If you are interested in re-afforestation and farming issues in the Amazon, look at this.
Dr Mike Hands and his group have found away of supporting local farmers, recapturing lost forest, feeding the population and stopping slash and burn. Pretty impressive stuff.
I have pledged £500 for them to buy a plot of land to use as a seed farm in memory of an old friend. On this one I have voted with my wallet. I look at it this way, I go to the moot and I see lots of kids having fun, I dont have any kids of my own but the ones I see I would like to have a wonderful life. So having air, water, food and stable environment while erradicating an area of poverty as well for £500 (my choice of donation) is well worth it for the kids future. £500 is probaly what I will spend on kit in the next two years, so its a fair bargin, just do a little make do and mend etc. Also it gives me the ability to ignore the Greenpeace eco warrior pain-in-the-bottom-with-a-clipboard when out shopping on a Sunday!.
