TEPUYS BLOG
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 ......Al respecto de los barcos y los accidentes fatales, les copio una anotación
interesante acerca de la ética de la fe...
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...

He loves the pungent mix of blue chain saw exhaust and spicy fresh wood. He loves the loud snaps that resonate from a Western red cedar as it teeters.

Stealing trees is, after all, breaking the law. The only thing 38-year-old Hughes doesn't like about cutting down old growth is going to jail, which is where he is now.
