LEA TOM AND ORDERED BY THE STATE TO BECOME SDF!
In a housing shortage! In an economic crisis!

The housing situation in Ariege is catastrophic; impossible to find rentals in the department, so that rural areas is undergoing desertification, wealthy tourists scoop on real estate. Young workers, socially integrated! Young people who have chosen to live in rural areas, so that revitalize the countryside! Youth deeply involved in a process of ecological habitat and preservation of nature!

were condemned by the State before the Correctional Court of Foix in the destruction of their habitat, a fine of 600 € and 10 € per day late fee. Their

CRIME: choosing Living in a tent (yurt) rather than die of cold outside!

They appeared at trial Feb. 9, 2010 following a complaint by DDEA * (a public service!) On the basis of articles of the Town Planning Code for a violation of building permits. They call and demand the right to relax and habitat SMALL ECOLOGICAL AND CHOSEN! the right to live, the right to work locally!

Unable to find a home, Leah and Tom, who live and work in Ariège decided in 2007 to settle in a tent, a yurt. An owner Toulouse lends them his land fallow in the middle timber in exchange for clearing and maintenance of the plot. They make a perfectly round tent, a yurt in wool and wood, they cut the felt to the mill in the Dordogne Belvès; chestnut poles are local, a master carpenter circle shapes the roof, the centerpiece ...

addition to the maintenance of the plot, they highlight the place, creating terraces to cultivate a garden and a garden ...

This was a long process of several months with a more than positive: the creation of a habitat well integrated into the landscape, with no environmental impact or quasi-zero on a site where biodiversity has been recreated (orchids grow back on the field!).

Tom and Lea chose to live there and work in the surrounding region, modestly, in an ecological and in the greatest respect for nature. They are well integrated locally: hosted and supported by the mayor and residents of the town, they registered as voters and asked to pay local taxes.

The inhabitants of the town's support since the beginning, a motion for the right to housing has even been passed by the council in response to the injunctions of DDEA *.

But it's probably too good! We must strive to destroy these initiatives (QED)! That is what will make the state utilities, in this case * DDEA which bases its complaint on the Planning Code on the pretext of the need for a building permit when the yurt is not a construction, not a building, not a permanent building with foundations! There are no walls ... TENT is a wool and wood! So habitat reversible, leaving no lasting imprint on the ground. You do not build a tent, it does not destroy a tent: you mount and unmount!

Moreover, there is a legal vacuum regarding this form of housing is not provided for in that town planning code. We remain stunned at the fury of public services in this matter, "when one knows what may otherwise be violations of the Town Planning Code! ...

Inouï the fate of the elected local small rural communities! The ruling ignores the position of mayor of the town, its city council and residents. What is decentralization? What about the revitalization of rural areas? What's territorial equity !

This file is the problem of housing rights, in particular the right of people of modest means in a context of severe economic crisis. Not only the amount of rent is prohibitive to build more than 50% of revenues from the smallest of us but in some areas dedicated to tourism as Ariege, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find accommodation ... What it's RIGHT TO HOUSING?

It also raises the issue of RIGHT TO WORK, right to shelter when it participates in local wealth through his work: how to hold jobs, be flexible, mobile ... how to create a business ... if it has no roof for shelter, and around which radiate?

Young people who choose to live within their duty in terms of ecology and nature conservation are convicted and punished by the state Corrections as criminals instead of being encouraged to support these initiatives!

So we must remind the government bonds it has set itself on the right to housing and the environment!

JUSTICE FOR TOM LEA AND ON APPEAL, THEY SHOULD GET THE ACQUITTED! AND THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN THEIR HABITAT YURT SELECTED ECOLOGICAL AND MODEST CITIZEN

ecomafia and Europe: a fifth of shipments of waste is dumped illegally

Italy. Naples-Constanza: cruises smelly, Courrier International, 20/01/11 Tommaso
Cerno L'Espresso

A large orchestra illegal traffic of waste by the Neapolitan mafia is poised to make Romania the biggest landfill in Europe .
The monster woke. "Ochiul Boului" (The bull's eye), the de-chetterie the most repulsive of Romania, woke up the day went for Naples, once again, overwhelmed by mountains of garbage. The spectrum of peril Italian - these containers of waste from Campania [province of which Naples is the capital] sent by the Camorra [Neapolitan mafia] - haunts the Romanian town of Glina. Despite the declarations the Berlusconi government, which promised to disposing of these stinking piles them located in different regions, Romanians fear that discharging cargo full of rubbish, because the financial stakes are enormous. And formal contracts with waste disposal companies in northern Italy report obviously less money to the Italian Mafia as toxic these cruises.
This is not the first time that freighters unload the waste illegally in Romania promised has other destinations. It would also not the first time an operation apparently lawful conduct is concealing Mafiosi. Anyway, they hardly come in Romania that Waste volatilize. In reality they are buried under "groapa" as people call them Romanians, "pits" monstrous or accumulate garbage rotting for several decades. They extend over tens of hectares, polluting the whole countryside.

The filth of Bucharest, layer after layer, were gathered together today to reach the point size of the hills surrounding the south-east of the Romanian capital engulf and Glina. Its inhabitants exude a stench since 1976, since the former communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu has decided to pile garbage Glina Bucharest. A multitude of tips, legal and illegal, similar to that of Glina have developed in the south. And it is the Italians who run the screens Romanian companies refuse treatment. A new phenomenon
alarm Interpol: Romania proliferation of a multitude of agencies handling waste from Campania. Everything leads to believe that the "new" discharge of Naples is currently building there. The project began three years ago, when this sector was led by former associate of Vito Ciancimino [mayor of Palermo in the 1970s, died in 2002, he was sentenced to thirteen years in prison for corruption and association Mafia] who had awards expansion of Glina, the incinerator in Ploiesti [60 km from Bucharest] and has some big dump Mures [center of Transylvania] and Baicoi [Wallachia]. At that time, investigators in Palermo prosecutors had succeeded in crossing the borders and block transactions: the former associates of the former mayor of Palermo were forced to liquidate all the companies and disappear into the limbo of Romanian law . But two years ago, the clan of the Italians decided to launch a modernization plan for a "Ochiul Boului" the biggest landfill in Europe.
With money from the EU
Meanwhile, many tentacles of the companies Pileri brothers of [former associate of Vito Ciancimino] are still rampant in Bucharest: in the garbage, real estate, fashion. The police know. She knows that some companies have changed names, others now belong to strangers and others to the Italians. These companies are immersed in an ocean consists of a hundred companies refuse treatment. Everyone knows each other. "Officially, there is no investigation at this time on the trafficking of Italian waste in Romania," explained the police. Yet, "off", they confirm that the alarm has already been learned.
Newspapers Romanian speak of "caracati" Italian octopus, the network of companies which share the new waste sector of the economy and green economy wind turbine in the country. Effect of increased controls on the southern border, at least ten Italian bigwigs were arrested last five years. At the same time, the number of Italian companies responding to calls for tenders for the creation of new landfill in triplicate.
The Italians are not the only ones to have sniffed it rich. Chinese mafia reign in the south, while the Russians have settled on the border with Moldova: they recycle toxic waste in the Republics of the former Union Soviet. But the Italian Mafia is still the most powerful. It was she who controls the north-west, Bucharest and its region, and throughout the south, up the Black Sea. And it is settled in the area longer.
For Italians, the wastes have nothing repugnant. Instead, they clean. They clean dirty money and exploit public funds -

the European Union is funding generously modernization projects of the Romanian system of waste disposal . And then the waste fill the accounts of the underworld. Finally, the state of emergency in Naples seems a goose that lays golden eggs. The government pays Brussels pays, everybody pays.
If companies sign contracts with Italian companies refuse treatment, they also know that the Camorra may disappear such waste for two or three times cheaper, mixing has other it would be unthinkable to elapse Italy.

This is not science fiction. This is the reality of the Black Sea. Since the entry of Romania into the European Union [1 January 2007] and while organized crime has seized the "green sector", it is a more fruitful walk than the drug . "With a double advantage: investments are zero, and it is possible to recycle torrents of dirty money in a country of the European Union. And the re-circulation ", says it was Interpol. Not only the waste that may be transferred to Romania, but the heart of the market. Garbage containers arrive by sea. After having crossed the Straits of the Dardanelles, they pass easily through the meshes of the borders, from the port of Constanta or Odessa and those Illichivsk, Ukraine.
Fake names, fake companies
An engineer Lombard has tried last year to penetrate the world's landfills. "That's how it works: Companies Romanian actually held by organized crime, get permission from municipalities to create landfills, "says he's Espresso. Recycling facilities and will soon see the day Cumpana. Others will have Traian near Tulcea.
"They should theoretically be used for urban waste and those of neighboring businesses. In fact, it does not happen like that. It's so rudimentary that, in most cases there is not even any trash cans. The municipality pays, but the vast majority of the garbage ends up in the hundreds of illegal dumps that have sprung up everywhere. short, companies official waste disposal, who have received permission to create the official dump, end up with millions of cubic meters to fill gaps with what they want. "

few weeks ago, the brigade's defense environment s is made to Glina. In the south, it stopped a truck carrying a cargo of mercury [who came from Italy] ... Today, if you go to Glina and speak Italian, you risk your skin. We are witnessing the same scenario in the south to Constanza, or a multitude of illegal landfills have disfigured the countryside. Recently, a foreign journalist has been beaten up: he wanted to investigate the scene and had presented with the safe conduct of an embassy. Romanian police and diplomatic offices have confirmed the incident. In Bucharest, advises everyone to take off - and no longer care for the "ecomafia" Balkan. Moreover, the problem does not exist. No ship docks here. And trucks is meant, at night, unload garbage foul are not real trucks. They disguise themselves as the waste they carry, behind false names and fake companies.
------------------------------------------------- ----
Repere. The unending crisis Waste
The Camorra (Neapolitan Mafia) began in the traffic garbage in the early 1970s, becoming "service" on behalf of municipalities in the region of Naples, to dump saturated. Much of its action is to take these wastes by burying them or leaving them on the outskirts of cities. In addition, there are wild fires volleys, which infest the region of dioxin and contaminate the entire food chain. Since the 1990s, the "garbage crisis" of Naples back episodes on the front of the stage. In 2007-2008, the photographs of the historic center of Naples
, overrun with filth, had made the international press. The crisis has resurfaced last AUTUMN. During several weeks, residents of Terzigno, near Naples, have included blocking access to their saturated discharge of garbage and organizes demonstrations against the mismanagement of government. Approximately 1,500 tons of waste still littered the streets of Naples and its environs. January 10, 100 tons of Neapolitan waste were evacuated to a discharge of Imola in northern Italy. and the municipality is currently negotiating to export to Germany, Austria and Spain.

Union Europeenne

The EU produces annually 2.6 billion tonnes of waste , 90 million tons are classified as "hazardous waste". The illegal dumping of one in five shipments of waste.

The Albanian government has announced that it intended to exempt 50 types of waste from any customs duty to encourage the importation of waste from abroad. However, environmental organizations are worried, the country has to date no serious drawplate recycling.
For over twenty years, says Le Courrier des Balkans, Albania and welcomes foreign waste is already "one of the most polluted in Europe."

sort the waste to improve the lives

Recycling. Sort waste to improve life in the slums of Lima, 20 Minutes, 14/01/11, 11:47
Audrey Chauvet

Ciudad Saludable The association does not want to see the waste piling up in poor neighborhoods ...
When she arrived in Lima to his studies, Albina Ruiz knew neither the waste nor poverty. Born in the jungle, she was shocked by the unsanitary of the Peruvian capital: "It was very difficult to spend all day in the mid- Waste and rats, "recalls she. Determined to improve the situation, she created an NGO in 1986, Ciudad Saludable (Healthy City "), which includes recycling in micro-enterprises and increases the amount of waste recovered and their income.

Albina is one of the "heroines" of the series "Architects of Change" which will air on TV5 Monde
spring.

Two dollars a day is ten dollars today
Recycling existed lorsqu'Albina has arrived in Lima, but primarily due to the abandonment by the local slums and the search for small income. The people who can not afford to pay the municipal collection service, waste recyclers and piled them amateurs salvaged what they could to sell it to middlemen. But the result was not good for the environment or for recycling, often hunted by the police or the "little masterpieces of discharge which meant that everyone working for them."
"Before, recyclers earned, on a good day, no more than two dollars (1.5 euros). Now they are organized, their earnings may go up ten dollars (7.5 euros) per day or more if they add value to the recovered material, for example if they cut the plastic and sell in small pieces, "says Albina Ruiz. His secret: to have reduced the work of recyclers by asking people to sort their waste and eliminate intermediaries.
"They needed help to change their ways of working, that is to say training, access to credit to buy their equipment, but also recognition," says Albina Ruiz. That's what worked Ciudad Saludable: recyclers have come together to increase the amount of waste treated, buy motorcycles or pickup trucks, and work under better conditions of hygiene.

Seven countries in Latin America, India and Africa soon
But to improve recycling, it should also convince people to sort their waste : "When we started to go door to door saying" We'll have to sort ", they told me" The municipality can, and why I would help this person have a job? "", recalls Albina Ruiz.
She then found motivation: a "good green" which offers a 20% discount on the cost of waste collection (1 euro per month) for people who adhere to the services of Ciudad Saludable.

After 25 years of existence, Ciudad Saludable opere in sixty cities in Peru and has helped nearly 200 people. "They realize that there are profits social, economic and environmental. It uses fewer natural resources, and of course we decrease the mountains of trash and it allows the creation of clean cities, "says Albina Ruiz.

In Peru, the principle has been supported by the new ministry of environment and could well spread elsewhere: "We are already working in seven countries in Latin America and India. This year we hope to arrive in Africa, "says Albina Ruiz.

recycling mattresses

Waste. Recycling, a new spring for mattresses , 20 Minutes, 12/01/11, 3:46 p.m.
Mickael Bosredon

The first recycling plant mattresses in France has just come into being in Paris region. She anticipates a legislative change that will force a recycle mattresses early 2012 ...

It has Limay, Yvelines, that mattresses are finally offer a second life. In recent weeks, a mattress recycling plant has set out in a huge hangar at the port area of the city, bordering the Seine. A first in Europe this scale.
Every day, six employees take delivery of 300 to 400 mattresses, then they cut, sort, store, prior to return the material to various courses, such as automotive, carpet Soil, biomass ...

"springs, wooden frame, foam, felt, latex ... 95% of materials are reusable" ensures Franck Berrebi, Director General of Recyc Mattress Europe, company mounted a joint venture (consortium) with a Canadian company of the same name. "We have approximated it to bring us his expertise on the subject, and it entered into our capital was 30%," says Jeremy Settbon, president of Recyc Mattress Europe.

partnerships with hotel chains and bedding
The young company has already spent a partnership with the company's bed, some communities and hotel chains. "We are also in contact with Center Parcs, Conforama, which receives 125,000 a year old parts in Ile-de-France, and Ikea," says Jeremy Settbon. "But the launch of the company, we went-we recover the same mattress at the foot of the buildings." The individual may also bring your mattress directly Mill. But it will cost € 9.40 piece. scales down to 6 € room for large volumes.
The rate of the plant should ramp up in coming months to reach its cruising speed of 1,500 pieces per day, or 8,000 to 10,000 tons per year, early next year.
That is to say when applying a new decree that will require a recycle mattresses. So far, they end their lives in a landfill (TRC).

Some 5 million would mattresses and buried each year.

Recyc Mattress Europe also wants to open more factories in France, first in the East and in Northern France. "We need one approaches the deposits, to limit transport by road, Franck Berrebi explains. Ultimately, our ambition is to take 25 to 30% of the market. "

How Soon Can You Wear A Girdle After Giving Birth

record industry's bread making a wand is like leaving a lit 60-watt bulb for 27 hours

Why stick will burn, Terra Eco 19/01/11
Philippine Arnal

In a few weeks, you will pay your bread more expensive. Discover who mistreats grains of wheat, your wallet and your health ... .
is written: the bread will still rise by 4 to 5 cents by next April. Whose fault? Climate, my good lady because of drought and floods in Russia, Australia, world production of wheat will be lower than consumption in 2011. And even if the United States compensate with their very good harvest. The wheat for making bread sold in France is yet Gallic was 98%, you answer. Certainly, but before the future of power stocks, hex spikes may being exported to our neighbors, lessening our reserves. Suddenly, the price of wheat and the flute will burn. It is written, you say.
And if France itself was forced to bring his wheat from abroad? It would not improve the carbon footprint of white wand, which she represents three quarters of sales, up 9 billion rolls per year in France !

must say that the field carbon footprint is seriously floured because the conventional farmer has lead 63% .
The culprits? Not his machinery, but the volume of pesticides and chemicals used. Once harvested, grains wheat are stored by traders or cooperatives who in turn treat them chemically or by blowing dry up to protect them from pests. The wheat is then transported to a mill located within a radius of less than 250 km. First moistened, then sucks it to the crusher and screener. Much more energy that is produced by the long wind or by water. Finally
to offer a range of flour that makes life easier for its customers, the Miller adds her magic potion: a pinch of anti-blister to avoid the unsightly bubbles on the crust, some conservatives and the powder is ready for use. At this stage, the smell of good bread crisp are still far from the nostrils of the customers and yet, flour already represents 70% of the environmental impact of future wand.
A crumb that will not stick
flour, delivered in bulk or in bags, then arrives at the bakery or manufacturer. In turn, the manufacturer adds its dose of bread improvers and emulsifiers for the economy does not fit or do not file . "Used in small quantities, the impact of these products is mainly due to transport, the precise pole Adrien Meskel Research and Innovation National Institute of baked pastry. ascorbic acid, for example, often comes from China.
Yet in some professional in doubt about the safety of the twelve baking additives used in France (1). Doubt confirmed implicitly by the official filing in 1993, the bread recipe "of French tradition," a wording that ensures that the bread does not contain any of these additives. From suggested that these biochemicals are perhaps at risk to our health ...

Anyway, the baker in trouble or industrial work continues and mixing flour, water, salt homogenized yeast and quietly. Then divided into dough pieces, it sits and ferments in a few hours room "shoot" at 24 ° C before finishing in the oven - electric or gas - a 250 ° C for twenty minutes. Practices and results differ from a traditional bakery (65% of production) has a plant (24%) or the bakery shop of a large area (9.7%), but ultimately the environmental balance is roughly equivalent: the second position is the most impacting baking bread (and deep-freezing of equipment - a -115 ° C! - for industry). The energy used by electrical trouble and proofer are the icing on the cake of carbon.

Papers that weigh heavy
Long, ribbed, the gilded crest: the baton was finally. His journey is not finished yet. Its smell invades the streets and attract customers ... who takes his car to come and buy a bakery and take home. The industrialist, he must, deliver its outlets. La Mie Caline group, which manufactures its goods in Vendee, supplies and twice a week its 200 stores in France. Paths which represent 4.5% of its carbon footprint, about the same as the displacements of its customers (4%)! and it is still possible to improve freight, consumer ratings, it is difficult to act.

For industry groups, another extension is to improve: paper and supplies schedules weigh nearly 10% of the balance sheet. Mandatory in self-service shops, the packaging of bread is less present among craftsmen. "It represents 3% to 5% of the price of a baguette for a baker. Now a fully biodegradable product costing three times more expensive, "says one in Prestibox, a company specializing in packaging for bakery pastry. To choose as preferred the "unwrapped" rather than a bread three times more expensive in ecological paper! Upon arrival, the manufacture of a wand is like leaving a lighted 60-watt bulb for 27 hours (2).

Authenticity and regionalism
Anyway, that's it, pretty wand is finally on the table. But the cocktail pesticides, chemical additives or Chinese, miles driven and paper disposable packaging is a little on the stomach. So is there no alternative? In many regions, to boost the agricultural sector, local breads were created, playing on the authenticity and regionalism. Without being labeled organic. But in the general confusion, the confusion is quickly made.
Over 100 bakeries, the 33 000 that has the french territory, thereby offering Bleuette. Behind this name hides the Peasant Economic Interest Grouping culture and resources controlled (GIECRC) which includes 1,030 producers of wheat, 22 storage agencies hundreds of bakers and millers.
All follow a "private repos. Translation? This is a specification developed by a private company, which belongs to him and whose content is classified "secret defense." It is therefore not publicly available, even on request. It is not subject to YOUR DOCTOR 'S not a public body or approved by the State. short, anything but a label. is why he raised questions and criticisms from the bakers and millers. Just know that the wheat-tone used to manufacture products with the blueberries are principles "more stringent" than those of the farming which, itself, is intended "to reinforce the positive impacts of agricultural practices on the environment and reduce the negative effects, without jeopardizing the economic viability of farms. "After the official texts. The grains are not treated after harvesting and the bread is manufactured according to the recipe of "tradition". Seductive but enigmatic, the blueberries!

Face it, the stick labeled AB represents between 1.3% and 2% of the french market. Part of the flour that has made the beautiful future of Europe if it chooses the "tradition", it remains a sure value for organic purists. Caution, however, some breads are imported for answering the request.
(1) These substances can provide aesthetic features to bread or facilitating the work of the baker. Each country, each culture has different tastes, there are 102 in Europe!

What's The Song In Pixar Cars

BORLOO, shale gas, money, abuse of power and ... death of Ecology

France Nature Environnement and its member associations have discovered with astonishment the huge number of exclusive licenses to search for unconventional hydrocarbons, especially shale gas, issued by the previous Minister for the Environment Borloo on huge areas without any information being given to the public and associations, in contradiction with the Aarhus Convention [1].

Hydrocarbons my love hot!

Rising oil prices makes it very competitive hydrocarbon resources called unconventional, hitherto neglected, too expensive and too dangerous to operate. Alas, if the rise in oil prices makes renewables desirable, it also pushes the man into a corner as it has become in an age dependent on hydrocarbons. matter that these hydrocarbons are responsible for global warming that threatens our survival ! No matter that France's commitment divide by four gas emissions greenhouse gases? Whatever the risk of water pollution for which we are committed, with all Europe, to achieve "good status" from 2015, so tomorrow?

Shale Gas: micro-earthquakes and severe pollution

Hydraulic fracturing, a technique used to date to exploit shale gas deposits in the United States and Canada, is of great violence since is to create micro-earthquakes to fracture the rock, sending thousands of cubic meters of water, sand and various chemicals (over 500), including carcinogens, mutagens and reproductive toxins in order to recover the gas. In addition, each well could drain a small amount of gas, we must dig a very large number, very close to each other, with the footprint and the induced impact on the landscape. These wells have already caused pollution of ground water made unfit for consumption in the United States, to fossil aquifers where water was untouched for thousands of years.

Open debate about the risk

Under these conditions, FNE questioned the wisdom of going to this technique. Bruno Genty, president of France Nature Environnement "Clearly, once the exclusive license to search distributed, once the investments made by industrialists to find exploitable areas, operations will go ahead if the discoveries are profitable regardless of the environmental risks . So before you begin the research it begs the question of possible exploitation by assessing the likely consequences. "

face of scant information on permits granted exclusive research during 2010 for non-conventional hydrocarbons, the federation France Nature Environment (FNE) is asking ministers for the environment and energy to enter the National Commission for Public Debate (CNDP) before any decision to operate and take a moratorium on permits already issued. She also asked to Europe expertise on the coherence of EU policies in order to verify whether the possible exploitation of oil threatens the implementation of directives water and energy and climate change.
