PRESENTING THE CASE TO RESTORE A SAFE CLIMATE
PROMOTING A SHARED TIME FRAME FOR ACTION
DEMONSTRATING THE POWER OF COLLABORATION
OPENING ADDRESS BY THE GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA
PROFESSOR DAVID DE KRETSER, AC.
The launch of the Transition Decade will showcase
leading work by groups that are using this shared
time frame and scale of change, and will set out
the many ways that 1000's of organizations and the
millions of people can join the alliance.
JOIN THE ACTION ALLIANCE TO RESTORE A SAFE CLIMATE
BACKGROUND TO THIS TRANSITIONAL DECADE WE HAVE TO HAVE
At both the state and national levels, local leadership
has failed to deliver even very small cuts in carbon
emissions. Not surprisingly at the international level.
The recent Copenhagen negotiations produced no meaningful
outcomes. We ALL have to face it, conventional political
change are no longer relevant. We have run out of time for
half-measures. It is now imperative that a safe climate is
restored as fast as humanly possible. This requires zero
emissions, and more, at emergency speed.
"The Transition Decade" campaign is well under way & being
designed to meet this dual challenge of going for the goals
necessary to achieve real and effective change.
The "Transition Decade" strategy is to harness the power
and energy of very real collaboration. We are creating an
effective alliance & committed groups inspired and driven
by a collaborative framework..A strategy we can and must
all embrace, through this next decade of structural and
social change.
The "Transitional Decade" launch is the opportunity to
take the size and effectiveness of this alliance to a whole
new level. Already a growing cluster of groups are dedicated
to the "transition decade" and working together to define
how the safe climate goal can be achieved, through technical
and lifestyle change.
This alliance is also working on how the whole of society can
engage with a commitment and passion so that governments and
large corporations realize that taking effective action is
the only viable course.
THE TRANSITION DECADE IT’S TIME TO RESTORE A SAFE CLIMATE
POWER OF COLLABORATION WITH A SHARED PLAN
This is the "Transition Decade," a shared time frame for
action to restore a safe climate and sustainable world -
for US all, all species, all generations.
To make this possible we need to create a commitment from
All communities and build the political will to adopt and
implement the necessary actions to avoid further tipping
points.
To achieve the Transition Decade goals we must all need to engage
and build a mass alliance that is inclusive of all parts of OUR
society. A vast job that no one group can do alone. Many of the
solutions are well within our reach.
Now is the time to engage everyone, everywhere. As a whole and
together we can work to restore a safe climate.
Don't ask what the "Transition Decade is doing for one ask what
one is doing for the "Transition Decade
Always engaging in Transition

For more information and donations to this remarkably

Australia Western Sahara Association at the website
Money raised will assist the Australia Western Sahara
Association to continue lobbying governments to achieve
true justice for the Saharawi people by highlighting the
ongoing human rights violations, and Australia’s role in
the exploitation of (WS) Western Sahara's valued and
natural resources which goes against the 2002 Hans Correll
UN legal opinion on this issue......
linkwww.arso.org/UNlegaladv.htm
Money raised will also go to Union Aid Abroad for projects
in Western Sahara. WS refugees have been living in refugee
camps for the last 34 years in inhospitable conditions, and
waiting for t1he long promised UN brokered vote of self-
determination to be resolved...Western Sahara has a similar
history to East Timor except Spain being the colonial power
and Morocco the aggressor.
The Casablanca 7 are human rights defenders facing a military
court for their genuine efforts to protect human rights in the
occupied region of Western Sahara and to campaign for the right
of the Saharawi people to their rightful independence.
We hope that you will come and join us, to support AWSA in striving
for a peaceful resolution to the injustice perpetrated against the
Saharawi people over the last 34 years.

VITA NEWS FLASH
First steps for human kind post naughties!!!
"Compassion trust and integrity are outstripping
the DOW Jones!! Wall st is becoming more and more
alarmed!! More later from the lower east side~!!
Compassion means letting experience in then allows
us ALL to share the love the joy the suffering and
pain of others...
Compassion and empathy allows us ALL to be party and
part of the journey we are all on together....
Ones meditation is silent and listening, trusting and
initiates hearing the voice within us that name's our
desire and commits to our future Prayer is that same
aspiration transformed and then vocalized….
Diligence persistence and perseverance are the tools
we must use to pursue the rewards that follow when our
highest thoughts, hearts and actions are clear and very
inclusive...
As Izumi who lived in the tenth century says
“Watching the moon at dawn, solitary, mid-sky,I knew
myself completely. No part left out.”
When we are open to all parts of ourselves and to
others across the world, Tibetan Magic happens and
we have touched the moon the sun and sky of our real
potential. We can then connect with one another fully
with genuine love trust and compassion.
