Our BEAUTIFUL BIKE LANES

Excellent! So beautiful! Living through all the noise and construction was really tough but it's paid off. And where they cut down one big tree they replaced it with about 25 little ones so I guess that's okay.

Can't wait to get out there more!! We've only gone to Jericho 2x...but hope to start riding down there daily!!

"400,000 people walked through the streets of NYC to make a statement to world leaders:
Act on climate change now! 

While many world leaders met in New York this week (Sept 23-26) to discuss how to act on Climate change Canada's PM Stephen Harper chose not to attend. Due to the aggressive expansion of the Alberta oil sands, Canada is set to become one of the world's worst climate criminals, while being left behind by the emerging renewable economy.

Meet the largest social movement of this decade and the greatest challenge yet faced by humanity.

People's Climate March!! Get it Done!!



http://peoplesclimate.org/

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC52nOmdkl7GgjUmpm-9mbgg




For Immediate Release
September 17, 2014
March Organizers See Surge of Momentum for People’s Climate March; Over 100,000 expected for September 21
New York City — Over 1,000,000 flyers have been handed out across New York City in the last five days. Hundreds of volunteers are canvassing subway stations across the city. 496 buses are coming in from nearly all 50 states. More than 32 marching bands are ready to play. It’s official: the People’s Climate March is going to be big. 

If the weather holds, over 100,000 people are expected to attend demonstration on Sunday to demand bold action on climate change. Police have blocked off traffic on Central Park West from 59th St. to 86th street to accommodate the tens of thousands of students, workers, parents, scientists, beekeepers, and more who are joining the march.

A People’s Climate March will host a general press availability and press conference will take place on Central Park West between 59th st. and 61st st. from 9:30am-11:00am on Sunday morning. The press conference, from 10:00-10:30am, will feature a diverse group of seven people telling their personal stories of why they are joining the march. Due to limited space, press must RSVP to media@peoplesclimate.org to attend (a RSVP does not guarantee admission).

Beginning at 10:30am, different groups taking part in the march will host small rallies up and down the march route to fire up their contingents or deliver public statements. At 11:00am labor unions will host a rally with thousands of members just south of Columbus Circle on Broadway.

The march will begin at 11:30 a.m. at Columbus Circle, head east on 59th Street, then south on 6th Ave, west on 42nd Street, and finish at 11th Avenue and West 34th Street. The front of the march is expected to reach the end of the route at about 2:00pm.

At 1:00pm, after a moment of silence to honor those impacted by climate change and the fossil fuel industry, the march will “Sound the Climate Alarm” with drums, trumpets, vuvuzelas, and over 20 marching bands. Churches across the city will ring their bells, as Jewish temples blow their shofars, as part of this global climate chorus calling for action.

The march is the product of months of frenetic organizing. At a pop-office on 42nd St and Madison Avenue, dozens of volunteers are working the phones and laptops late into the night to help with the Get Out The March (GOTM) effort. Student activists report that there are now young people coming in from 320 campuses across the country. In the “Faith Hub,” hundreds of local and national religious institutions, from all backgrounds, are turning out their members for the march.

Across the East River at a three story warehouse in Bushwick, artists, cultural workers, and hundreds of volunteers are churning out banners, placards, puppets, inflatable art pieces, and giant floats that will be pulled by biodiesel vehicles (or by hand) during the march.

“This is the final crunch, the product of six months of work to make the People’s March a big, beautiful expression of the climate movement,” Rachel Schragis, who is helping coordinate the arts hub told the New York Times on Wednesday.

Share a Spliff Christie, The Kids Want to Go Back!!

Well now, if I had my way I would take this opportunity and re-vamp the whole public school  system to be about gardening, harvesting, cooking, building cob houses and doing lots of eco things.
 http://zipolitemexico.blogspot.ca/2014/06/lets-build-eco-school-in-zipolite.html
But I am not. So all I can do is dream and hope that everything works out soon.

Many people are suffering. It's the poor of course. Because some people ...mainly single parents that were using school to help them so they could work and support there kids. And some of those were teachers.

The whole thing is so messed up...because of course those with money just put their kids in private school or went off on vacation.

Now we are neither rich but at the moment I don't consider myself poor. I am working and lucky for me my kid is 12 and so she can fend for herself pretty well while I do work. And lucky for me, I have learned never rely on the system because as soon as you do, it will pull the rug out from under you and you'll be sitting on your ass wonder how that truck hit you!! Do you hear what I am saying.

Angel hasn't been super bored or lonely because she can cope with change. I haven't put her in this routine of mundane repetition for last six years...nope just part of that. Kindergarten, half of grade 4 and then all of grade 6 and what happens, a strike and she doesn't even get a report card.

That said she loves her teacher and wants to go back and see her friends.

Will it happen.. maybe...maybe this is the weekend.

In the meantime I find it hilarious that some guy sent Christie Clark some weed and told her to smoke it with Fassbender and Ready - so they will all chill out and get down to business.
http://www.straight.com/blogra/728141/dont-worry-striking-teachers-christy-clarks-pot-actually-mail
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2014/09/pot-activist-mails-christy-clark-marijuana-end-teachers-strike/

"While the marijuana is an acknowledged stunt, Larsen hopes to get the message to Clark that legalizing and taxing marijuana could boost revenue in the province–enough to further fund education. (And, hey–Vancouver could totally grow some of the cash crop on a downtown rooftop. Just sayin’.) Of course, there is a little laid-back humour in the gift. “I thought if [Clark] could get together with Peter Fassbender, Jim Iker and their negotiating teams to share a joint, it would help break down some barriers and give the BCTF negotiations a fresh start,” he said in a release. The package was delivered Friday morning "

In the states Colorado and Washington are reaping huge benefits from the legalization of pot. When is it going to happen here.

It makes a lot of sense. Anyways get with the program you guys.

I heard from someone that Christie Clark she was going to make a voucher system...where everyone gets a certain amount of cash to raise their kid in private, public or homeschool.

Now I despise Christie Clark and her anti-environment and anti-family ways but I do like the idea of this. Truthfully I would rather just see our school and yard turned into a big garden and kitchen and we feed all the kids and teach them how to grow food and build shelter for themselves.

Anyways these songs are for you Christie, have a happy day. Enjoy your spliff!!
http://globalnews.ca/news/1560173/bctf-government-back-at-the-bargaining-table-with-vince-ready-friday/




Oh just a little more fun. See how I spelled C.Clark's name... it's like this video and what it says in the beginning. Just felt I need to give a little back of what she had given us. Ha! Ha!!

Don't for to get ready for PEOPLE'S CLIMATE MARCH




http://peoplesclimate.org/march/

This is an invitation to change everything.

In September, world leaders are coming to New York City for a UN summit on the climate crisis. UN Secretary­ General Ban Ki-­moon is urging governments to support an ambitious global agreement to dramatically reduce global warming pollution.

With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history. We’ll take to the streets to demand the world we know is within our reach: a world with an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities.

To change everything, we need everyone on board.

Sunday, September 21 in New York City. Join us. http://peoplesclimate.org/march/#top

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_Rights_of_Mother_Earth
Law of the Rights of Mother Earth 

(Spanish: Ley de Derechos de la Madre Tierra) is a Bolivian law (Law 071 of the Plurinational State), that was passed by Bolivia's Plurinational Legislative Assembly in December 2010.[1][2] This 10 article law is derived from the first part of a longer draft bill, drafted and released by the Pact of Unity by November 2010.[3] The full bill remains on the country's legislative agenda. The law defines Mother Earth as "a collective subject of public interest," and declares both Mother Earth and life-systems (which combine human communities and ecosytems) as titleholders of inherent rights specified in the law.[4] The short law proclaims the creation of the Defensoría de la Madre Tierra a counterpart to the human rights ombudsman office known as the Defensoría del Pueblo, but leaves its structuring and creation to future legislation

The law defines Mother Earth as "...the dynamic living system formed by the indivisible community of all life systems and living beings whom are interrelated, interdependent, and complementary, which share a common destiny; adding that "Mother Earth is considered sacred in the worldview of Indigenous peoples and nations.[6]

In this approach human beings and their communities are considered a part of mother earth, by being integrated in "Life systems" defined as "...complex and dynamic communities of plants, animals, micro-organisms and other beings in their environment, in which human communities and the rest of nature interact as a functional unit, under the influence of climatic, physiographic and geologic factors, as well as the productive practices and cultural diversity of Bolivians of both genders, and the world views of Indigenous nations and peoples, intercultural communities and the Afro-Bolivians.[7] This definition can be seen as a more inclusive definition of ecosystems because it explicitly includes the social, cultural and economic dimensions of human communities.

The law also establishes the juridical character of Mother Earth as "collective subject of public interest", to ensure the exercise and protection of her rights. By giving Mother Earth a legal personality, it can, through its representatives (humans), bring an action to defend its rights. Additionally, to say that Mother Earth is of public interest represents a major shift from an anthropocentric perspective to a more Earth community based perspective.[8]

Sadly CP destroyed many gardens. :(
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/community-gardens-ripped-up-along-arbutus-corridor-1.2737029

------------------------------------------------------------
I will cry too if they destroy the gardens. I saw a man in a yellow vest there today, I was passing...I can not bare to think what will happen to all those gorgeous gardens. WHY???

Here is the province report, I was annoyed with the video from Global, it only showed bricks and grass and really made the tracks look awful instead of focusing on the gorgeous gardens like my video.

 Seriously gardens like this are the doctors of the community, they keep things calm and beautiful. They make people happy. We need these especially here in the big city with so much poverty and stress. http://www.theprovince.com/life/Deadline+Rail+ready+raze+community+gardens+Arbutus+corridor/10080407/story.html

I made this video today July 30 2014, one day before the CPR threaten to take action. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN! Look at these beautiful gardens, they provide such peace and tranquility to the neighbourhood. We DO NOT WANT TRAINS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! This is issue is more than the gardens. Stand up and say "No!" Save the Gardens!! Sign the Petition and start a conversation, we need swift action!!  Share this video widely!


NEW VIDEO!!  PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE!!


So very very sad...I feel like crying. I am so sad but so scared and upset, I don't want trains running on those tracks, it's a terrible criminal idea. Please someone needs to buy that land.

With people paying $1million for a house...there must be a way to get that land...it is a real opportunity here...What can be done??

https://twitter.com/zipolita
I have been tweeting and trying to find help as best I can. I was away last week celebrating my daughters birthday. We will be devastated it they destroy the gardens.

I guess all we can do is pray for miracles and meditate that a positive solution is found quickly.
SPREAD THE WORD!! Just try...it's all I ask...all I can do about it is blog and share...what can you do?

We have to make a GREAT BIG FUSS RIGHT NOW!! There is hardly any time left!! PLEASE! Share and Take Action!! 





 





I don't understand, instead of embracing the gardens and seeing the value they are going to destroy it all. But I guess that's all part of the big plan, to disable people at the lowest level...their food. Because if you take away there food then they have to buy it somewhere and that's where we are a food dependent nation.

Instead of having gardens in every yard and park and field and school, we had to resort to along the tracks and now the CPR is going to come in and destroy it all.

First thing we must consider is the trains will be bringing all sorts of horrible toxic dangerous items through the communities, right now we are blinded by the gardens but this is the bigger issue.

We really need to unite on this and time is running out.

This is a lovely garden my daughter and I worked on when we went Woofing.

Numb. It is with great sadness and despair that I post the following:

Douglas Garland charged with three counts of murder in deaths of Nathan O'Brien, grandparents-http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Murder+charges+pending+case+missing+Nathan+Brien+Alvin/10030409/story.html

I am so distraught, I have no words. I am praying deeply for Nathan's parents and all of the family, I have no words other than RIP little cherub. At least you are safe in heaven with your grandparents. This is little comfort I am sure to a family devastated and wracked with grief. 

May the world reach out and wrap their arms around them and send them virtural hugs, love and compassion to help them to survive this tragedy. 

this blog post says it well.

No Oil, No Tankers, Defend Our Coast RALLY- June 17 2014

I was devastated today! When I heard that the Enbridge Pipeline was approved, I wanted to throw up.

 I was so sad, I was in disbelief. How? After all the petitions, rallies, blogposts, ....Harper still pushed it threw. How EVIL!!

I took a nap...I just wanted to forget...I knew the rally was on at 5:30 but I felt so low I almost didn't go. But I did, Angel and I both went and I am so glad. I feel better now. I feel united. We are in for the fight of our lives I fear.

 Here is the video I did manage to get. So sad because my battery ran out and then my camera space was full so I missed some of the best parts, especially Ta'Kaiya's songs and but here is what I did get.


Listen to what these people have to say, especially these brave women. Come on  ladies of BC, Canada, US, Mexico, The World,  we have the power, we have a voice and it's time it was heard. Let's protect OUR CHILDREN and MOTHER EARTH and get behind them and support them in anyway we can.

This is going to take effort from the entire INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!! We need to shut down the real TERRORIST and we all know who it is...it's HARPER!! He needs to go to jail for crimes against nature and humanity.  Correction : July 2nd is the next rally- GET OUT THERE!!

IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK!

It's not worth the risk! This video explains it all so clearly. 


Risking it All - Oil on our Coast from Twyla Roscovich on Vimeo.

"The north and central coast of British Columbia is one of last great wilderness areas that still supports a vibrant & productive ecosystem.  

 Home to thousands of runs of salmon, steelhead, grizzlies, wolves, orca, rare white bears, dolphins, porpoises and hundreds of other species, the coast is a natural spring of wealth & wonder.  

 The plan to build the Enbridge pipeline, with ensuing tanker traffic, threatens all of this- the coastal ecosystem, the coastal economies and local food security."

Watching the news last night I was in shock...they were saying like it was a done deal and that Enbridge was approved. WTF!!

Today there is announcement at 1pm. and later a rally downtown at 5pm.

We need to HOLD THE WALL!!

We have to be united and show the east that this is UNACCEPTABLE!!  They are going to tear this country apart if they approve this. Sheesh...MAYBE WE SHOULD SEPARATE!!

IT'S INSANITY!!

EVERYONE MAKE SURE YOU MAKE SOME NOISE TONIGHT!!

How it ever got to this amazes me. What are Harper and Christy Clark thinking? GREED!! When are people going start really looking for alternatives to oil. Don't they see what's happened in the Amazon.

Dennis McClung coaxes organic tomatoes, fresh eggs, bananas, fish, and zucchini out of the desert—an even more righteous repurposing of an old pool than a skate park. Sustainable ingenuity at its best.

This is such a brilliant idea and it matches nicely with the other idea I had this morning and that is building an Eco School in Zipolite.

http://zipolitemexico.blogspot.ca/2014/06/lets-build-eco-school-in-zipolite.html 

So I have this idea to build an Eco School in Zipolite. For long time I have had a dream of putting an Edible Schoolyard in Zipolite. Have you heard of the Eco School in Sayulita and there's a Green School in Bali and they actually have an Eco School in Sayulita so there is no reason we shouldn't have on it Zipolite





 
For a little bit, Angel went to Arroyo Tres. This location would be perfect I think.  It has a lovely little piece of land behind it that would make a wonderful garden.  By the time we return Angel will be to old to attend...if say it's just for elementary but if it's for high school that would be wonderful.
Even if she could help with the elementary children that would be a wonderful experience. She spent the last year helping peer mentor the kindergartens so I know she would be a great asset.


I know the school she attends now...they got a grant from LULULEMON for $9000 to build an Edible Schoolyard... 

For that kind of money...we could build a whole school for $9000 ...possibly...depending on the materials but I believe we could go to Indiegogo and start something. https://www.indiegogo.com/campaigns/new
What do you think? I can't do this by myself...and I am not even there right now....
