Tanks for the HolidayAn Israeli soldier who just enlisted asked the Command-

ing Offi cer for a three-day pass. The CO says “Are you crazy? You just join the Israeli

army, and you already want a 3-day pass? You must do some-thing spectacular for that sort of recognition!”

So the soldier comes back a day later in an Arab tank! The CO was very impressed and gave the man his 3-day pass with the promise of an offi cial report on the soldier’s return.

After the leave was over, the CO asked the soldier if he could tell him, in brief, how he managed the feat, before sub-mitting the report.

“Well,” the soldier began “I jumped in one of our tanks, and went toward the border with the Arabs. As I approached I notice an Arab tank, and that the hatch cover was open. I jumped off my vehicle and rushed up the side of the Arab tank and shouted inside.

“Yes, yes” said the CO, “what did you say?” The soldier paused for moment, and then said “I asked

the Arab ‘do you want to get a three-day pass?’”Testing Time

Krusty and Scruffy applied for a single position at a scaf-folding company. They both had the same qualifi cations. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a test by the supervisor.

Upon completion of the test, both men had each missed only one of the questions.

The supervisor went to Scruffy and said, ‘‘thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the job to the other applicant.’’

“And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct,” muttered Scruffy.

“We have based our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed,” said the supervisor.

“And just how could one incorrect answer be better than the other?” Scruffy demanded.

‘’Well,’’ said the supervisor, ‘’your fellow applicant an-swered question 5 with ‘I don’t know.’ You put down, ‘Nei-ther do I.’’’

Burmese Tragedy By Gwynne Dyer

Empty monasteries, severed tele-communications, and a sullen, beaten silence that seems to envelop the whole country. It doesn’t just feel like a defeat for the Burmese people; it feels like the end of an era. It was an era that began at the other end of South-East Asia two decades ago, with the non-violent overthrow of the Marcos regime in the Philippines by “people power” in 1986.

For a while, non-violent revolutions seemed almost un-stoppable: Bangladesh, South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia all followed the Filipino example, overthrowing military rule and moving to open democratic systems after decades of op-pression. China itself almost managed to follow their exam-ple in the Tienanmen episode of 1989, and then the contagion spread to Europe.

The Berlin Wall came down in late 1989, the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe melted away with scarcely a shot fi red, and by 1991 the Soviet Union itself had gone into liq-uidation. It was the threat of similar non-violent action that fi nally brought the apartheid regime in South Africa to the ne-gotiating table in the early 1990s. Right into the 21st century the trend continued, with undemocratic regimes being forced to yield power by unarmed protestors from Serbia to Georgia to Nepal. But there were always the exceptions, and excep-tions are always instructive.

The greatest exception, in the early days, was Burma it-self. Entranced by the seeming ease with which their South-East Asian neighbours were dumping their dictators and em-boldened by the transfer of power from General Ne Win (who had been in power for a quarter-century) to a junta of lesser generals, Burmese civilians ventured out on the streets to de-mand democracy. The army slaughtered three thousand of them in the streets of Rangoon, whisking the bodies away to be burned, and the protestors went very quiet.

It was this success for repression in Burma that gave the Chinese Communist regime the confi dence to do the same thing on Tienanmen Square the following year, and it worked there too. People went very quiet after the massacre on the Square, and the regime is still fi rmly in power eighteen years later. Non-violent protest is a powerful tactic, but no tactic

New options for greener vehicles

(NC)-Spend a little more, save a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. A lot of new vehi-cles now offer environmen-tally-friendly options. Look for these hot new options to go green behind the wheel:

• Real time fuel con-sumption gauges that show you exactly what your fuel consumption is as you drive.

• Tire pressure monitors that tell you when your tires are running low. However, Natural Resources Canada still recommends that you measure your tire pressure at least once a month

• Run-fl at tires, or zero pressure tires, can be driven at normal speeds, for some distance, without any change in air pressure despite cuts or punctures.

• Air conditioning and cruise control with fuel econ-omy settings. Some cruise control settings actually tell the driver when they’re speeding, when to slow down or even when they’re driving too close.

• The fl ex fuel option uses a combination of convention-al gasoline and an alternative such as ethanol, up to 85 per cent. Ethanol is a greener fuel because it’s a by-product of renewable resources such as feedstock and plant life.

Transportation is a lead-ing cause of greenhouse gas emissions. It’s worth it to do a little homework on how to make your next major purchase a green one. Visit ecoaction.gc.ca/vehicles for more information on buying fuel-effi cient vehicles.

By Dan Parker

The following was written before the municipal election.

In the recent, hard-fought mayoral elec-tion campaign, many citizens of Whitecourt took a public stand on which candidate they supported. Even though the election is over, it is human nature for the oppos-ing camps to feel loyalty towards supporters and disquiet with opponents. Sometimes those whose candidates were not elect-ed choose to withdraw from the projects that they held near and dear during the election. Being a smaller community, this loss of participation can slow down or sub-optimize needed improvements for such things as daycare and healthcare.

It is, of course, good to be able to proceed on each issue based on the merits of the case rather than on the person-alities of the participants. In systems theory this is known as putting the ‘what’ over the ‘who’. However, it is unrealistic to expect previously warring factions to easily co-operate on many issues once the election is over. How to best encour-age all parties interested in community affairs to continue to contribute to the issues that are important to them could be a

mud, sand, and silt which became rock, thereby sealing the reef. The marine life was therefore trapped and, under temperature and pressure changes, the soft remains of the organisms disintegrated and were converted into gas.” (Reprinted from Kay-bob South -#3 booklet, with permission of Chevron Can-ada Resources.)

In 1947 the news of the Imperial Oil Leduc Oil Well No. 1 started the post war oil boom in Alberta. Oil was discovered in the D-3 fi eld, in the Sturgeon Lake area in 1955. In early 1957, oil was discovered in the Vir-ginia Hills fi eld of the Swan Hills formation by Home Oil Co. Ltd., sparking a fl urry of oil and gas exploration in the area. In June 1957, Phillips Petroleum Com-pany completed the drill-ing of their very signifi cant discovery well, No. A-7-22, located at Jerry Lake in 7-22-64-19-W5M. The dis-covery well was named Phil-lips Kaybob. The Kaybob Field is part of the Devonian Beaverhill Lake, a lime-stone formation, part of the large Swan Hills formation. Half of the major discover-

ies made between the years 1957 to 1959 occurred in an area just 70 miles in diam-eter, in the Beaverhill Lake formation. Prior to 1962, the Beaverhill Lake, Leduc and Pembina oil fi elds contained more than three quarters of

the known crude oil reserves in Canada. By 1967 more than 1,800 wells had been drilled in the Beaver Lake formation resulting in the discovery of 12 oil fi elds and two gas fi elds.

Be careful what you pray forA man was sick and tired of going to work every day

while his wife stayed at home. He wanted her to see what he went through each day, so he prayed “Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours of hard work, while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please create a trade in our bodies”. God, in His infi nite wisdom, granted the man’s wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home ..... picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw money to pay the electricity and telephone bills.

He drove to the electricity company and the phone com-pany and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries. He cleaned the cat’s litter box and bathed the dog. By then it was already 1:00 pm, so he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen fl oor.

He rushed to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home which he had to sort out in a gentle ‘motherly’ fashion. He set out cookies and milk and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and was able to watch a bit of TV while he did the ironing. By then it was 4:30 pm, so he began peeling potatoes and washed greens for salads. He prepared the chops and fresh vegetables and got everything ready in time for an early dinner.

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9:00 pm he was exhausted and although his chores weren’t fi n-ished for the day, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without com-plaining. The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said “Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home all day. Please, O please, let us trade back!”

The Lord, in his infi nite wisdom, replied, “My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You’ll just have to wait 9 months though, because you got pregnant last night”.

works in every contingency. To be specifi c, non-violent protest does not work against a regime that is willing to commit a massacre, and can persuade its troops to carry out its orders.

The emotion that non-violence works on is shame. Most people feel that mur-dering large numbers of their fellow citizens on the streets in broad daylight is a shame-ful action, and even if the privileged people at the top of a regime can smother that emotion, their soldiers, who have to do the actual killing, may not be able to.

If you cannot be sure your soldiers will obey that order, then it is wise not to give it, since you present them with a dilemma that

can only be resolved by turn-ing their weapons against the regime. Better to negotiate a peaceful withdrawal from power. So non-violent revo-lution often succeeds — but not if the army is suffi ciently isolated from the public.

The isolation can be achieved by indoctrina-tion, but physical separation helps too. Before the Chinese regime ordered the attack on Tienanmen Square, it with-drew the entire Beijing garrison (which it believed to be con-taminated by close contact with the public), and replaced it with divisions brought in from the deep interior of the

country. The killing was car-ried out by country boys to whom the sophisticated resi-dents of Beijing looked like alien beings, people about whom almost any lie seemed credible.

The Burmese army is profound-ly isolated from the civilian pub-lic. Its offi cers, over the decades of military rule, have become a separate, self-recruiting caste that enjoys great privileges, and its soldiers are country boys —

not one in a hundred is from Rangoon or Mandalay. The regime has even moved the capital from Rangoon to the preposterous jungle “city”

of Naypyidaw, a newly built place whose only business is government, in order to in-crease the social isolation of its soldiers and servants.

So when the protestors came out on the streets again in the bigger Burmese cities after nineteen years, led this time by monks whose pres-tige made many believe the army would not dare touch them, the regime simply start-ed killing again. The death toll this time is probably no more than a tenth of that in 1988, for people got the mes-sage very quickly: nobody who defi es the regime is safe. Not even monks.

The Burmese are now pinning their hopes on for-eign intervention, but that was never going to happen.

protest does not work against a regime that is

willing to commit a massacre, and can persuade its

troops to carry out its orders.”

Sooner or later the extreme corruption of the army’s se-nior offi cers will destroy its disci-pline, but mean-while it is prob-ably more years of tyranny for Burma, with only Aung San Suu Kyi, the heroic symbol of Bur-mese democracy who lives under semi-permanent house arrest, to bear witness against it.

It is not the end of an era, however. In other places, against other repressive re-gimes, non-violence still has a reasonable chance of suc-

ceeding. It never did work in Burma.

UN Rapid Reaction ForceIncludes excepts from Internet - A U.N. Rapid Reaction

Force is an idea that has been around since the formation of the U.N. after WWII. With each atrocity committed by gov-ernment forces around the world, the idea receives new cur-rency. The Rwandan massacre was one such event.

Polling has shown that a majority of citizens from devel-oped nations support such a force.

In 2006, a group of academics, former offi cials and se-curity experts tabled a proposal they hope will change wide-spread human rights abuses by creating an international rapid reaction force that could be deployed within 48 hours of a green light from the United Nations.

Composed of up to 15,000 military, police and civilian staff, including medics and confl ict transformation experts, it would be recruited from professionals hired by the UN from many countries, and based at designated UN sites. Its actions would be authorized by the UN Security Council.

“It’s not a new idea, but it has now come into its own,” says Peter Langille of University of Western Ontario, an ex-pert in confl ict resolution, and one of the major contributors to the book entitled, A United Nations Emergency Peace Ser-vice: To Prevent Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity. Mr. Langille stated that “with countries moving away from UN peacekeeping, and troops overstretched in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, (the rapid reaction force) has new ap-peal.” You can vote on this idea at CommunityAdvisor.NET

“In only a century and a quarter since Confederation, Ca-nadians have shaped out of the North American wilderness one of the most privileged societies on the face of the earth. Rank-ing among the seven most prosperous nations in the world, Canada is rich not only in the abundance of our resources and the magnifi cence of our land, but also in the diversity and the character of our people. We have long been known as one of the most tolerant, progressive, innovative, caring and peaceful societies in existence.” - The Will of a Nation: Awakening the Canaadian Spirit by George Radwanski & Julia Luttrell

GNA - Maria Sharapova, United Nations Development Programme Goodwill Am-bassador, has invited NBA star LeBron James to “Team Up Against Poverty” on a new UNDP advertisement to garner support for achieving the eight Millennium Devel-opment Goals.

Sharapova’s work with UNDP includes promot-ing international efforts to achieve the Millennium De-velopment Goals. Adopted by 189 countries in 2000, the Goals are clear, time-bound targets for achieving measurable improvements in the lives of the world’s poorest people. They aim at eradicating poverty, putting children in schools, promot-ing women’s rights, fi ghting killer diseases, and providing access to safe drinking water. UNDP coordinates global and national efforts to reach these Goals.

This ad campaign re-volves around the concept of “Teaming Up Against Pov-erty” to achieve the MDG’s. Fifty celebrities, including UNDP Goodwill Ambassa-dors and soccer greats Ron-aldo and Zidane, have agreed to participate in the initiative to promote the MDG’s and

are undertaking specifi c anti-poverty activities.

The advertisements have been produced thanks to pho-tographers, celebrities and advertising agencies who are donating their time and talent for the fi ght against poverty. Hundreds of newspapers and

magazines have already pub-lished these advertisements worldwide.

Ed - This is great, but mainstream publications could also mention that poor countries pay more in com-pound interest charges than they get in foreign aid.

good post-election exercise. One method to do this has been termed co-opetition.

In the business world, the concept is much in vogue. Resurgence in theidea was stimulated by a business best seller entitled Co-opetition: A Revolution Mindset That Combines Competition and Cooperation. Authors Adam Brandenburger and Barry Nalebuff explain that: “co-opetition offers a theory of value. It’s a book about cre-ating value and capturing value. There’s a fundamental duality here: whereas creat-ing value is an inherently co-operative process, capturing value is inherently competi-tive. To create value, people can’t act in isolation. They have to recognize their inter-dependence. That’s the way

to develop new markets and expand existing ones. But along with creating a pie, there’s the issue of dividing it up. This is competition.”

E x e c u t i v e

coach Karlin Sloan writes: “If we think of busi-ness as a game, how do we know how best to win? We’re used to competition—from the sports we play as kids to competition in the market-place. At the risk of offending all of you who keep a copy of The Art of War in your back pocket, science now tells us that fi ghting and compet-ing for business don’t al-ways work to our advantage.

When we use only that mode of thinking, we’re cheating ourselves of some excellent opportunities to innovate, collaborate and focus not on who we need to beat, but on

our own unique value to our con-sumers.

The tradi-tional view of business is that our competition is everywhere—we compete for rank inside of our organization, and we compete in the marketplace with other providers

of the same product or ser-vice. We are at war. That idea is changing. We need to start focusing less on fi ghting for the small slice, and more on creating a bigger pie. In this

new era of shared informa-tion, running an organization is about collaboration, coop-eration and co-opetition.

There are some great thinkers out there coming up with new ways to play the game of business, and their ideas are fi rmly linked to a new branch of mathematics: game theory.

Game theory enables us to model complex social in-teractions—like markets and capitalist-based businesses—through computer simula-tion. What game theorists have found about behavior is that cooperation is often the backbone of a well-played game.

Here’s an example. In a tournament, computer pro-

“Th ere’s a fundamental duality here:

whereas creating value

is an inherently cooperative

process, capturing value is inherently

competitive.”

grams were allowed to “in-teract” with each other as a simulated society. Upon each interaction, the programs would “decide” whether to cheat or cooperate. Each pro-gram would then get a score. The winning program was called “Tit for Tat,” and its strategy was very simple. On its fi rst encounter with any program, it would cooperate. On any subsequent encoun-

ters, it would replicate what the other program had done on the previous occasion. Tit for Tat would reward coop-erative behavior with its own cooperation, and would pun-ish cheating with cheating. Finally, after many iterations of the game, Tit for Tat ended up creating the most stable, cooperative relationships in the computer “society.” Re-alistically, the most complex computer game says little

about human interactions, with ego being but one miss-ing part of the mix in the ex-ample given.

However, where the business and social models might align is in the attitudes of the people involved. Peo-ple on one side of the elec-tion divide can very much view those on the other side in much the same way as a business regards a competi-

tor. Whitecourt citizens will continue to compete with different processes and ideas. This is a good thing. ‘Diver-sity is strength’ is a cardinal rule for any complex system. As much as it peeves every one of us to be contradicted, the alternative of everyone thinking alike is unimagin-ably worse.

come easily under such con-ditions, but it is not impos-sible, as competing busi-nesses are showing. Like in the business example, all citizens or consumers will naturally capture the value of a better daycare or healthcare system.

One danger may be that the competition in the socio-sphere over the larger pie will boil down to who gets the most credit for the improve-ments; rather than market-share as in the business case. This could forestall further co-operation. There was a bit of a hangover in the current election from the Multi-Use

(Continued from page 20) debate, but to move things forward, some previous op-ponents on this matter have been co-operating in other areas for com-munity im-provement, not the least being the exciting new plans for Rotary Park.

If one were to follow game theory, the most successful of those both unelected and elected, could be those who follow game theory, and reward co-opera-tive behaviour, regardless of where it comes from.

It would not be a bad goal for those elected in the municipal election to explore structures and processes that

will enable rel-evant, continued participation from both factions of the recent elec-tion. There is a wealth of knowl-edge and, despite the differences, a sincere desire to contribute to the community on the part of all candi-

dates for offi ce.

Post Election - After the swearing in ceremony for the new town council, Mayor

“Co-operation doesn’t come

easily under such conditions, but it is not impossible,

as competing businesses are showing.”

Thain stated that all candi-dates for election had a lot of objectives in common and that the projects are such that workers on the issues can use all the help they can get.

Despite some negativity, overall the last election was a positive experience, offering voters a real choice of candi-dates for their municipal gov-ernment. This was a primary factor in driving voter partic-ipation to an all time high for Whitecourt. Albeit, there is still a ways to go, with a par-ticipation rate of only 32.5%, but the municipal democratic process is headed in the right direction in the opinion of this writer.

Métis Employment ServicesSpecial to the Advisor - Many people have yet to discover

the opportunities Métis Employment Services has to offer. Since 2003, the local offi ce in Whitecourt has provided status blind service to people with job search, career decision mak-ing, resume/cover letter assistance, and access to computers, fax machine, and photocopy use.

For Métis people, there are funding programs to assist with safety tickets and post secondary education, among oth-er training opportunities. Providing clients meet the criteria, there is a possibility of funding for 2 year programs or fund-ing for the last year of a university program, which would include tuition and weekly income support. In addition, there are projects offered throughout the province which are geared to help individuals achieve their career goals and obtain long term employment.

The offi ce in Whitecourt is currently recruiting Metis cli-ents for an upcoming project to start in the fall. The Dream-catchers Program, which prepares individuals to work in oil-fi eld related occupations, will consist of seven oilfi eld safety tickets plus a two weeks life skills component.

Some of the programs the Métis Nation of Alberta has provided funding for Métis people in our area are: nursing di-ploma; mechanical engineering; offi ce career training; EMR; truck driver training; veterinary receptionist; deaf/blind sup-port services, as well as several Dreamcatcher Projects.

For employers who want to hire and train Métis Youth between the ages of 15 to 30 for six-16 consecutive weeks during the summer, there is a Summer Student Placement subsidy available to help with cost of wages. Other programs include Métis Youth Internship and Métis Wage Subsidy. For Métis Youth between the ages of 15 to 30 who want to attend a summer career camp, there are various camps throughout the province. Youth must have a social insurance number and need to meet with an employment counselor at Métis Em-ployment Services.

For individuals wanting to get involved in any of these programs, please call Métis Employment Services at 706-2339 or drop in to check out the resources at Room 205, Midtown Mall.

Hewgley Drilling drilled the discovery well. Some of the other drilling rig com-panies which have worked in the Kaybob fi eld are Brinkerhoff, Can-Tex, Com-monwealth, Duke Drilling, Garnett, General Petroleum, Guthrie McLaren, Lohman and Johnson, Peter Bawden Drilling Ltd., Reading and Bates, Regent and Trident. Service rig companies such as Baldwin & Knoll, Wid-ney-Oil and Pinewell Ser-vices have had a long history of working in the Fox Creek area.

Due to the expense and remote chance of discovering a producing well, oil compa-nies formed partnerships in these exploration ventures. When reserves were discov-

ered, the company with the largest holdings was usually responsible for operating the production facility.

“Set deep in the heart of Central Alberta in the remote and heavily forested foothills region of the province, Fox Creek was virtually unknown to the majority of people in Canada, and even in Alberta until 1961, when the Kay-bob South Beaverhill Lake A Gas Field was discovered 30 miles to the south of the town by a group of oil companies. This discovery brought much interest and later, much de-velopment to the area. Natu-rally, people followed . . . and Fox Creek began to throb with activity.

In 1966 this small com-

munity situated 80 miles north of Edson, and boasting a population of 250 people, was typical of many similar villages to be found through-out the province. Rich in natural beauty, rugged of cli-mate, lacking in many of the luxuries of the 1960’s, it was thrust into the limelight when the long narrow gas fi eld was discovered and plans were made for the production and processing of the enormous amount of gas which it was capable of supplying.

The Kaybob South fi eld contains over 100 wells, drilled to an av-erage depth of 11,000 feet. As a result of com-plicated land ownership and pool confi gura-tion, three sepa-rate units, each served by their own gas plant, were formed.” (Reprinted with the permission of Chevron Canada Resources)

In 1961, Pacifi c Petro-leum Ltd. built a plant in the North Kaybob fi eld. In 1967, Amoco Canada Petro-leum Co. Ltd. built the Big-stone Plant in the D-3 fi eld, located in 7-10-61-22 W5M. In 1968, Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas Co. Ltd. began con-struction of a gas processing facility, the Kaybob #1 Plant in the South Kaybob fi eld. The following year they built Kaybob #2 plant. In 1972, the $100 million Kaybob South #3 Gas Plant was completed by Chevron Standard Ltd. This facility was Canada’s

(Continued from page 28) largest gas processing plant and the world’s largest sul-phur recovery facility.

The plants produce gas, oil and by-products such as propane, butane, pentanes and sulphur, which are trans-ported by tank truck, railway or pipeline. The oil and gas is transported from the produc-ing fi elds to market sources via pipelines. Peace Pipe Line Ltd. is responsible for transporting the liquids from northern Alberta to southern markets and Nova Corpora-tion of Alberta, formerly Al-berta Gas Trunk Line, trans-ports the natural gas that is

produced in the Kaybob fi eld.

The devel-opment of the oil and gas in-dustry in un-settled areas of Alberta resulted in the creation of new towns. Fox Creek, one such town, sprang up

in the wilderness and had to prepare quickly for a rapid population growth. Other boom towns were Devon, Drayton Valley, High Level, Rainbow Lake, Redwater and Swan Hills. The majority of Fox Creek’s population is employed in the Oil and Gas Industry. The Kaybob Field has and will continue to play an important role in the his-tory of Fox Creek.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Whitecourt,

My gratitude to everyone for coming out to vote in yes-terday’s election. My most heartfelt thanks to the eight hun-dred and seventeen people who entrusted one vote to me. I hope you don’t feel as though I’ve let you down.

I am still committed to the social change I ran for and know that Council is not the only medium for change. I know that people in this community hope for a rehabilitation cen-tre, affordable housing, a shelter, daycare for their children, a voice for youth, and a community that cares for all who live here. We can still have the things we need in Whitecourt. It might just take a little more work and a little more time but we can accomplish anything when we really care for one an-other.

Thank you again for the trust you placed with me. I sin-cerely hope you we can continue towards these goals togeth-er.

Yours with gratitude,

Shannon Kyle

Going GreenBy Shannon Kusch, the Tipping

Point Project

How can we ordinary citizens make a signifi cant difference in the ongoing battle to help make our planet Earth cleaner and healthier when we are bombarded on a daily basis with advertisements which entice us to buy more, bigger, better, faster? We live in a thriving economy which affords many of us the ability to purchase practically anything which we desire. We are told we ‘de-serve it’, and we believe it. Sadly, we live in a disposable society where products are not made to last like they used to. Manufactures have essentially assured future sales by creat-ing products which only last consumers just long enough to develop dependence on them and then those products falls apart. Pretty darn business smart you say, but there is a dras-tic downside to this way of thinking.

It costs time, money, raw natural resources, and energy to produce anything. More and more industry creates substan-dard products for consumer use which quickly break down and get tossed straight into the garbage dump, bypassing the recycling programs. Several important things start to happen at this point. Once an object is thrown into a landfi ll it con-sumes valuable land space which could have contributed to either a viable food source or to forested growth which helps reduce greenhouse gas (GHS) emissions. Secondly, all of the energy and resources involved in making these products be-comes a complete waste, buried underneath mounds of dirty diapers, broken toys, and kitchen table scraps. Adding to the mix is contamination of our soil and water from toxic waste. Finally, we as the consumer become obsessed with replac-ing our expired objects. Thus the waste cycle of energy and resources continues.

Our greed as consumers comes with a huge price tag. We rape and pillage our resources, because we feel it is ‘our right’, then we have the audacity to whine when we are told that we are harming our environment and that it will cost us money to help clean it up. We complain over the cost of gas at the pumps yet we allow our vehicles to idle unnecessar-ily and we demand more and more products which are made from petroleum. We must expect that in the end, we will have to pay dearly for our gross excesses in life. How many of us have more than one television, computer, refrigerator, or car? How many of us have several techno gadgets that we ‘just cannot live without’. Many of us live in a perpetual state of debt because we feel the need to ‘keep up to the Jones’. We have become dissatisfi ed with living comfortably within our means and have bought into the propaganda that our success in life is measured by the size of our homes, the model of our vehicles or the outrageously priced designer clothes we wear

on our backs. Our values have become sadly distorted and who gets to pay the price; our planet Earth.

We are seeing a movement, a paradigm shift like no other. Our planet cries out to us to slow down, to stop the abuse, because she knows that she cannot sustain our greed forever. Citizens around the world have heard these cries and are scrambling, indeed pleading with us to see the need for conservation, the need for cleaner, greener, safer sustainable energies which do not leave behind toxic legacies for hun-dreds of generations to come. This planet earth that we live on is growing smaller and unhealthier every day. We all need to stand up and take note that there is so much that we can all do to help this urgent matter, starting right now. We do not have the luxury of waiting for someone else to take the reins; we must mobilize en mass to effect an immediate change. It is safe to say that none of the so-called experts have the exact answer as to when we will tip the scales so far as to do irrepa-rable damage to this planet. Therefore, let us err on the side of caution and do our fair share to help the cause today.

Watch for future articles where I will share with you some of the many creative and inexpensive ideas that people from around the world are implementing to make a positive differ-ence in cleaning up their environment and reducing energy consumption. Until then remember, there is enormous valid-ity in the Three-R concept of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Ed - No advertisers, no communicating environmental problems in this case. The irony here should point out that there are deep systemic economic problems at play.The Advi-sor has carried many articles on how compound interest in our money system, and make-work activities, cause great en-vironmental damage, while creating no wealth. Until more en-vironmentalists become concerned with this dynamic, there is a very real danger that repression, rather than enlightenment, will be a signifi cant outcome of the environmental movement.

Once again it should be pointed out that reform of our mon-ey system is a necessary, but not suffi cient condition, for envi-ronmental sustainability. It won’t fi x the problem by itself, but it is impossible to proceed in a rational way with the current debt money/compound interest system.
