4 Convenient Moments

Here is another great video on Global Warming and what you can do to stop it. This video is like watching "An Inconvenient Truth" in Spanish in 4 minutes. Can't beat that! Unless, someone can find it in English.

Ayuda a Calderón

This video by Greenpeace in Mexico criticises the government of President Calderon for his policies related to tree planting projects. They claim that close to 50% of trees planted the first year die making the program less than 50% effective and funds highly wasteful. Their recommendation is to work with local Ejidos to fund them to plant trees and manage forests. See the video completed for http://www.rainforest2reef.org/ by Rana Lee TV, Guardians of the Selva Maya. This video shows a community program we support to do exactly what Greenpeace recommends.

The moral of the story: Environmental programs, like so many other projects, need local sponsors and local partners who have a vested interest in the success of the endeavor.
