theanimalblog: A baby elephant wallows in the mud, but then found himself unable to stand up again. Heavy rain in the Masai Mara created the perfect mud hole, and the youngster wasted no time in going for a roll. However, when he tried to get to his feet again, he was simply unable to stand and kept slipping over. The moment was captured on camera by professional wildlife photographer Andy Rouse, who had been following the herd.  Picture: Andy Rouse / Rex Features

New ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ Could Give Monsanto Power Over US Government

fuckyeahpermaculture:

Monsanto lobbyists have successfully pushed a last minute change into the Continuing Resolution spending bill which was approved by U.S. Congress recently. If not vetoed by President Obama, this will give Monsanto immunity from U.S. government action regarding the safety of any and all new GMO crops and will take away the Judiciary system’s constitutional mandate to review GMO crops to ensure the safety of both consumers and the environment.

Again, this has already been passed by congress so if you are against this, the only way to stop it now is to get President Obama to veto this bill when it reaches his desk.

Food Democracy Now has a petition currently organized to tell President Obama to veto it at fooddemocracynow.org.

madeinafreeworld: On Monday night, the Jewish community will begin celebrating Passover, a holiday that celebrates the ancient journey of the Jewish people from slavery to freedom. At this festive meal, Jewish communities re-tell the story of the Exodus and imagine what it was like to live as a slave, never knowing when liberation might come. Maimonides, a famous Jewish sage, was born on Passover eve in Cordoba, Spain in the 12th century. In his Mishnah Torah, he wrote… “even if there is no child present…even if there is no matzoh…even if there is no wine…it is commanded that you talk about freedom from slavery…this is the central theme of Passover.” Unfortunately, more than 3,000 years after the Jewish Exodus from Egypt and 150 years after the American Civil War, slavery still exists. Approximately 27 million people around the world are victims of modern slavery and human trafficking, with tens of thousands here in the United States. We have partnered with T’ruah, formerly Rabbis for Human Rights, to bring awareness to the continuation of slavery by developing a Seder activity based on our Slavery Footprint lifestyle survey. The resource (available to download for free) includes instructions, activity cards, four questions of modern slavery, and action steps to take to work towards a world free of slavery. As the seder begins, we say metaphorically, “This year, we are slaves. Next year, may we be free people.” Let us hope that by next Passover, our feasts of liberation will be made without slave labor and that more people will be free.
