Can U Die From A Twisted Bowel

Albert Einstein, a pioneer in many things, also said "nothing increase both the chance of survival on Earth as the transition to a vegetarian diet. (...) I only with its physical influence on the human temperament, the vegetarian lifestyle could positively influence the fate of humanity . " Leading by example he followed a vegetarian diet for the past years of his life.

Few heeded him, quite the opposite, and now, in 2010, witnessing a depletion of the Earth, and a global economic crisis that we are not learning any lessons. How long will this unsustainable form of production? How long will this consumerism predator who cheerfully leads to collapse and annihilation of biodiversity?

For the protection of biodiversity in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands government wants to adopt a lax law without regard to the scientific community to check out the biodiversity of the Canary Islands. Everyone against the new Catalog of Protected Species!

That no animal spoil your good business. This seems to be the watchword of the government of the Canary Islands (Canary Coalition and PP), according to the indignation aroused by his last bill, which aims to print or check out half of the species and subspecies of animals and plants of these islands.

If the bill goes ahead, the new Catalog of Protected Species removed from the list to 226 species, diminish the protection given to 131 of them and protect 94 of a very particular way. In the latter case, tell me if it smells fishy to ensure the plant or animal only if it is within a given space. In other words, if the plant or animal is outside it, or what is, if it bothers to build a golf course , or a housing estate or any other urban area, there would be utterly, and threatening them not would be an environmental offense, but simple administrative offense. A madness.

How could it be otherwise, environmentalists and scholars have been outraged, and have accused the government of jeopardizing canary hundreds of species of plants and animals, reducing their protection status of urban and infrastructure interests.

I have said bluntly personalities such as Juan José Bacallado, former director of the Museum de Ciencias Naturales, o especialistas como Pedro Oromí Masoliver, catedrático de zoología. Ambos acusan a Coalición Canaria de tener intereses económicos:

Coalición Canaria quiere quitarse de en medio un montón de especies protegidas que entorpecen proyectos de supuesto interés social, pero ya sabemos con qué facilidad se declara en Canarias cualquier obra como de interés general.

Además, se rebaja descaradamente la categoría de especies molestas, como es el caso del saltamontes Acrostira euphorbiae, especie muy amenazada que vive en una zona de La Palma, donde se pretende construir un campo de golf.

The biodiversity of the Canary Islands is unique haven for wildlife and home to about 4,000 species and subspecies that exist nowhere else in the world . Its habitat captivated Charles Darwin for two centuries, and remains a place chosen by thousands of nature lovers every year.

However, the ecological treasure volcanic archipelago may suffer a setback unrecoverable. If the government of the Canary Islands, which has already approved a bill, go ahead with it, more than half of the species in the protected list will be homeless. No comments. Well, yes, one more: with approval of the new catalog, large areas that were protected from urban development may receive permission to build. And a question: What remains of some islands if you remove their indigenous nature?

From Ben Magec-Ecologists in Action invite us to an important and fun action that is intended to show our political representatives that opposition to "New Catalog of Protected Species Canary has no boundaries. Help us to carry out this action.

Then we explain what to do. It's simple. Download BANNER (JPEG, 850 × 567 pixels) , print it and get a picture with the sign in a representative of your city, for example, if you live in France, you could take a picture with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Then send your photo to email canarias@ecologistasenaccion.org. You can also upload your photos on the Facebook group " I also reject the New Canary Coalition catalog "

With all photos received will be displayed to the Government of the Canary Islands the great mistake being committed. Remember that without your help this would not be possible. Go ahead and help with your photo to stop this madness! Thank you!

One more reason to be Vegetarian

The food industry has a sinister new development: how to convert fillet offal. Coming in our fridges by the European Commission

The European Commission has granted marketing authorization in the EU countries animal an enzyme that links pieces of meat in a steak. Sweden has been positioned in voting against the March meeting to consider "a betrayal of the consumer", but other countries and the European Commission gave its support. Geert

van der Velden, Fibrimex responsible for the manufacturer, Sonac, says he is "looking forward to the additive elBulli to teach and what you can do." This product hits the pieces of meat, even of different classes if necessary. In his view when looking at a steak made by bonding process "would not notice the difference. Only if you look you'd see a lot of union." They also say that it is a colorless and tasteless. "To make a steak sometimes on parts high-value meat, so this method avoids having to chop, so it is very interesting for companies. Moreover, almost all production to be automated this allows you to fillet the same size and shape, "added Van der Velden.

To make this substance is contained in the plasma slaughter a pig or cow and removed the fibrinogen and fibrin of the plasma. Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin. This fibrin interacts with collagen in the meat, what unites the different pieces of meat. The product, a patent Dutch public research body, is used in the Netherlands and the United States for over 15 years.

In Spain, as the provider of Fibrimex, companies are already conducting tests to suit your production. The Meat Technology Centre of Galicia experimented with this substance and transglutaminase, another enzyme that also hits the flesh and not considered an additive, so that its adoption has been more straightforward. This transglutaminase factory Japanese company Ajinomoto. "There are restaurants with a Michelin star already using these compounds to create new products. We popularized "sums Van der Velden.

What is clear is that ultimately the European Union is thinking more about making decisions in their industry in their people (as happened with genetically modified potatoes), and this is not the Europe I want. Only Sweden has shown common sense when checking this unusual step of "consumer fraud."

a crime with a culprit: man

global biodiversity continues to decline due to human activity up to a thousand times faster than it would be the natural rate. In addition, most ecosystem services are severely damaged.

global biodiversity continues to deteriorate at an accelerated rate because of humans. Already more than a third of Todal animal species threatened with extinction and it is estimated that 60 percent of the world's ecosystem services (such as pollination bees, for example) have deteriorated in the last 50 years. This was explained by the deputy head of the Directorate General Environment European Commission, Claudia Olazabal, during the presentation in Spain of the European campaign 'Biodiversity. We are all part ' to avoid this situation, raise awareness of the need to halt biodiversity loss in the EU, and also coinciding with the UN designation of 2010 as the ' Year of Biodiversity ' .

In this line, Olazabal said that the main problems facing biodiversity are the lack of information society, the lacunae in the field, the failure of existing legislation, among other things. Thus, stressed that human activity causes loss by the change in land use, over-exploitation, unsustainable practices, pollution and invasive species, which cause the destruction of habitats and species, fragmentation and degradation and climate change.

The EU Eurobarometer published last week reflected that of the 27,000 English respondents, 30 percent have never heard about what biodiversity is, 69 percent did not feel sufficiently informed on the subject, 87 percent after know know it's a problem serious or very serious, and 24 percent are concerned after meeting.

"25 percent of Spain is protected and 84 percent of the population has never heard of the Natura 2000 network, an aspect which is putting much emphasis and investment" he said Olazabal, while explained that the European environment ministers discussed a new biodiversity target in mid-March and agreed to stem the loss and degradation of ecosystem services and their recovery as far as possible by 2020.

also made an outlook for 2050, when the biodiversity should be protected, valued and properly restored, and argued that the objectives of biodiversity is integrated more clearly into several policies and strategies of the EU. EU leaders endorsed the conclusions of the Council on 26 March. EUROPEAN CAMPAIGN


This campaign, for which the EC has invested about five million, has two phases. First, the web has www.weareallinthistogether.eu , film, public relations, street art and advertising in print media, with the idea of \u200b\u200brebuilding "crime scene" for species disappearing.

The second phase, starting in mid-May, will show people what they can do, how they can contribute to stop the loss of biodiversity, and especially involve social networking sites such as Facebook, where you create multiple platforms become a 'friend' of animals that are endangered, as in the case of the European red squirrel.

Specifically, it will run until the end of 2010 with a special interest in countries where the action is considered particularly useful (Spain, Holland, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland and Italy). In Spain, explained la subdirectora general de Biodiversidad del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marino (MARM), Marta García Pérez, la campaña nacional ha costado unos tres millones de euros, se presentó a comienzos de año, y de momento ha contado con varios spots publicitarios así como faldones en medios impresos, a la espera de ser aprobada una segunda fase del proyecto.

LA BIODIVERSIDAD EN ESPAÑA
Según datos facilitados por la Comisión Europea, España tiene una "muy rica y variada diversidad biológica" con un alto porcentaje de especies que no existen en ningún otro lugar del mundo (endémicas), aunque existen fuertes amenazas, como la creciente urbanización and transport infrastructure, the intensification of irrigated agriculture and the increasing use of water scarcity.

Spain has almost 600 Protection Areas for birds (SPA, for its acronym in English) and 1,448 Sites of Comunitacria (SCI, by its initials in English), covering about a quarter of the territory. The country is home to the world amenzazado feline, the Iberian lynx, as well as significant populations of bears and wolves.

typical habitats in Spain include, among others, the pastures, a vast wooded grasslands, rich in wildlife and economically productive, covering approximately 50 - 60,000 square kilometers of the Iberian Peninsula, north of Andalusia and Extremadura, and the steppe plains and large tracks of Mediterranean forests.

Finally, conservation coordinator Seo / BirdLife, Juan Carlos Atienza warned of concern in the matter to see that we are losing biodiversity. In this regard, said that it is part of the natural heritage of each and every time you lose an element of the whole society is impoverished.

fact, indicated that 25 percent of birds in Spain are threatened with extinction, 20 percent of common birds such as sparrows, are near the threat of extinction, and 75 percent of the areas for the protection of birds are in poor condition.
