- Some communities are printing their own currency for local use - It's legal as long as currency doesn't resemble U.S. dollars and is paper only - Any income from business conducted in local currency is subject to taxes - Some businesses say local currencies keep people spending locally. Steve Carlotta's family-owned camera store is struggling along with other mom and pop stores. But he's found a way to compete with Internet stores and big-box chains. Carlotta's store accepts BerkShares -- a local currency in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He credits it with helping keep local customers coming back to his store. And as U.S. dollars and credit vanish in this economic crisis, more communities are looking into printing their own currencies. This concept isn't new. During the Great Depression dozens of complementary currencies flourished as thousands of banks failed. Today, it's estimated there are at least 2,500 complementary currency systems around the world, says Bernard Lietaer, a co-founder of the Euro and a local currency proponent. In the United States, there are alternative currency systems in California, Wisconsin, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Massachusetts. BerkShares are a form of local currency developed in the Berkshire region of Massachusetts two years ago. About 350 merchants accept BerkShares in addition to U.S. currency. People pay 95 federal cents to get one BerkShare or $95 for 100 BerkShares.

MDG 4: Reduce Child Mortality aims to reduce the under‐five mortality rate by two‐thirds between 1990 and 2015. Malaria is a leading killer of children in Africa, where a child dies every 30 seconds from a malaria infection. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against deadly, malaria-carrying mosquitoes that bite at night. Nothing But Nets partners with the United Nations to deliver the nets to even the most hard-to-reach areas of Africa. For just $10 we can buy a bed net, distribute it to a family, and explain its use. You and your community play a vital role in reducing child mortality. Take action to raise awareness of the MDGs and help the world reduce child mortality by 2015 at www.unfoundation.org.

United Nations, 4 October 2010 - Governments, the private sector and civil society have to work much more closely together if the world is to build and sustain better cities, which are now home to more than half the global population, United Nations officials said today.

United Nations, New York, 19 August 2009 - In a message marking the first World Humanitarian Day, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the UN continues to draw inspiration from the legacy of the people who were killed in Baghdad, and noted that the Sergio Vieira de Mello Foundation is establishing an annual prize in his name to recognize outstanding achievements in the peaceful reconciliation of conflict. Mr. Ban said that the men and women who serve as humanitarian workers come from many backgrounds. But they share a conviction that one persons suffering is everyones responsibility. He stressed the need for the international community to renew our commitment to help vulnerable, voiceless and marginalized people wherever they may be. That is the abiding mission of the humanitarian community.

Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation. more information on http:www.davidsuzuki.org BigUp to my friend Sebastian Sturm for letting me use his song... yes bredgin, TELL THEM THE TRUTH!!! http:www.sebastian-sturm.com http:www.myspace.comsebastiansturm

As natural resources become commodities and farming families lose the capacity to fulfill their own basic needs, Medha believes that the consumerist paradigm may end up destroying living communities.

live on "going home" DVD lyrics: Some of them were dreamers And some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent They were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring With their hearts they turned to each others heart for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Some of them new pleasure And some of them knew pain And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered And on the brave and crazy wings of youth They went flying around in the rain And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered And in the end they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings And exchanged loves bright and fragile glow For the glitter and the rouge And in the moment they were swept before the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high And let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal its secrets by and by By and by-- When the light thats lost within us reaches the sky Some of them were angry At the way the earth was abused By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power And they struggled to protect her from them Only to be confused By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour And when the sand was gone and the time arrived In the naked dawn only a few survived And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high And let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal its secrets by and by By and by-- When the light thats lost within us reaches the sky

United Nations, New York, 21 April 2011 - The world must dramatically step up its existing efforts to conquer malaria if it is to reach the goal of near zero deaths from the disease -- which, despite being preventable and curable, currently kills almost 800,000 people every year -- by 2015, the United Nations warns today. Ahead of World Malaria Day, which is officially observed on Monday, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the goal will not be met unless there is "an extraordinary intensification" in two key areas.

United Nations, New York, 16 October 2009 - Today is World Food Day. The theme this year is achieving food security in times of crisis. Marking this occasion, the Secretary-General says in a message that over the past two years, volatile food prices, the economic crisis, climate change and conflict have led to a dramatic and unacceptable rise in the number of people who cannot rely on getting the food they need to live, work and thrive. The Secretary-General calls on all to respond to respond to the needs of the hungry -- by ensuring adequate political and financial support for emergency food assistance and by investing in food production and distribution. Meanwhile, the World Food Programme (WFP) is calling on the world to remember the more than one billion urgently hungry people with inadequate access to food. World Food Day is actually No Food Day for almost one out of every six people around the world this year, said WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran. She added that for decades, WFP has been able to feed around ten per cent of the world's hungriest men, women and children, but this year, for the first time, the agency is unlikely to reach that target. And Jacques Diouf, the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Programme (FAO) asked world leaders to reach a road consensus on the total and rapid elimination of hunger when they gather in Rome for the World Summit on Food Security, on November 16-18.

Are you feeling the pain of the global economic crisis? Most of us are. -- In the shops, at the fuel pumps, at the money distributor. All over the world, the poorest among us are struggling to survive, struggling to provide food, or wondering when they will eat again. Just as we are all affected by the situation, we can all change it. Do you want to do something about it? You and I can change the world; make it a better place for you and all our children. Globalization makes our task all the more easy. The children are our future. Their hope is in your hands. What happens to children in their first period of their lives is essential in their development (intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and morally), and thus the development of our society and the world.

Exploring the potential for the FDU (www.freedigitaluniverse.com) Virtual Economy to become real enough to address poverty, environment, and Millenium Development Goals (MGDs) such as universal education. FDU is a economy that pays people for participating, and also funds charities; corporations acting as Vendors in the FDU virtual forum earn profits - everyone wins! In this time of crisis, let us explore the potentials of the information age to expand access to emerging markets to empower a truly global economy, this is doable once the poor have a means to earn into the virtual knowledge marketplace. This is our purpose, a free equal human rights forum, with a universal e-currency solvent that is backed by real (public) money, that supports, individuals, charities, and commerce partners. Is this possible you ask, yes, consider this: What if Virtual Worlds were real? What makes them real is their economy. So what if we could buy real goods instead of just virtual products with our earnings? And what if we could include the entire emerging marketplace of users who have no way to currently participate in e-commerce for lack of a cred card? One purpose of the FDU model is to allow those emerging market users who have no credit card or bank account a means to earn into the economy as marketers, publishers, consultants, and through auctions of real world goods. With those earnings they can now purchase Digital Goods and services, or if they have a local exchange (called a SCALE) they can use their earnings in a local barter exchange.
