Debates and Actions around Climate Conference in Milan

07-12-2003 03:33 | Ecology | Health | Technology | World

If Russia would join Kyoto, it creates cheap ways for the EU to meet its reduction targets. Those actions taking place outside of the Conference focus instead on the root cause of climate change, the fossil fuel economy. The lack of action by the United Nations, should make people around the world aware not to depend on states and corporations, but instead to create social-ecological alternatives in our daily lives.

Secret RFID testing in the US

12-11-2003 13:05 | Technology | World

As testing of Radio Frequency ID tags continues in the UK, amid protests from privacy advocates, it now emerges that Wal-Mart (who own Asda in the UK) and Procter and Gamble secretly tagged products, meaning that customers were unknowingly carrying live, traceable RFID tags when they left Wal-Mart stores.
