LIST OF OLD BLOGS
If you feel that some recent news need to be published here, just send the link and the next TEPUYS BLOG will publish it, if fits our philosophy... COMMENTARY ...Jokes apart, they have not found any chemical weapon in Bagdad... Now they say that Saddam distroyed all weapons when he heard the marines knocking at his door, maybe he throw it in the toillet, flushing all the anthrax in a hurry... USA is also starting a rumor that President Chavez have chemical weapons here in Venezuela now. And as if the news today were lessons from G.Gurdjieff, now we learn that everything learned is not enough not even to start understanding the smallest thing. Traditions alone are not enough to heal us and the world, ( ask turtles about it ). But modern science alone is not a good choice neither. Where are the modern shamans? Trastor.
VENEZUELAN RAINFOREST FACES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Our philosophy starts understanding the fact that such A VAST TERRAIN COVERED BY RAINFOREST IS OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE IN VENEZUELA, AND NEVER ANY OTHER RESOURCE. Not gold, nor the diamonds, neither the petroleum, much less the super industrial development actually working and planned for next years on the region South of the Orinoco river. KEEPING THIS RAINFOREST ALIVE AND WELL, WE ARE ABLE TO REACH A SPECIAL STATE OF GRACE WITH LIFE AND GOD. THUS BRINGING HAPINESS TO OUR LIVES AND WEALTH TO OUR NATION VENEZUELA.
TEPUYS BLOG POLICY If any accident, field work, holydays, internet connectivity problems or any other inconvennience happens that stop me, each 2-3 days an updated TEPUYS BLOG will be here bringing the link to some of the courrent news happening in Venezuela and the rest of the world. Some of these news are in spanish, others in english, the main idea of TEPUYS BLOG is about to translate the title and short resume of each news correspondingly to show here such translations in both languages. THE TOPICS used here to organize the news are my choice, DARK GREEN means here "Deep Ecology News" that reflects philosophies, propositions or changes towards a new social order of alternative technologies and communities capable of mending the roots of our planetary ecological crisis which everyday is getting worse... And PALE GREEN is for a wide spectrum of news ranging from today's good and necesary "first steps" towards a darker ecology, reviewing all the tones of corporative, guvermental or NGOs green colors, to the lightest and almost bleeched greenwashing. The other topics are used to organize the news for VENEZUELA, TECHNOLOGY, BIODIVERSITY, and FOREST. In future TEPUYS BLOGS, perhaps is needed a change, add or re-arrange of these TOPICS again.
As you can see, here is not used the color RED, because leftist, socialist or communist ideologies, and the like, are just the same superindustrial propositions as the free market CAPITALISM, we need something radically different from both social orders if we want some success as human beings. FOR READERS IN ENGLISH: My native language is spanish, I am very sorry for mistakes in english writings...

ESPAÑOL HOW ANTS SECRETLY DAMAGE RAINFORESTS: SOME "PREDATORY" ANTS ARE VEGETARIAN CONSPIRATORS WITH SAP-SUCKING INSECTS May 13, 2003 - Science Daily - Some tree-dwelling ants that were thought to eat other insects and animals actually look like plant-eaters when biologists analyzed nitrogen in their bodies. The study revealed the ants mostly eat plant nectar and the "honeydew" excreted by parasitic insects that suck sap from trees, suggesting the ants indirectly cause far more damage to tropical rainforests than previously believed...READ GREENHOUSE GAS MIGHT GREEN UP THE DESERT May 8, 2003 - EurakaAlert! Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which leads to the production of sugars. But to obtain it, they must open pores in their leaves and consequently lose large quantities of water to evaporation. The plant must decide which it needs more: water or carbon dioxide. Yakir suggests that the 30 percent increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the start of the industrial revolution eases the plant’s dilemma. Under such conditions, the plant doesn’t have to fully open the pores for carbon dioxide to seep in – a relatively small opening is sufficient. Consequently, less water escapes the plant’s pores. This efficient water preservation technique keeps moisture in the ground, allowing forests to grow in areas that previously were too dry...READ PALE GREEN
