Thanks darren for that last post its a real rude awakening. I have this quote on our whiteboard at work that says

"We have a real food problem, a famine approaching. Its a crime against humanity to take something you can eat and make a chair-or use it as gas in your SUV."- Designer Philippe Starck.

It is such a simple black and white statement. Of course- food is a number one priority. But is it? Is it really?

ALSO id like to blatently Advertise the fact that im doing the Oxfam Trailwalker in 2009- this is a 100km Walk, you complete in a team of 4 - all in one go. We will have a website soon.. so ill post that in no time. BUT if you'd be keen to sponsor us (and this great cause) please leave a comment or get in contact with me!
heaps more info here: www.oxfam.org.nz

perhaps the real problem isnt the actions but the attitude behind the actions. If we could change the attitude to think about how our actions effect others it would mean that we would be more careful about our gas use, so we dont have to take land that up till now has been used for crops to feed people to make bio fuels

Way to go with the 100km walk, i looked at it, but timing doesnt work for me, but will be happy to sponsor your team.
