Copenhagen Calling Brown COP15

This just in from Avaaz:

“We just got word that the UK’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown would like to update Avaaz members on the Copenhagen summit and answer some questions from us TODAY (Wednesday), before he sits down with Barack Obama, Germany’s Angela Merkel, China’s Wen Jiabao, President Lula from Brazil and other top leaders.

So we’ve set up a mass phone-call with UK PM Gordon Brown a few minutes from now, and everyone’s invited!

Details –
A conference call with the UK Prime Minister at 5.30pm European time (4.30pm GMT / 11.30am EST) today, lasting for half an hour.

Later - If you missed the call, you can stay tuned to the official COP15 website. Of course, you can participate right here on Elephant Journal by posting your thoughts as comments.

One useful comment mentioned by Prime Minister Brown concerned a concept called “common atmospheric space” from the Bolivian negotiator. Bolivia has a particular interest in the climate change phenomenon because of the effects it has on their water supply, as pointed out in this New York Times article entitled “In Bolivia Water and Ice Tell of Climate Change”.

Michael loves sharing what he's learned about alternative lifestyles. He calls it "lifestyle entrepreneurship". He's into organic gardening, mindful living, and realizes that we only have this life and each other. His favorite quote is "The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." (James A. Michener)
