			<description><![CDATA[
A important step to fight against the problem of global warming can be brought through the efforts of conference of parties including 180 countries beginning from today at the indonesia's resort island, bali.
it is important because it would decide upon the new policy to be brought after the completion of the kyoto ptotocol in 2012. it is unfortunate to note that that even after climatic changes due to global warming , the developed countries are not taking total concern of the problem or are not serious still
even after reprsenting as a major representative for the prevention of global warming , america still stands on not signing the kyoto protocol.
just before the bali summit the 3 different organizations of the UNO
 introduced the report on the global warming and increasing pollution , pointing out the rich countries  for the dreadfull cause . this report also points out that , if the required actions  preventing the spread of green house gases and their deposition in the environment are not taken presently than we are going to end up in destructions and there will be no way back then.
UN  framework convntion on climate change , reports that 40 industrial nations whaich say that they are working to controll their % of ghg's spread stands on the record breaking point of such spread. the report also points out that america , australia , china , india and memebers of the soviet unoin are responsible for the circumstances prevailing .
. WMO reports that there has been a breaking record - increase in the % of Co2 and nitris oxide in the atmosphere . even the UN development programme on the human development reports the same thing  and also alerts about the fact that if the same condition prevals in  the next 15 years as it had been the last 15 years there will be no way to controll this problem.
even some researchers says that this sumit is the last chance to savethe world from a fatal end.
since the rich rich nations do have a hand on the high ratios of the world resources  available , there efforts stand to be more binding over the prevention of this prblem.
hoping this conference of parties move up to a successfull end-- a revolution.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[when i think of myself  to be someone to change the situation i prefer myself to work on the roots , not just to see the strong stem or the ever widening spread or the ever prospering greenery but the strngth , the depth of the roots since what makes us strong  to fight any battle of insecurity , any battle of risk and any battle of mislead.since even if i am dieing from my body , my soul will ever live , since my roots are strong, since my thoughts are pure , since my culture has made me such .

so all you dear one's  when we talk about roots , we talk about roots , we talk about the way life should be , and the way it must ever go on .

seeing india , which is growing at a fast pace , with its economy growing as such its one dollar equivalent has changed from rs 50 to rs 39 just in 1 and a 1/2 year proves that this developing country will establish herself as a developed country soon.

but presently , when we talk about developing countries - the difference is clear -- the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer .
talking about the developed countries , even a swqeeper is paid - standard -with dignity -and ever there are effective laws to protect his rights.. and when we look upon developing countries , even a sweeper gets the same reaction as the scrap gets -- when its thrown in the dustbin-- < here such a personation is used since he is not treated as a common individual>
no one to fight for his rights -- 
no one to treat him as a human, when he is seen , he is seen as a slave or with pitty , or sometimes with disgust-- as a  servant he has to do the job somehow and anyhow , whatever it takes -- even his last drop of blood-- since he has a family to carry< every one has but for him its different>, his son's education , his daughter's marriage , for his food and life -- since its all "give and take" -- now-- and he has to pass somehow and anyhow.

yes its for sure some nay consider me as a pessimistic , who just see whats unimproved , or says a glass of water is half empty rather than half full.but believe me if it doent improve , one day we will loose them, or will find them on the other edge where thay would say--"its enough , my motherland gave me nothing , just ruins , hunger and disgrace."--someone to be called as a  dog who when fights for his rights , shot down being called as a mad one.believe me , these roots&nbsp;&nbsp;when not noticed or cared upon gets rotten away and in no way the tree&nbsp;&nbsp;which ever stood green remains green , its falls and dies.
when we do not consider or notice this section of people&nbsp;&nbsp;who are paid wages no satisfactory or enough in a sense we are discriminating them as we know that what we pay them is not enough for them to fullfill there basic requirements. belive me these people live on a single bread&nbsp;&nbsp;or even on garbage or even sit at the road side as begger for somone to have pity on them for even a peny a single day == striving and dieing.
no one to look upon ==just living for dieing and opening eyes to close them as soon as possible.
and when humanity dies , there arises < hatred , greed . acharnement, acromania...> the veil, since many dies but some get struck in the hands of crime , murders , and even terrorism--being the resident of the same country they burn there own country because they are fed up of the system--< they are sad ---its not there mistake to be born in a poor family -- or in a country which is suffering from terrororial wars , or in a draughted terrotory or a millitant possesed state-----they never wanted that -- but they are there to suffer why>-------they are fed up of the consequences and rthese peopleare promoted be the evil- the terrorism, to take there revenge, to contravene, and then they are just agnostic, a mass of flesh and bloodwho are without souls and now they require no condole, who require no condone, who no more have compunction and who no more possess chivalry, what they no is just revenge.

in the pace we are moving, we are giving away our feelings our emotions , our culture , our humanity which one's can be called the human property of chivalry.

we dont just need organisations we need to possess that heart , that emotions , that love-- which bring us together -- where there are no boundries since there are no evil minds- since love is in the air.

we dont just need technology or being advanced we just need is that beauty of heart , that love that brotherhood which bring us all together , irrespective of any discriminations.

we dont require the treatment of people on the basis of their standard or there money , we need to respect each and every one as our brothers our own blood that is the human blood----=========-------belive me even if we have a single bread , we would eat it as an enough meal to fill our stomach and give us a beautyfull sleep==========i know that we will be together-- and if we call that now a days, technology links us together i would say that , that day we would need technology in no way-- just we would turn our head and find our own brother standing there-in each sorrow and happiness.


I KNOW THAT SOMETHINGS TAKE A LONG TIME , SOMETHINGS LOOK DIFFICULT -- BUT BELIVE ME LOVE THE PERSON INFRONT OF YOU-- HE CAN BE ANYONE YOUR FRIEND , YOUR ENEMY, YOR SERVANT , YOUR CHILDREN, SOMEONE NEW TO U , SOMEONE IN NEED , SOMEONE , A STRANGER-----------------SPREAD LOVE IN THE AIR.
AND ONE DAY IT WILL BE AROUND THE WORLD LESS OF WORRIES AND MORE OF LOVE , HAPPINESS AND FAITH--------SINCE ITS THE MASTER OF ALL.:rose:

its sem in our everyday life-----i am not talking about the richest of the rich---because they really dont have simple life as we have
"dont u think --we often find people angry--with off mood, thinking , in deep feelings,--have we ever questioned whats happening to the world? have we ever?

i know optimism is the requirement of life---but why is it always neccessary to have someone to remind us to think positive---why?
is it not that we have our parents, our family to support us---i know its the truth.

but why is it being seemed ---that the society is falling short of love----there is a rise in hate----in greed , in selfness other than selfless
-------yes parents still have the same love ---but think whether the childeren are really provided with the same love ---they must get??


why is it that when we move we find crys, anger, ignorance, hate---all negations----------dont u think that theres sonme change theres some fault---------yes money is not happyness---wheres that love when we used to be together,,,, not as for money we move abroad and feel lonelyness but still make are heart to face lonelyness and hatein the new world where we survive presently---wwhy?

think why some people like to pull others back--why some show bullyness?
why sometimes being happy too we are sad.?
why even smiling we cry>

			<description><![CDATA[Hallo there all IWFI members,

I'd like to share with you one tv report about environmental education in the Amazon. I watched that last saturday in the televison broadcast station (TV Globo) in which I worked some years ago.

That is a kind of work I've been planning to do here personally: working raising people's awareness it's an action of cheap costs that can give a great and good exposition and projection to IWF.

I set the subtitles in english because as you know, in Brazil, our official idiom is portuguese.

So I previously apologise for my english that ain't in the advanced level yet.

Yet that video, I reedited just for us to weigh and discuss the possibilities of doing something like that in IWF. And of course publish videos like that of our actions in our video gallery in the Media Center subpage of the site and public pages like Youtube.

Please take a moment to check out the work Jarz Goh has done on the iwf website: http://www.jarzgoh.com/iwf/

Now, as we aspire to be democratic in our procedures, we request that you all cast your vote on this poll regarding the new homepage. Basically, you either approve or don't approve. Either way, any feedback you have is welcome. And if you don't approve, your feedback is required in order to clarify for the group your objection. 

(For the record, a dissenting vote must always be followed up by a rational dialog with other members to seek mutual understanding and ideally agreement. Failure on the part of any dissenting voter to participate in a meaningful dialog will result in the voiding of their vote.)

Cheers,
Kenny:musicnote:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, I'm not doing great at recalling details of the meeting. I did take some notes however, so I'll refer to those. I apologize for the lateness in getting these minutes posted. I've been snowed under this past week, topped off with a healthy dose of the flu...

Well, there were 7 people registered to attend the startup meeting for 6pm at Brueggers on Sat 28th April 2007. As it turned out, four of us showed up. Myself, Sarah Nelson, Kristen Dunaway and Michelle Blackwell. The four of us had a good conversation and covered a number of areas. Let me see if I can recall them as best I can.

1) We followed a format to the meeting that I had printed out from the Idealist site that they had provided as a suggested meeting agenda. The first item was: "Introductions: Who is here." We discovered a little about each other during this step.
2) The next several steps on the suggested agenda covered peoples reasons for attending, what they saw as being important matters to look into in the Nashville community and the world in general. These steps kept us pretty busy for the bulk of the meeting.
A central topic of our discussion involved an idea put forward by Sarah called "conservation media lab". Sarah's idea involved developing an organization dedicated to broadening public awareness of conservation issues through the media. As I understood it, she wanted to steer clear of such tactics as the use of celebrity spokespeople and high profile activity and instead aim for a campaign that was more left of center so to speak, but that was highly visible in a more subliminal way. Sorry Sarah if I'm not explaining it too well...:happy:
3) We discussed ideas about getting kids involved, and Kristen suggested that getting kids onboard would also get adults onboard, cuz adults listen to what's important to their kids. She also pointed out that kids have a fresh, undistorted perspective that should be highlighted. We all felt that this area was one very much worth pursuing.
4) Further down the list on the Idealist suggested agenda was the question of who else we wanted to get involved, and how best to reach them. The suggestion was put forward by Sarah I believe that we could put together fliers and put them around town on bulletin boards etc. Sarah, who is a graphic designer, was enthusiastic about designing something once we decide exactly what we're going to focus on, etc. 
5) The general concensus was that we wanted to see this little group grow in conjunction with the growing worldwide Idealist movement. We plan to list ourselves on Idealist as an existing Idealist group called Idealist Nashville. We discussed means by which we would keep in touch and different online options. We agreed initially to keep in touch via email, which we have been doing. During the course of our email correspondence we agreed to set up an Idealist Nashville forum here at the iwf online community. We all agreed that this location was a good one, and that the thrust of iwf would fall nicely in sync with the Idealist agenda. We also agreed that perhaps the two groups might prove mutually beneficial over time.
6) We all agreed that what the Idealist Nashville group should aim to do is to select a project to focus our energy on. We agreed that this is something we could continue to discuss, and that we didn't need to decide on a specific project at our first meeting.
7) Our plan at present is to meet monthly, and to coincide our meetings with the ongoing startup weeks being hosted at Idealist. At present I believe there are a round of startup/followup meetings scheduled for late May. I'll check at Idealist to verify this, and post a meeting shortly.
8) We also discussed the prospect of choosing a more central meeting place as some members travelled some distance to attend. Sarah was going to look into an alternative I believe.
9) Final comments at the meeting... Sarah felt that those who registered but failed to show were lame. The rest of us agreed. Kristen felt that the group was an exciting thing to be getting involved with and had a feeling that we would develop into something worthwhile. We all agreed there too.

Well, that's about all I can remember. Sorry guys if I left out anything. Please feel free to add to this. One thing I do remember is that this group had a very good conversation about a number of areas, and that I really was/am looking forward to continuing that conversation. Until our next meeting, I hope this forum can be a medium whereby that conversation can continue.

Looking forward to hearing from the rest of the Nashville Idealist group...

Cheers,
Kenny]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Howdy, this forum is specifically for members of the Idealist Nashville group. This group has emerged out of the global Idealist movement that has been underway for some time. If you aren't familiar with Idealist please visit http://www.idealist.org to find out more about this inspirational organization. 

I'm creating a forum here at the iwf online community for 2 reasons. One, Idealist is like a big brother to iwf. They are very much in sync with the whole vibe of iwf, but they've been around for a good ten or twelve years longer than us. And two, Idealist Nashville is the idealist group getting underway here in the region of planet earth where I'm living at the moment, and we needed an online facility where we can meet up. So what better place?

Sooo... welcome Nashville Idealists. Make yourself at home here. Who knows, maybe what we get up to may inspire others here at the iwfoc to look up an idealist group in their area, or perhaps even start one. Idealist is sponsoring startup meetings regularly, so get on it!! Also, maybe what the iwfoc gets up to will inspire the idealists!! Can you feel the love?

Lotsa love!!:heart:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Howdy, this forum is specifically for members of the Idealist Nashville group. This group has emerged out of the global Idealist movement that has been underway for some time. If you aren't familiar with Idealist please visit http://www.idealist.org to find out more about this inspirational organization. 

I'm creating a forum here at the iwf online community for 2 reasons. One, Idealist is like a big brother to iwf. They are very much in sync with the whole vibe of iwf, but they've been around for a good ten or twelve years longer than us. And two, Idealist Nashville is the idealist group getting underway here in the region of planet earth where I'm living at the moment, and we needed an online facility where we can meet up. So what better place?

Sooo... welcome Nashville Idealists. Make yourself at home here. Who knows, maybe what we get up to may inspire others here at the iwfoc to look up an idealist group in their area, or perhaps even start one. Idealist is sponsoring startup meetings regularly, so get on it!! Also, maybe what the iwfoc gets up to will inspire the idealists!! Can you feel the love?

Lotsa love!!:heart:
