Share this link, “Like” us on Facebook, Twitter it, email this Kickstarter link to your friends, family, supporters, co-workers, fellow fans and anyone else. “Be Here Now” is an inspiring documentary and love story, about Andy Whitfield who put the same dedication he brought to his starring role in SPARTACUS, into fighting life threatening cancer. The money we raise on Kickstarter will fund the additional filming and editing needed to finish the film. For your contributions, you will not only be rewarded with amazing, limited edition and collector’s item gifts — but you will be helping to make Andy’s wish — to help or inspire others — come true, because we plan to distribute the completed film as widely as possible internationally.
A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle For a Living Planet
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement — grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. From halting dams in the Grand Canyon to battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love Canal; from Greenpeace saving the whales to Chico Mendes and the rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from climate change to the promise of transforming our civilization, the film tells vivid stories about people fighting — and succeeding — against enormous odds.

Happy International Permaculture Day 2012! www.permacultureday.info
International Permaculture Day – is a day where a range of Permaculture events occur across Australia and around the globe. All activities are held on Sunday May 6 unless specified otherwise.
All of us would acknowledge our own work as modest; it is the totality of such modest work that is impressive. Great changes are taking place. Why not join us in the making of a better future.
Ingenio Patet Campus. The field lies open to the intellect.

Sign our petition to STOP mining on Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve
The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is a conservation property and a tribute to Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.
The 135,000 ha property, in Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula, is home to a set of important spring fed wetlands which provide a critical water source to threatened habitat, provide permanent flow of water to the Wenlock River, and is home to rare and vulnerable plants and wildlife.
The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) was acquired as part of the National Reserve System Programme for the purpose of nature conservation with the assistance of the Australian Government.
The Situation
The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is being threatened by strip mining. Cape Alumina Pty Ltd has lodged mining lease applications which include approximately 12,300 ha of the Reserve. Cape Alumina company documents indicate an intention to mine 50 plus million tons over a 10 year period commencing 2010. The greater part of this mine is on SIWR
The proposed area for mining on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve contains the head waters of irreplaceable waterways and unique biodiversity which will not recover after mining operations are finished.
Help Us Collect Signatures
If you would like to help further in Saving the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve, we can send you a petition pack.
