A secret

Some samples of facts, but also samples of how media (and public) put things:

At the 30th Antarctic Treaty Advisory Meeting, being held in New Delhi, worries were raised that tourism to the Antarctic could have serious implications for the delicate environment. Antarctica is considered the world's last great wilderness. Source: 70South

Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest—an area larger than Greece—and since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (232,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. Source: Mongabay

Unless China finds a way to clean up its coal plants and the thousands of factories that burn coal, pollution will soar both at home and abroad. The increase in global-warming gases from China's coal use will probably exceed that for all industrialized countries combined over the next 25 years, surpassing by five times the reduction in such emissions that the Kyoto Protocol seeks.

The facts are clear: Our world is changing.

The message we sent: Our glas is half empty. We're going down the drain. It all fails.

What we want: Good changes, welfare for everyone, nice holidays, seeing awsum environments, wood, income, work, energy, warmth.

Stop thinking in problems, stop thinking in what you don't want. Start thinking in solutions, start thinking what you do want. Our glass is half full.

Have a look at The Secret.
