The subjects we have covered in our newsletter are important ones; our motivation is to inform you, so that new thoughts can be born, a moment of consciousness takes place, a desire to do things differently. You can choose to think it is too late, but we can also believe our personal and daily actions can help change the course of things.
Beauty around us can bring us hope: a smile, a light, an affectionate gesture, and baby animals.
Thank you for your attention and don’t hesitate to let us share your comments with us. Also let us know of any reading that would kindle the next issue of our newsletter.
[1] Lester Russell Brown (born in 1934) is an American agro-economist and environmental analyst. Pioneer in research on sustainable development, he was one of the first – and most prolific - to write about problems linked to ecology
[2] Oil cakes The solid residue that is left after certain oily seeds, such as cottonseed and linseed, that have been pressed free of their oil. It is ground and used as cattle feed or fertilizer
[3] Primary forests a relatively intact natural forest which has not been disturbed or modified by human activity in several hundred years and is characterized by an abundance of mature trees
[4] A written declaration is a text of a maximum of 200 words on a matter falling within the European Union’s sphere of activities. Written declarations are printed in all the official languages, distributed and entered in a register. MEPs can use written declarations to launch or relaunch a debate on a subject that comes within the EU’s remit. A group of up to five MEPs can submit a written declaration by presenting a text to be signed by their colleagues. If the declaration is signed by a majority of the MEPs, it is forwarded to the President, who announces it in plenary. At the end of the part-session, the declaration is forwarded to the institutions named in the text, together with the names of the signatories. It is included in the minutes of the sitting at which it is announced. Publication in the minutes closes the procedure
