Saving Nature's Clean Up Crew - BirdLife's Campaign to conserve African ...

Vultures are transforming death into life and yet their own existence is in great danger because of man.  They must be saved, not only because they are vital for life but also because they have every right to.



Nairobi, Kenya
Most vultures are teetering on the brink of extinction across Africa. Considering the vital role they play in preventing spread of life-threatening diseases, we must do everything we can to save these unsung heroes.Read project description

From Lima to Paris: before the Global Climate Agreement

Before the global climate agreement for the protection of the climate in Paris during 2015, the negotiations hit red at the conference held in Lima, where a roadmap is being prepared.
This Friday 12/12 countdown started for the results that may effect the final decisions for the planet.
195 nations are committed to finalize a new agreement for the climate in Paris and climatologists warn that the later we make decisions the more difficult and costly will be for them to be applied. 
A battle rages in Lima, that will continue in Paris, between countries and public opinion who want serious and committed decisions and the big companies of oil and charcoal that try to prevent any progress of negotiations...

Go Vegan this January!

A big effort has started in Australia and U.S.A. to raise awareness and promote veganism.
The message is: try to go vegan for a month, this January!  It's a suggestion to start the new year with a life decision that can change the life of the people who will use this chance to listen to their bodies, the animals and the planet.  And watch the results.

He is not a piece of bacon!

They fight to live till their last moment, as we would...
Αγωνίζονται να ζήσουν μέχρι την τελευταία στιγμή, όπως θα έκανες κι εσύ...


...some die from thirst and some just waste water...

We save water with simple everyday acts.  Some of them save A LOT of water! 

Σώζουμε πολύτιμο νερό με μικρές απλές κινήσεις
- ...κλείσε τη βρύση όσο βουρτσίζεις τα δόντια σου (γλυτώνουμε 12 λίτρα νερού)
- ...αντικατέστησε ένα βοδινό μπιφτέκι με ένα μπιφτέκι λαχανικών (γλυτώνουμε 2.192 λίτρα νερού!!!)
- ...κάνε ένα ντουζ αντί για ένα μπάνιο (γλυτώνουμε 18 λίτρα νερού)

Our food is our medicine

Hippocrates told this.  More specifically he said "our food is our poison or medicine".  It can be whatever we choose, a curse or a blessing.
For people who heard about "The China Study" or its community or, even better, read this incredible book, this is a fact established by decades of study and experimentation.
But, even if the China Study hasn't come to you yet, there is a series of videos that show some things about the subject that will shake the calm waters of our sleep.  Dr. T. Colin Campbell is one of China Study's authors and also participates in the Forks Over Knives movement.  The video below is just a trailer to start the appetite and make you ask for more.  Curse or medicine?...

Gary Yourofsky's speech

After reading "The Liberation of Animals" I was wondering how much people had affected by the book or the movement in general to help the animals to come back to their normal way of life.  In fact, here in Greece, very few people would think like this even now.  So, I was glad and touched when I saw accidentally (if someone still believes in this word!) Gary Yourofsky's speech about animal cruelty and veganism.  I saw the whole video, I cried during the hard parts, and I wanted to hug him so so much and for some eternity (please, don't misunderstand!) because he is a child of this way of thought as I am and it was like I found a brother I had lost long ago in everyday routine.
This is a speech all humans should watch - I do believe this person can give the words "humane" and "humanism" a new meaning, much closer to their reality.
Please check.  It's not too long for its subject.


Thanks, Gary, for raising your voice for all of us who are just vegans and we don't have the courage to go all over and fight for our beliefs and for all non human animals on this wonderful marble in space. I am a fan.

p.s. the greek subtitles are for my greek fellow people who would mind to watch also the video - the english speaking ones can understand the simple and yet so effective language Gary speaks

compost fun

It's one of the most ecological actions someone can do for his/her garden or farm.  No need for chemical fertilizers and other substances that slowly destroy the earth, pollute the soil and kill everything alive around, even valuable insects and worms that nourish and heal the earth and her plants.
Pure natural, no smelling, a delicious full of nutrients treat for the plants to taste.  Happy plants, happy food for us.  And it's so easy to do it.  Needs time but not effort.
Compost is gold for gardeners and/or people who plant and want a really clean harvest that will ensure health and well-being.  But even for non organic cultivation, many cultivators use a percentage of compost in the soil to have better results.


How can it be done?  Composting involves mixing organic waste either from household or from the yard itself in a pile or bin and providing conditions that encourage decomposition. This is a process fueled by millions of microscopic organisms (bacteria, fungi) that take up residence inside the compost pile, where they continuously devoure and recycle the organic "waste" to produce a rich organic fertilizer and valuable soil amendment.  Captain compost is in fact Mother Nature that leads a natural procedure to make from things we would "normally" throw away valuable organic gold soil fertilizer.


The heroes are the common and yet unique earthworm and the other organisms that do the job.  Without them, earth wouldn't be able to sustain life.  So, you may not like them but they save our lives.

From garbage to garden and soil.  Simple and yet so effective.  I just love it!!!
