It’s an inclusive space to ignite hearts and inspire more and more connected creativity in the absolute recognition that we are all one.” “information on Uranium Mining around the world! Our mission statement: To inform the world of the hazards of uranium mining. If people know about how this dangerous material is taken from the earth, they will have an enriched point of view on the nuclear power issue in general. Our work is about human rights, geological affairs, and last but not least these questions: Is it still viable to mine uranium? Is this a path governments and big firms should take to make their money? We think you should think about it!” “Uranium Watch works to educate and advocate for protection of public health and the environment from past, current, and future impacts of uranium mining, uranium milling, nuclear waste disposal at uranium mill sites, and other impacts of the nuclear fuel cycle. Uranium Watch is encouraging and facilitating public participation in state and federal regulatory decision-making processes related to the uranium industry. The Uranium Watch Web Site was developed to provide citizens with news, information, and resources about current and historic uranium mining and milling activities and issues.” “Debates rage over whether energy generated by uranium induced nuclear fission is beneficial or harmful. The debate often settles into familiar bipartite arguments of nuclear power plants versus nuclear bombs. However, this article demonstrates that this approach is too narrow; the threats to land and livelihoods generated purely from the extraction process are substantial but unknown or ignored, as the Topnaar Nama people in Namibia are discovering.” Book: “Utilitarianism may well be the most influential secular ethical theory in the world today. It is also one of the most controversial. It clashes, or is widely thought to clash, with many conventional moral views, and with human rights when they are seen as inviolable. Would it, for example, be right to torture a suspected terrorist in order to prevent an attack that could kill and injure a large number of innocent people? In this Very Short Introduction Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek and Peter Singer provide an authoritative account of the nature of utilitarianism, from its nineteenth-century origins, to its justification and its varieties. Considering how utilitarians can respond to objections that are often regarded as devastating, they explore the utilitarian answer to the question of whether torture can ever be justified. They also discuss what it is that utilitarians should seek to maximize, paying special attention to the classical utilitarian view that only pleasure or happiness is of intrinsic value. Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek and Peter Singer conclude by analyzing the continuing importance of utilitarianism in the world, indicating how it is a force for new thinking on contemporary moral challenges like global poverty, the treatment of animals, climate change, reducing the risk of human extinction, end-of-life decisions for terminally-ill patients, and the shift towards assessing the success of government policies in terms of their impact on happiness. “ “Validated Independent News stories (VINs) report information and perspective that the public has a right and need to know, but to which it has limited access. Before being posted as a VIN, each story undergoes evaluation by student researchers and faculty evaluators to determine that it is important, timely, fact-based, well documented, and under-reported in the corporate media. These VINs are candidates for inclusion among the top 25 stories in Project Censored’s annual book.” “We inspire people to be vegan to save the world!…Vegan Action is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (FIN# 94-3224024) works to eliminate animal suffering, reduce environmental impacts, and improve human health through a vegan diet.

Vegan Action works to eliminate animal suffering, reduce environmental impacts, and improve human health through a vegan diet.” “Vegan Australia is an organisation which campaigns nationally for veganism. We believe that by working at a national level we can more effectively support the vegan community, inform the public about the principles of veganism and, importantly, present a strong voice for veganism to governments, institutions, corporations and the media. We are dedicated to making a difference for animals, people and our planet. The name “Vegan Australia” is significant. The organisation is more than just a social group for like-minded people. Rather, the name represents an ethical and political statement about what we want – a vegan Australia (or a vegan world, but let’s take one step at a time!). Vegan Australia works in cooperation with other vegan, animal and other progressive organisations around Australia and provides a strongly vegan perspective. We are aware of the “tyranny of distance” in Australia and so strive to ensure that organisations and individuals from all parts of the country are involved.” A blog on vegan topics “Vegan bodybuilding is about fueling your body with a vast array of natural, healthy foods, combined with resistance weight training and exercise, providing your body with the appropriate tools to build your physique and achieve your fitness goals.” Book: “One of the world’s most recognized vegan body builders presents a comprehensive guide to building a fit body while eating a plant-based diet.
