‬‏ The WWF has been founded by hunters and still is the biggest hunting club in the world! Many of the Big Friends and important members are hunting endangered species and i don't mean with the CAMERA! Watch this documentary and spread this news! The WWF makes me sick! Their TIGER SPOT on television is disgusting if you look at what they practice...how many tigers have WWF members killed ? The WWF is the largest environmental protection organisation in the world. Trust in its green projects is almost limitless. With rousing campaigns, the WWF directly targets the conscience of its donors – everyone should do their part to save endangered species, the climate and/or the rainforest. The WWF was founded 50 years ago, on September 11, 1961. Today it is the most influential lobby group for the environment in the world, thanks largely to its excellent contacts in both the political and industrial spheres and to its ability to walk a constant tightrope between commitment and venal

Appetite for Change – Blog | SustainAbility Appetite for Change 23 Jun 2011 – Jennifer Biringer In just the last few weeks, one of the worst E. coli outbreaks in history has killed 37 people and made more than 2,600 ill, academics concluded that climate change will have more negative consequences for agriculture than expected, and the UN’s Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization released a guide warning “world farming needs a ‘major shift’ to more sustainable practices as intensive crop production since the 1960s has degraded soils, depleted ground water and caused pest outbreaks.” Industry and food system experts interviewed for SustainAbility’s latest report, Appetite for Change , read trends such as these and conclude that the food industry is failing. Our experts sounded loud and clear that there is widespread awareness of the key challenges faced by the food system, but that there

Meatless Meat

Meatless I love the way the world is CHANGING! Soon expected; Meatless texture in frozen plates to punch schnitzels, nuggets or burgers. Spectacular texture, clean label, allergenfree, lowfat, production expected July 2011 We can replace large parts of the Meat we are producing right now with Meatless Meat! And save the planet save the animals and save the lives of millions of people who are now starving to Death! Meatless meat is not yet as Cheap as real meat because the price of meat does not come with a price tag on the Water and CO2 emissions...if we would calculate the real price of meat Meatless Meat would be cheaper...that its more healthy and can be just as tasty is GREAT! A big thank you to all the Scientists and managers all around the world who are working on making the Meat and Food industry much more sustainable! Lets connect on LinkedIn Sustainability Issues such as sustainability, health and environment are becoming increasingly important in food.

Build a Strategy for Sustainability

Sustainability? What does it realy mean? Do you think that we still have the time to build a sustainable future? 9 Billion People on this planet in 2040 will we be able to feed them? Yes WE WILL! If we use our Brains and RETHINK the FUTURE! Business as usual? Forget it! We need a new GREEN Economy or a Blue Economy? A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY! When will retailers and manufacturers start improving consumer awareness of environmentally friendly products and communicate the environmental messages to consumers clearly and succinctly?

Sustainable Growth is it possible?

What do you think is Sustainable Growth Possible? How can we build a sustainable future? How can we Change tho Global Focus? A representation of sustainability showing how both economic and societal values are constrained by environmental limits (2003) [5] [ not in citation given ] This is from the recycled reusable shopping bag from the most sustainable Retailer in the world COOP in Switzerland. Sustainable development does not focus solely on environmental issues. Can we shift the GLOBAL FOCUS? In 1987, the United Nations released the Brundtland Report, which included what is now one of the most widely recognised definitions: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: the concept of 'needs', in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; a

CONGRATULATIONS TO COOP IN SWITZERLAND

COOP is the most sustainable retailer in the world! We knew that and we have written about that since we first met the COOP Sustainability Management! You can find it in One Earth One Mission and One Person Can Make A Difference many times! The OEKOM Research Team has compared many of the leading retailers in the world in a big global study and COOP is their World Leader when it comes to sustainability! I have been at the HQ of this World Leader last week and made a few suggestions on how they can improve their sustainability with a more holistic approach! In Retail the stores don't count the biggest Foot Print comes from the products the retailer is selling. Since food retail itself forms only a small part of the contribution that the food and agriculture industry makes to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other environmental issues, COOP should also encourage their suppliers and customers to reduce their environmental impact. As a retailer, we rely on

Adopteer een Hoogleraar voor vleesvervanging! Adopteer een Hoogleraar voor vleesvervanging! The Peas Foundation heeft als doel de kennis, ontwikkeling en het gebruik van plantaardige eiwitten te vergroten. Als mensen meer plantaardig eiwit eten in plaats van vlees en zuivel is er meer eten voor iedereen beschikbaar, is dat beter voor het klimaat, voor de biodiversiteit, voor de waterverdeling en meer dieren kunnen leven naar hun eigen aard. De wereld wordt er een stuk leuker van en kan langer mee. Op dit moment wordt 80% van het landbouwareaal in de wereld gebruikt ten behoeve van de veehouderij, die verantwoordelijk is voor 30% van het verlies aan biodiversiteit . De Nederlandse regering heeft de transitie naar een meer duurzame eiwitconsumptie tot één van haar prioriteiten benoemd. Prof Louise Fresco pleit voor ‘ kerstkalkoen uit algen of lupines ’ Prof Marc Chavannes spreekt over de link tussen ‘ het vleesbeleid en de grote crisis ’ en prof R

Raising animals for food produces more greenhouse-gas emissions (such as methane and CO2) than all the world’s vehicles combined and is therefore the primary contributor to climate change and the climate crisis . Rain forests, which are fundamental to stabilizing the Earth’s climate, are cut down in order to create grazing land for farmed animals or fields that are used to grow crops for animals. Mother Earth’s “green lung” is being destroyed at an unprecedented rate. Even the German Federal Environmental Agency called on consumers to adopt a climate-conscious lifestyle and eat less meat. The agency’s executive, Dr Andreas Troge , told the Berliner Zeitung , “We should re-consider our high meat consumption”. This would not only benefit our health but also the climate. “And it would hardly cause a loss of life quality” , added Troge. Rajendra Pachauri , the chair of UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize , called on consumers
