Cultivate Sustainble LIving Centre, Dublin announces a series of practical skill building courses on climate change and energy. The season of learning and acivity is being kicked off by Jeremy Leggett, UK who jumped from the oil industry to Greenpeace, and now is promoting conversion of all housing stock to solar. He is doing it not with words, but by providing the technology directly through Solar Century Ltd. He will be meeting with potential partners while in Dublin, hoping to set up a branch here. This is part of the response to climate change we should all examine. It puts the power (literally) back into each of our hands, and moves forward a survival agenda which government is ignoring. read full story / add a comment

Right-wing Sarkozy (Minister of the Interior), famous for provoking and fanning the riots of 2006 (see http://ie.indymedia.org/article/74925 ) has proposed a new law which would make it illegal for anyone except an accredited journalist to take footage of violence. The irony of the timing has not been lost on many as Tuesday was the anniversary of the Rodney King beating in LA which sparked what locals call the "uprising" and others call the "LA Riots". read full story / add a comment
