Planet earth is under attack! Not from terrorists or martians from outer space, but from you and me, human beings...mankind!!
We all need to alter the way we live if planet earth is to survive. Take a long hard look at the way you live your life. There..s a fair chance that pretty much everything you do effects our environment in some way. Transport, energy, consumerism, food, leisure, waste etc etc all have an enormous impact on the planet.
An ever increasing amount of people and organisations are talking about these issues and choosing the least harmful options. Even the government are now taking action, bringing in new laws such as the Climate Change Bill and offering advice to us all on how we should live in order to reduce our personal impact.
The most green thing about Redditch is our annual, independent green fair. We celebrate World Environment Day every June, by bringing together a broad range of eco-friendly companies and organisations. The fair is held in and around St Stephens Church in the town centre. The event is organised by the Redditch Alliance of Greens, a broad coalition of local green/ethical groups.

I made my first visit to Redditch Green Fair this year, 2009 and loved it. Well done to everybody who was involved with putting on this great event, I look forward to coming back again next year.
What hope do we offer the nuclear race? And what do we do with the nuclear waste? We can’t bury it down, it can’t swim in the sea, So what do we do with this grim legacy? Well I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll make it quite plain, We can’t shoot it in space, or let it wash down the drain.
So we leave it behind for the kids yet to come, That bittersweet taste of the nuclear bomb.
Well the kids of tomorrow have no words to say For the world we leave and the price they will pay.
Caretakers are we and for what do we stand? For the love of the life on this sacred land.
What hope for the child in this world of ill care Lies deep with the meek on a wing and a prayer, That these Gods will see reason for the land, sea, and air, And the hope in the future for the life that lives there.
Caretakers are we, and for what do we stand? For the love of the life on this sacred land.
What reason for money when you can’t breathe the air? And the oceans and lakes they lay barren and bare, And the streams and the rivers run sewerage and poison With no drink to spair, Caretakers are we, and for what do we stand? For the love of the life on this sacred land.
The ice caps are melting thers holes in the sky, we poison the earth for the sake of a lie, its time for the one and the all standing by to take hold of the reigns and put an end to this crime for we are the meek and now is our time,,,,caretakers are we and for what do we stand,, for the love of all life on this sacred land www. goodisplanetearth.
Thanks for adding Tower Hill Stables to your friends.
Meet Marylin who was living at a petting farm in Dorest. She had lived there for 8 years and had been used to breed cute piglets so that the visitors could say "oh look at the piglets" etc - every one of her 88 babies were taken away from her as soon as they were a few months old and sent for slaughter.
Hello ~ thank you for being a friend of Moon Warriors. I am drumming up signatures for 14 petitions to stop the gassing of healthy, loving animals in the USA, so please visit my blog and sign them!
This video shows what can be done ~ it is not necessary to kill so many animals, nor kill them in an inhumane manner
Cat House on the Kings Cat Sanctuary ~ amazing video
Please visit the blog and sign petitions to end the animal gas chambers. There are 14, if you could sign at least some of them that would be great ~ Have a good week ~ Thank you for helping animals ~♥~

Friends of the Earth's One-minute film competition
Any place can tell a story. It could be a shoe box under your stairs that smells of summer; a tree on the village green with a gnarled smile; a skate park where you first mastered a kick flip; waves crashing against the shore at your favourite part of the coast.
Your favourite spot might not be leafy or wild – perhaps it’s made of concrete but the people there inspire you.
We’d like to see passion for your bit of the Earth woven into your film. It can be anything from an action movie to a rom com to a documentary, but it must be just 60 seconds long – no more and no less.
