re-localization

======
...Countries both import and export products such as chicken - Why not just keep our own chickens and let them keep theirs? It certainly would save transportation costs...We have been so thoroughly advertised into the habit of always feeling we need things that we don't realize the riches we're literally burying ourselves in...

...A report by the World Economic Forum, which runs the annual Davos meetings of the international business and financial elite, says that lack of water, will "soon tear into various parts of the global economic system" and "start to emerge as a headline geopolitical issue".

It adds: "The financial crisis gives us a stark warning of what can happen if known economic risks are left to fester. We are living in a water 'bubble' as unsustainable and fragile as that which precipitated the collapse in world financial markets. We are now on the verge of bankruptcy in many places with no way of paying the debt back."...

...We have entered an era of dangerous climate disruption and it poses a fundamental threat to the vulnerable places, species and people WWF seeks to protect. The world is already facing an accelerated rate of habitat loss and species extinction. Climate change increases the pace of these losses even more.

Rising sea levels, changes in freshwater supply, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather such as drought and floods are already becoming part of our everyday lives. We have before us the opportunity and the challenge of preparing for the impacts while changing the ways we use energy and resources. In rising to the occasion and changing our direction over the next decade, we can avert catastrophic climate change...taking steps to reduce the vulnerabilities...current initiatives include:

* Assessing impacts and building resilience
* Driving policy change to ensure a worldwide commitment
* Reducing carbon emissions from forests
* Transforming markets and business practices...

World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.
