Living paintings by Alexa Meade →
Life imitating art! Follow the link above. You won’t be dissapointed.

The 24-year-old Meade burst on to the art scene last…

Shame Morales!
Dear friends, On Sunday, Bolivian police used tear gas and truncheons to crack down on indigenous men, women and children who are marching against an illegal mega-highway that will slice through the protected Amazon rainforest. 72 hours later, the country is in crisis — two key Ministers have resigned, Bolivians are erupting in street protests across the country, and President Evo Morales...

Environmental protests against solar panel factory
How ironic that a Chinese solar panel factory, a producer of something that’s supposed to be good for the environment, would be responsible for such adverse environmental impacts (see story here). These impacts were serious enough to provoke mass protests (not easy in an authoritarian state!), eventually forcing the plant’s closure. Something to think about next time you’re...
