Green Bikes for Peace

The Green Bikes for Peace project is a 30-day-long biking tour crossing 5 countries, with youth participating. The aim of the trip is to draw attention to sustainability.

Between June 19 and July 19 2009, 25 youths will cycle through 5 countries and 11 cities from Trieste to Ljubljana, then from Linz to Pécs.

The task of the youths participating at the tour selected by the partner organisations is to explore Europe now without borders, comparing it to the unified Roman Empire two thousand years ago.

The main objective of the project is to actively include youths from the cities concerned and a real dialogue could be established how they see the world and their environment. Therefore during the tour workshops and cultural events are organised (e.g. concerts, expos, statue inauguration ceremonies, etc.) with the cooperation of local NGOs, municipalities and companies.

Korea does nuke too!

So this is it, North Korea is willing to pump up their nukes, great, wonderful, awesome;
The irony of all this is that North Korea entered the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968, but suddenly dropped out in 2003.

On the 25th of May 2009 the missiles charged with hydrogen power are flying again in the eastern sky, test flights on and on, and here in the west we're still thinking "Oh! that's so horrible, oh, naughty naughty North Koreans! Why in the world would they do that!"

We are not asking ourselves the correct question: As I am writing this article, all the countries that signed the 1968 Treaty are still equipped with nuclear missiles. No wonder the Pyongyang dictatorship feels legitimated to research nukes if the threat of a nuclear war with the US is still out there, real and ready to happen.

The news program critics are incredibly opposed to the nuke tests in North Korea, they condemn Pyongyang’s appalling attitude, but nobody mentions that France, the US, India, Pakistan, Israel, China and Russia still have plenty of nuclear devices. I won’t bother writing all of them here but check this list out and scream if you want: Wikipedia list of nuclear weapons on earth
Do you get the issue here?
Pyongyang is not the main problem.
The main problem is the existing number of nuclear arms on the planet and the fear populations have towards one another.

It's just ridiculous that in an era of global communication and exchange of information, governments feel the need to have weapons of mass destruction. Governments should come together and decide that to best protect their nation they must throw the enormous amount of nuclear crap away from earth and try to figure something out together!

Whoever wants to sign a new petition to stop the countries researching nuclear weapons, please sign our petition here: YES I SIGN AGAINST NUCLEAR WEAPONS RESEARCH
We believe the net is the only way to make the world less rotten than it already is.
Peace out.
