Zero Waste Alliance Ireland, VOICE and An Taisce present:

Low Cost Solutions to Ireland's Waste Crisis

Friday, 21 November 2003, Tailor's Hall, Back Lane Dublin 8

As Ireland looks to the future, solutions to our escalating waste crisis
must be found which are cost effective and safe.

This conference will examine international experience of such solutions and
seeks to place these in the Irish context.

In today's more constrained economic context, valuable lessons can be
learned from international experience to inform decisions about how to
manage our waste in a manner that is sustainable while delivering value for
money. The conference will hear from international experts on both the
practical aspects and broader economic implications of low cost solutions. read full story / add a comment

Europe is following the US in the snoop technology of the century. They will be supplying their citizens a health indentity card with an embedded microchip. Sounds good, but wait there's a catch. You will be able to be tracked everywhere you go, and have a brand with you almost like the cow. Plans are to eventually insert these into your beautiful body. Could this be the mark of the beast talked about in the Christian Bible? Could this be the final way to keep track of all of us without employing so many security guards, and policemen? Could this be a method of marking certain types of people as they did in the Holocaust? Please read the story from telegraph.co, and decide if this is what you want? read full story / add a comment
