Alternatives To The Destruction Of The Environment
As person who has sought to be a blip on the environmental harm radar – I recycle as much as it is possible in my area, I refuse to drive a car and buy next to no consumables – I find this new vogue of environmentalism shallow and narrow. It is apparent that a number of people can only modify their environmental footprint at the order of the federal government and corporate propaganda. Over the past few years there has been an expansion in so-called environmental consumer products and ideology. I am whitnessing increasingly more and more persons who are ‘going green’, which seems to be exclusivly inspired by the media. When one looks into environmentalism, it becomes evident that this new environmental way of thikning is very narrow and is in part only a marketing ploy of corporations who seek to crush observably benevolent companies such as Fair Trade and the many small environmental start-ups.
It is not only our energy demands that can be succseeded by truly green alternatives, but our construction resources and product wrapping can become environmentally friendly today.
To scholars who are inclined to investigate such technologies, it will become obvious that true alternatives to energy needs have been to hand for decades. It is these same multi-national corporations that have suppressed the rise of real alternative energy right now, not in 2100. One of the racketeers of this new idealogy are the energy and natural resource multi-nationals who are attempting to promote a new green depiction of themselves by their research into secondary energy, which they will sell us once natural resources are no longer existent. It is possible to power your automobile with water right now or you can take a trip to Brazil where a lot of cars run on ethanol.
In my environmental research I bumped into this green home weblog, which can give you an idea of some of the alternatives on the market. The site is intermittently refreshed with new products and news from the environmental arena. The posts probe a great numer of subjects, such as green home buildings and green home designs.
10 Ways to Change The World by Gandhi
From the positivityblog:
1. Change yourself.
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.”
If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. And so the world around you will change. Not only because you are now viewing your environment through new lenses of thoughts and emotions but also because the change within can allow you to take action in ways you wouldn’t have - or maybe even have thought about - while stuck in your old thought patterns.
And the problem with changing your outer world without changing yourself is that you will still be you when you reach that change you have strived for. You will still have your flaws, anger, negativity, self-sabotaging tendencies etc. intact.
And so in this new situation you will still not find what you hoped for since your mind is still seeping with that negative stuff. And if you get more without having some insight into and distance from your ego it may grow more powerful. Since your ego loves to divide things, to find enemies and to create separation it may start to try to create even more problems and conflicts in your life and world.
2. You are in control.
“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”
What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. There may be a “normal” or a common way to react to different things. But that’s mostly just all it is.
You can choose your own thoughts, reactions and emotions to pretty much everything. You don’t have to freak out, overreact of even react in a negative way. Perhaps not every time or instantly. Sometimes a knee-jerk reaction just goes off. Or an old thought habit kicks in.
And as you realize that no-one outside of yourself can actually control how you feel you can start to incorporate this thinking into your daily life and develop it as a thought habit. A habit that you can grow stronger and stronger over time. Doing this makes life a whole lot easier and more pleasurable.
3. Forgive and let it go.
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone. And as said in the previous tip, you always choose how to react to something. When you can incorporate such a thought habit more and more into your life then you can react in a way that is more useful to you and others.
You realize that forgiving and letting go of the past will do you and the people in your world a great service. And spending your time in some negative memory won’t help you after you have learned the lessons you can learn from that experience. You’ll probably just cause yourself more suffering and paralyze yourself from taking action in this present moment.
If you don’t forgive then you let the past and another person to control how you feel. By forgiving you release yourself from those bonds. And then you can focus totally on, for instance, the next point.
4. Without action you aren’t going anywhere.
“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
Without taking action very little will be done. However, taking action can be hard and difficult. There can be much inner resistance.
And so you may resort to preaching, as Gandhi says. Or reading and studying endlessly. And feeling like you are moving forward. But getting little or no practical results in real life.
So, to really get where you want to go and to really understand yourself and your world you need to practice. Books can mostly just bring you knowledge. You have to take action and translate that knowledge into results and understanding.
You can check out a few effective tips to overcome this problem in How to Take More Action: 9 Powerful Tips. Or you can move on to the next point for more on the best tip for taking more action that I have found so far.
5. Take care of this moment.
“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”
The best way that I have found to overcome the inner resistance that often stops us from taking action is to stay in the present as much as possible and to be accepting.
Why? Well, when you are in the present moment you don’t worry about the next moment that you can’t control anyway. And the resistance to action that comes from you imagining negative future consequences - or reflecting on past failures - of your actions loses its power. And so it becomes easier to both take action and to keep your focus on this moment and perform better.
Have a look at 8 Ways to Return to the Present Moment for tips on how quickly step into the now. And remember that reconnecting with and staying in the now is a mental habit - a sort of muscle - that you grow. Over time it becomes more powerful and makes it easier to slip into the present moment.

Laxman Provoked
The normally reserved VVS Laxman wasn’t too happy at Afridi calling him unfit to lead the Deccan Chargers. He hit back and asked Pakistani hitter not to make unprovoked statements. Afridi toned down his statement saying Laxman was a great batsman and team player but he was not suited for the role of captaincy as shown by the poor showing in the inagural edition of the IPL.
Wigan v Manchester United Preview
There is no way Manchester United will loose this match. They will cruise to victory and defend their title. Wigan v Manchester United live on our site, go to watch live football or keep up to date with the live football scores.
I know United old boy Steve Bruce will have his team ready to have a real go at Man Utd, but defensively it’s a bit of a mis-match.
United have so many match winners, if they unleash them in a game of such importance at the JJB Stadium, they’ll win easily.
I think Man Utd have become even stronger than last year, the way they play their football is outstanding.
All the neutrals should enjoy this duel, although I doubt Chelsea and Man Utd fans will feel the same.
It’s an incredible situation to see two teams fighting for both domestic and European honours - it may never happen again.

Birmingham v Blackburn Preview
Of all the relegation-threatened teams, Birmingham are the only side playing at home ands that has been underestimated. Birmingham v Blackburn is live on our site, go to watch live football or keep up to date with the live football scores.
I think Birmingham will beat Blackburn in what will be arguably their most important game since they were promoted.
Blackburn are not a team to lie down, they have good players and a good manager.
But Birmingham know they need to win to give themselves a chance of staying up - and the crowd will push them over the line for me.
IPL relaxes media restrictions
The standoff between the Indian Premier League and the media over controversial guidelines to cover the inaugural tournament looks set to ease as the IPL governing body has issued relaxed guidelines for media to cover the Twenty20 extravaganza.
The IPL has toned down some of its earlier restrictions, especially benefiting the print media and their respective websites. However, the websites having no print association would not be able to cover the matches from the ground. The IPL ban on news agencies supplying images to the websites stays. The fresh guidelines have been issued after a meeting with media representatives and IPL governing body members on Tuesday.
The new guidelines, which have been reduced to two pages, allowed website reporters to the venue a day before the match and for post match press conferences only. No online use or publication or syndication of any photograph clicked by accredited photographers is allowed except for the website of the publication.
The media gallery of a website can have up to any six pictures per match beyond whatever else is carried in the newspaper’s various editions.
The rules however warned the photographers for supplying pictures to any third party, including web portals and syndicates.
Earlier, IPL chairman and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Lalit Modi agreed to relax rules to benefit the print media after discussing the matter with the Sports Journalists’ Federation of India (SJFI) and sports editors of mainline dailies on Monday.
Last week, the IPL had announced the media guidelines for accreditation, which a large section of the media houses found unacceptable.
The SJFI, on behalf of sports journalists and photographers, requested the BCCI President Sharad Pawar to resolve the contentious clauses.
The contentious norms arose from IPL’s terms and conditions, in which BCCI attempted to appropriate intellectual property rights on photographs shot by media organizations. IPL had banned websites from the event and demanded that agencies and print media houses upload, at their own cost, the pictures shot by them on IPL’s website for unrestricted use. Media organizations were irked by these guidelines, which amounted to restricting the use of images in any other publication even if it belonged to the same media house.
That BCCI was under some pressure was evident - the link to the media guidelines on the official tournament’s website was deactivated soon after the controversy broke.
Soccer Betting Preview: Manchester United and Chelsea both get 1-0 Wins
The top of the Soccer Betting Premier League is expected to be a battle between Manchester United and Chelsea once again this season. The Blues are doing their part, starting the season with two wins while United has a win and a tie.
Manchester United was able to get a 1-0 win against Portsmouth even without a number of their key players including Cristiano Ronaldo. Also missing were Ryan Giggs, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves.

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp believes it is a two-team race in the Premier League once again. “They are still so strong that I can see them and Chelsea being the two slugging it out again for the title. They will probably meet again in a repeat of the Champions League final too, I shouldn’t wonder. Certainly, I think Arsenal and Liverpool have it all on to finish above them. Chelsea were very strong last week and United will be even stronger than they are now if they sign Dimitar Berbatov (from Tottenham), as I think they will, in the next few days.”
Manchester United was able to secure the 1-0 win over Portsmouth thanks to a 33rd minute goal by Darren Fletcher. His shot was helped into the net by defender Sylvain Distin. Portsmouth has now lost their first two games this season after losing their last four a year ago. “We’ve been a good team over the past two seasons and I’m confident we’ll be a decent team again. I went in at half-time feeling quite pleased with us but we ran out of steam in the second half and people like (Carlos) Tevez and (Wayne) Rooney just popped the ball about when the heat went out of the game.” Redknapp said.
United manager Alex Ferguson was pleased with the result. “It was a bonus win. We only drew here last season and we lost the season before that. It is never an easy place to come but I thought we played good football.”
United is playing the Soccer Betting European Super Cup on Friday against Zenit St. Petersburg and Ferguson has said he does want to win. That doesn’t mean all of his stars will play though. He may give Hargreaves some time in the match though to get him ready for league play. United must play Liverpool and Chelsea back-to-back, following their European Super Cup match on Friday.
Chelsea was able to get a 1-0 win at Wigan thanks to a goal from Deco. It was not an impressive performance by the Blues but it kept them unbeaten to start the season.
