FINALLY SOME MAINSTREAM CLIMATE JUSTICE"Christian Aid, a UK based network of Churches working to end poverty, has just launched a report highlighting the limitations of poverty alleviation efforts due to climate change. 
The report states that 182 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone could die of disease directly attributable to climate change by the end of the century. Christian Aid wants to bring attention to the issue of poverty and climate change to urge the UK government to take leadership in stopping global warming. The report also underlines the potential for a clean revolution lead by renewable energy in the development world. For more details, please visit Christian Aid." [via IGHIH]

OUR INSPIRATION...
"I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust,
and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to
arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality
expressing the highest respect for the law." --Martin Luther King Jr.
