
rainforests, and increasingly the world, with some thirty square miles of carbon
and biodiversity rich habitat being cleared a day to provide cooking oil and
transport biodiesel. Oil palm agrofuel is heralded as a climate change
mitigation measure, yet the initial rainforest clearance leads to much more
carbon release than its production and use avoids.
Large scale biofuel production runs counter to urgently addressing climate
change and threatens to cause more deforestation, hunger, human rights abuses,
and degradation of soil and water. Global ecological sustainability and local
well-being depend critically upon ending all industrial development in the
world's remaining old forests -- including plantations, logging, mining and
dams. The amount of primary and old growth forests that have been lost has
already overshot the carrying capacity of Earth. Globally there are not enough
old forests to maintain climatic and hydrological cycles, meet local forest
dwellers' needs, and to maintain ecosystems and the biosphere in total. Local
peoples must be assisted to fully protect, restore and benefit from intact,
standing forests.

To celebrate “Earth Day,” I thought I'd provide a little comic interlude from the late, great George Carlin. If you're offended by so-called "bad language" or George Carlin himself, please move on to a more traditional "honoring" or "satirizing" of Earth Day.

Jack Herer has for years now been touting this $100,000 challenge from the back of his famous book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", yet no one has apparently risen to the task? Or have they tried and they just simply failed?? If they failed, then why aren't we using hemp to it's fullest potential?? Instead we have banned this completely amazing resource that could potentially become America's new multi-billion dollar crop, giving our economy a much needed boost!
THE CHALLENGE: PROVE THEM WRONG!
If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same one that has done it before . . . CANNABIS HEMP!
[ read the rest of the facts listed in the challenge statement or feel free to wander around his site, there's lots of good information there! ]
##### The Number One Roadblock - The DEA's Controlled Substances Act #####
We need our leaders to force the DEA to comply with law stating that any substance should be rescheduled immediately upon change of status of said substance. Cannabis should have been rescheduled from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 2 substance back in 1996 when California passed it's first medicinal marijuana law. Now more than 12 years later there are 13 states with such laws, yet the DEA continues to refuse the rescheduling of cannabis to reflect the reality of accepted medicinal value. In such refusal they are actually breaking the law!
Schedule 1 is reserved for dangerous substances with no accepted medical use. This gives any such substances top priority in law enforcement. This catagory includes, heroine, LSD, peyote, magic mushrooms, GHB, and THC (cannabis), - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Schedule_I_drugs
Schedule 2 is for substances that may be dangerous yet have accepted medicinal uses. This category includes cocaine, methamphetamine, opium, and morphine. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Schedule_II_drugs
Interestingly enough, all prescription drugs, alcohol and tobacco are not included in any of the schedules...
Do you think cannabis is more dangerous than cocaine, crystal meth and morphine???
I would actually argue that cannabis should be no more than Schedule 3 or 4 to accurately reflect reality.
