Into February

2007 Seems So Long Ago

With Christmas feeling like a lightyear away, isn't it nice to see the post-Christmas feelings disappear and hope of the near year on the horizon.


I can’t believe that it’s February already and all those January blues are slowly fading away with Christmas seeming like a lifetime ago. The days are beginning to get lighter but now the weather in the UK is changing again – gales, rain and threats of snow, some of which has already fallen and caused problems in different parts of the country.

I went to one of my climate change group meetings this week and it’s amazing how quickly climate change is becoming such a major international issue. We’re running a series of local talks and I’m doing the first one on Transition Towns which is an idea to make communities more local and sustainable in economic and environmental terms.

Just as it appears as though the climate changing groups are lobbying for nothing, people are now suddenly taking notice. We’ve gone from a persecuted group to one which is still small but is slowly making ground as it looks as though we might be talking some sense after all.

Check out the discussion on the discussion board and add your comments.

Also have a look at this week’s article about religious discrimination in Armenia to see how people are still being persecuted for what they believe in.
