About Me

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. My world is the never-ending story and I expect to continue reading as long as I breathe!

Spreading the word

To my Canadian readers, the People’s Food Policy Project is a pan-Canadian network of citizens and organizations that is creating Canada’s first food sovereignty policy.

For those of you who absorb information only through youtube, one of my heroes presents the PFP: http://www.youtube.com/user/peoplesfood#p/a/u/1/PgtEZDw-aFg




Also, as Rio +20 approaches, the ETC Group is making sure that we know where the priorities should be and what the concerns are. The ETC Group is an environmental watchdog organization that, (among other amazing things) "address the socioeconomic and ecological issues surrounding new technologies that could have an impact on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable" (http://www.etcgroup.org/).
Another one of my heroes has a wonderful segment on

To listen, just click on the PLAY button at the top of the picture. His segment is from 27:40min, just after the wonderful Vandana Shiva.
