QUINTO AÑO DE PSICOLOGÍA SE MANIFIESTA!!

Esta es una foto del penoso panel de 5º año de Psicología en la ULS, como manifestación de nuestro gran cansancio para que todos nuestros profes, que nos sobrecargan académicamente, no sólo se enteren de nuestro sentir colectivo, sino que lo recuerden cada vez que salgan de la oficina.

Kentucky Fried Amazon? Many thousands of you told McDonald's to stop clearing the Amazon to grow soy for McNuggets, and they tell us they are working to do just that. We're not letting up on the pressure until they do. But McDonald's isn't the only company selling fast food grown with Amazon soy. Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is also selling a bucket-full of forest destruction. They need to get serious about getting out of the Amazon. Tell KFC it's time to remove the Amazon's fragile ecosystem from their '11 secret herbs and spices.' Tell KFC you don't want rare Amazon species to die to feed chickens.

Getting toxic chemicals under control Our lives are full of chemicals. From toys to computers, carpets to clothes, furniture to washing powder, man-made chemicals are used in virtually all products. Some are known to be toxic, but we know very little about the vast majority of them. Governments are finally becoming aware of the need to protect us from harmful chemicals. The European Union is working on legislation which - if properly designed and implemented - will require manufacturers to provide vital health and safety information on thousands of chemicals for the first time and require the replacement of the most hazardous substances with safer alternatives. But chemical companies are pressuring politicians to weaken these laws. We need to stand up for our right to a clean environment. Don't let dirty industries weaken the laws on toxic chemicals.

Say "Trees!" It's quick, easy, and fun. A digital photo is all you need to join the Virtual March for the paradise forests and help save the homes of orang-utans, Sumatran tigers and the magnificent birds of paradise. Our activists have been working from the Greenpeace Forest Rescue Station in the middle of the Paradise Forests, some of the last ancient forests on Earth, to save them from illegal and destructive logging. You can join us in protecting the forests too as we march together to say 'no more destruction.' Join the Virtual March!

Forest-Friendly Businesses Using ancient forests to make toilet paper isn't good for the environment and it isn't good for business. We need your help to stop Kimberly-Clark from destroying ancient forests and help us reach our goal of getting 500 businesses to pledge not to buy Kimberly-Clark products. We're over halfway there already with 270 businesses currently registered. You can help companies promote their green credentials by signing them up to the Forest Friendly 500. There are free t-shirts on offer for anyone who can sign up 10 companies to be forest-friendly.

Don't Nuke Iran!!

Hi there ya'll! Again working for greenpeace, or actually for all of us ;) I got this e-mail some days ago but my poor lil'ol'comp was kinda in a coma. Now it's back and in great shape, so now I post this very important note to all of u. Please, take a little time.
I will be posting smth of my own as soon as I feel like it :P
Greetings!!

Hello,

I'm Donna Mattfield, a peace and disarmament campaigner with Greenpeace International in Amsterdam. I'm writing to you to ask for your help in creating a pre-emptive peace strike.

You may have read in the news recently about revelations that the United States is considering plans for a nuclear strike on Iran. I know I'm not alone in thinking this is an insane way to tell a country that it's wrong to develop nuclear weapons.

And where would these weapons come from? The type of weapons the US are including in their plans could be among those stored in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and the UK.

Join me in asking for a simple assurance from the NATO countries which host American nuclear weapons that they'll not endorse or cooperate with a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran.

When I first heard that the US still maintains 480 nuclear weapons in NATO bases in Europe I was shocked. I find it hard to comprehend that in 2006, 16 years after the cold war ended, those of us who live here are still sitting on such a dangerous legacy.

The Bush Administration can't treat Europe as a convenient parking lot for its destructive missiles. The situation in Iran brings home a very scary fact: the Bush administration could implicate independent European nations in a war that shuns diplomatic solutions and invites retaliation, with or without the consent of the countries that host those nuclear weapons.

It doesn't have to be like this. Join our campaign to eliminate the threat altogether by calling for the US to take back and dismantle its nuclear weapons from Europe and Turkey altogether, and to begin the work of creating a nuclear free zone in the Middle East. The choice is simple: a world in which everybody is threatened by nuclear weapons, or nobody is. I know which world I want to live in.

Thank you for your support,

Donna
