Our letter on Climate Change to the Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP

There has been a dearth of contributed material for some time now and if this remains the case we shall remove this section. In the meantime you might be interested in our own letter which we sent to the UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
The letter pointed out that he was in a unique position, during 2005, to influence international action on energy use, to reduce climate change, and it offered some detailed arguments and suggested a strategy.
We received a standard acknowledgement of receipt but nothing to indicate that the time we spent creating the letter was worth the effort.

Truly Unimaginable Magnitudes
(The Bad, The Good and The Ugly)
(30 August 2007)

 

We produced a trilogy which discusses the threats posed by nuclear energy and contrasts this form of energy generation with benign renewable sources. This argument claims that there is more than enough renewable energy available, given some research and development, so that there is no need to rely on nuclear

Treading on Our Dreams
© Veronica-Mae Soar (February 2000)

Though man has walked upon the moon
(And probably on Mars quite soon)
About this world he has no care,
He poisons land and sea and air.

Where once the awesome forest stood
We see bare land which grows no food.
How many people do you think
Have water which is safe to drink ?

The earth is plundered for its store;
Insatiable, we cry for more.
Yet landfill mountains grow apace -
We're swiftly running out of space

While monstrous concrete marches on
How many more green fields have gone ?
Yet in our cities there is still
Space for more dwellings - given the will.

Polluted air that threatens life !
Asthma and breathing problems rife.
Where once we walked we have a car,
We ride, although it's not too far.

The adverts in our living room
Still motivate us to consume.
"I'm tired of yellow, I want blue".
Discard the old, bring in the new.

The earth IS bountiful, it's true;
But now it's up to me and you
To think of children yet to wake,
And 'tread more lightly' for their sake.
