The topic - water. My last post was also related to water and has set 3 goals: rainwater harvesting accomplised, indoor compost toilet and biological cleansing of water. I am glad to say now 10 months later we have indoor compost toilet in one of the 2 houses (so 50% done), grey water from the kitchen and bathroom is cleansed in a small constructed wetland and we have 6cubes of rainwater tanks (of which 4 operational). We learned the easiest way to cleanse greywater is in the soil. &lt;a href="http://www.permaship.org"&gt;More info on www.permaship.org &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.permaship.org.&lt;br /&gt;During our June permaculture course we made 2 little pond, which are stage towards a big pond, aiming aquaculture and possibly fish growing. For now we are becoming familiar with the edible new plants in our ponds, such as sagittaria sagifolia, sedge, water mint, duckweed, water plantain and others. &lt;br /&gt;Aquaculture has massive potential which is not widely known. Aquaculture's harvest compared to earth's culture harvest (given equal amount of energy and nutrients inputs) is 4 to 20 times more. Why?

Темата е водата! Едва ли е нужно някой да бъде убеждаван в необходимостта от разумно използване. &lt;a href="http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html"&gt;Последната публикация в този блог&lt;/a&gt;, пак беше за водата и поставяше няколко цели, събрана дъждовна вода, компостна тоалетна и биологично пречистване на водата в &lt;a href="http://www.permaship.org"&gt;Пермашип&lt;/a&gt;. Е радвам се че 10 месеца по-късно мога да кажа, че въведохме вътрешна компостна тоалетна в една от двете жилищни постройки в Пермашип, а сивата вода от домакинството и банята се оттича и пречиства в специално създадена влажна зона. Оказа се, че най-лесния начин за пречистване е във земята за повече информация следете &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.permaship.org"&gt;www.permaship.org&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;За сега поставихме 6 резервоара за дъждовна вода, общо 6 кубика, от които в действие са 4, използват се за напояване, което в тез дъждовни дни, не е никак необходимо, но за другото лято сме готови. &lt;br /&gt;Тази година по време на юнския ни курс направихме и две малки изкуствени езерца, които са стъпка към създаване на по-голямо изкуствено езеро, предимно с цел отглеждане на водни култури и евентуално риба. За сега се запознаване с различните видове ядливи водни растения и билки- блатен аир, водна леща, стрелолист, воден живовляк, мента и разни други. Водните култури носят огромен потенциал, който е масово подценяван. Реколтата от водните култури, сравнена с реколта от сухоземни култури при едни и същи хранителни вещества е от 4 до 20 пъти по-голяма. поинтересувайте се какво казва &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Mollison"&gt;Бил Молисън&lt;/a&gt; по въпроса, който е и източник на информацията за високата ефективност на водните култури.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-599800481885112334?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/599800481885112334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=599800481885112334' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/599800481885112334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/599800481885112334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-post.html' title='И пак за водата'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-1612069120996467447</id><published>2009-12-12T13:05:00.019+02:00</published><updated>2009-12-16T19:58:37.440+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='български'/><title type='text'>Запушените канали и няма ли боклук всъщност</title><content type='html'>Напоследък все повтарям, че боклук всъщност няма. Има ресурси, които могат да се използват отново по-един или друг начин. Практическото приложение на тази крилата фраза обаче, изисква сериозен ре-дизайн на обиталищата ни. Наскоро отмина традиционния &lt;a href="http://www.buynothingday.org/donothing.html"&gt;ден на некупуването&lt;/a&gt;, когато се събудих в тъмни зори в Шипка и още не съвсем в пълно съзнание запалих лампата, измих си зъбите и пуснах водата в тоалетната. Ден за некупуване...по скоро ден за наблюдение и размисъл и поставяне на цели. Целта ни в &lt;a href="http://www.permaship.org"&gt;Пермашип &lt;/a&gt;е догодина(!!) да имаме вътрешна компостна тоалетна, съхранена дъждовна вода и биологическо пречистване на сивата вода.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/SykX3atURDI/AAAAAAAADIw/_JBkuvCxNwc/s1600-h/Toilet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/SykX3atURDI/AAAAAAAADIw/_JBkuvCxNwc/s320/Toilet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415886267719369778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;В къща е доста по-лесно да елиминираме боклука и потреблението, но как стои въпроса в града, където сградите са проектирани, за да превръщат водата в боклук? Дъждовната вода се излива от улуците по улицата, където се смесва с мръсотията на града и се излива в канализацията. Когато съм в София живея в една древна кооперация на 5те кьошета. Честно казано като се прибрах от &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sava.chankov/MiddleEast09#"&gt;близкоизточните територии &lt;/a&gt;(където водата е мега кът) и установих, че каналът се е запушил направо се зарадвах. Сега водата, която изтича от мивката в банята, кухнята и пералнята се събира в един леген под умивалника и от там я ползваме за тоалетната. Виждайки количеството вода, което изтича отдолу, всеки потребител бърза да спре крана и пуска тънинка струйка. ...Този метод разбира се е екстремен и непрактичен. Има ли реални решения за града тогаз? Ползването на сивата водата от мивката за прочистване на тоалетната е доста лесно изпълнимо- ето един &lt;a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Hack-a-Toilet-for-free-water./"&gt;направи си сам дизайн&lt;/a&gt;. (на снимката - фотокредит http://instructables.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Инак решенията за ползване на &lt;a href="http://www.permaship.org/zero-impact/water/siva-voda"&gt;сивата вода &lt;/a&gt;чрез биологично пречистване се разработват и прилагат вече по света в по-малък или по-голям мащаб. &lt;br /&gt;Бъдещето е в децентрализирани живи (растителни) системи на пречистване, към които може да се премине плавно, твърди Уил Къркси &lt;a href="http://www.livingmachines.com/images/uploads/resources/Final_LM_White_Paper.pdf"&gt;в този труд&lt;/a&gt; Идеята му с две думи е да поддържаме съществуващата инфраструктура дорде се създаде нова зелена инфраструктура.. За живущите в континенталния пояс - ни са отчайвайте - през зимата пречистващата жива инсталация -  се напъхва под стъкления похлупак на оранжерия, за да не измръзне!  Излиза, че ней толкоз невъзможно да се предотврати разхищението на вода, мъненко желание се сака.

&lt;br /&gt;This Easter we had the immense pleasure to host Elsa and Olivie, who stopped here at &lt;a href="http://www.permaship.org"&gt;Permaship&lt;/a&gt;,  as part of their around-the-world journey to explore the relationship between Men and environment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time spent together as well as the story of the &lt;a href="http://www.ventsnomades.org/"&gt;Wind Nomads&lt;/a&gt; (this is the name of their association) feels like a fairy tale. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shipka has already seen original arrivals, but a tandem bike, heading uphill with a steady speed, certainly ranks somewhere at the top of our experience. Perhaps our friends, the &lt;a href="http://skynomad.com/"&gt;Sky Nomads &lt;/a&gt; could challenge this and arrive here by a paraglider ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The desire to meet with people who live in harmony with Nature, and the desire to learn about different practices and Nature friendly lifestyles is the main driving force that inspired their journey. The French tandem aims to visit 33 countries and travel 47,000 km and all this with absolutely zero CO2 impact - using only the bike, horses in South America and boat between the continents.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We shared with them our experience in permaculture techniques -like the chicken tractor, the herb spiral and our starting food forest. We have exchanged some recipies for natural nettle or yarrow fertilizer/"herbicide" and learned from Olivie that yarrow solution could be used also to control fleas in cats and dogs. We heard about an exciting plant Saponelle, used instead of soap for washing in France and the fact that Monsanto is so strong there that sharing commercial information about natural recipies for pest control and the like is illegal in France. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We spoke about &lt;a href="http://www.freedom-in-education.co.uk/Steiner.htm"&gt;Steiner&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://jivdom.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=208"&gt;Shtetinin &lt;/a&gt;Schools and dreamed together that today's children will be building the civilization of the future. We trust our today's activities are critical to enable our children build this new world.The Wind Nomads work in Association with several French schools feeding them with info from their findings. Possibly we could further develop this idea with the Eco-clubs of &lt;a href="http://www.zelen.bg/"&gt;www.zelen.bg&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoping to follow in their bike tracks soon, at least by visiting their next destination &lt;a href="http://www.rodovo-imenie.org/sluncheva_polqna/index.php?option=com_frontpage&amp;Itemid=1"&gt;Vasil Levski family estate&lt;/a&gt; where Olivie and Elsa headed after Shipka and Stara Zagora Vet Institute, we sent to all of you Spring odors from Shipka. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To follow the journey that has commenced with the old silk route and to learn much more about its aims and objectives go to the &lt;a href="http://www.ventsnomades.org/"&gt;Nomads web site&lt;/a&gt; in French or click here to download the &lt;a href="http://www.ventsnomades.org/TELECHARGEMENTS/nomadewinds.doc"&gt;English presentation of their project&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Wind Nomades!

Not all destinations have electricity on board....in Bulgarian trains transformers were stolen long time ago by people that badly needed them in their summer houses....Austrian trains however are quite comfortable and allow a proper work day. &lt;br /&gt;Feels nice to do, instead of just talking about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CO2 emissions from airplanes globally account for 2-3% of the total annual emissions, which equals all of Africa's countries emissions. &lt;br /&gt;Landing and take-off contribute to a large portion of the overall flight emissions, therefore short flights generate more emissions compared to long flights. &lt;br /&gt;For shorter trips consider the train...&lt;br /&gt;Cost is also much more attractive &lt;br /&gt;When planning your vacation...think also of all this wonderful places in your home country and around, that you always wanted to visit, but never actually do as you can "always" go there.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-398578054112533176?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/398578054112533176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=398578054112533176' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/398578054112533176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/398578054112533176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2009/03/train-ride.html' title='Train ride'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-8784435007672303944</id><published>2008-10-30T19:26:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T19:55:38.813+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Hundreds come to support their signature</title><content type='html'>A mission from the Petition committee of the European had a session today in Sofia to clarify the facts related to cases of Nature destruction as listed in 10 petitions submitted by Bulgarian NGO groups for violations and construction in protected areas - Rila, Irakli, Strandja, Kaliakra etc.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-8784435007672303944?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/8784435007672303944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=8784435007672303944' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/8784435007672303944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/8784435007672303944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/10/hundreds-come-to-support-their.html' title='Hundreds come to support their signature'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-4169884815307203420</id><published>2008-10-08T10:14:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2008-10-08T10:49:43.126+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Evolution and positive spirits in Sofia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/SOxeHWynkaI/AAAAAAAAAZw/cmGXZ39hfY8/s1600-h/07102008(004).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/SOxeHWynkaI/AAAAAAAAAZw/cmGXZ39hfY8/s320/07102008(004).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254678345704509858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday action in Sofia "Wake up for the Nature" has added a new dimension to a series of more than 2 year civil actions. The young, but very active association VeloEvolution has demonstrated in practice what evolution is. They have made change happen by presenting the solution to Sofia's monstrous traffic.  The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedicabs"&gt;riksha&lt;/a&gt; originates from Asia back in the year 1700, but recently has been widely used in big European and American cities and seems to be the answer to stopping car pollution and finding quicker means of city transport. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The procession was good - heavily attended by youngsters and not only, cheerful and noisy it had all the prerequisites to wake up society from apathy and desperation. As one of the attending journalists put it "This movement is becoming stronger and stronger, while the cause seems more and more "mission impossible". Lets keep up the good work each of us is doing and try to do more to make the mission possible. Lets not forget the wise Bulgarian saying "Помогни си сам, за да ти помогне и господ" - Do your part and god will also help you -  &lt;br /&gt;This is related to the other idea I heard these days - the financial crisis that has grasped the World also has a positive side  - it would also hamper the unsustainable "investment infrastructure projects" inside the Natural parks, protected areas and other places. Would it really?? Bearing in mind these projects are mainly money laundering?? Time will tell, but let's do our part and leave the rest to the invisible hand....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-4169884815307203420?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/4169884815307203420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=4169884815307203420' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/4169884815307203420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/4169884815307203420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/10/evolution-and-positive-spirits-in-sofia.html' title='Evolution and positive spirits in Sofia'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/SOxeHWynkaI/AAAAAAAAAZw/cmGXZ39hfY8/s72-c/07102008(004).jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-2401855556771926220</id><published>2008-08-30T13:14:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2008-08-30T17:02:26.201+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='български'/><title type='text'>Махатма Ганди</title><content type='html'>из книгата Живот сред Хималайските Учители", Свами Рама&lt;br /&gt;....Той бе човек, който постоянно се моли за другите и не таи омраза към никоя религия, каста, вероизповедание, пол или раса. Имаше трима учители: Христос, Кришна и Буда.&lt;br /&gt;Пионер в областта на ахимса-съзнанието (ненасилието), Ганди винаги опитваше да разшири човешката способност за обич. Такъв човек намира радост във всички бури и изпитания на живота. Ганди никога не защитаваше себе си, а се бореше за своя принцип на ахимса или любов. Пламъкът на любовта гореше в него денонощно, като огън, който с нищо не може да се загаси. Пълната вяра в собствените сили и безстрашието бяха основите на философията на Ганди. Насилието засягаше самата дълбина на съществото му, но изпълнен с храброст той крачеше сам в своя дух на ахимса. В живота му нямаше нито дума на негодувание, нито полъх враждебност. &lt;br /&gt;По време на престоя си при Ганди отбелязах в дневника си следните приниципи:&lt;br /&gt;1. Ненасието и страха не могат да съществуват заедно, защото ненасилието е съвършено изражение на любовта, която отхвъля страха. Да си смел понеже носиш оръжие, означава, че в теб има частичка страх. Силата на ахимса е една изключително жизнена и активна сила, която не прозитича от физическото превъзходство. &lt;br /&gt;2. Истинският последовател на ахимса не вярва в разочарованието. Той живее над него, в непрестанно щастие и мир. Този мир и радост не издват при онзи, който се гордее с интелекта и учеността си. Те идват при онзи, който е изпълнен с вяра и има нераздвоен, целенасочен ум. &lt;br /&gt;3. Интелектът може да създаде много чудеса но ненасилието е плод на сърцето. То не идва чрез интелектуални упражнения. &lt;br /&gt;4. Омразата не може да се надделее с омраза, а чрез любов. Това е неотменим закон&lt;br /&gt;5. Предаността не означава просто да се отдадеш на думи. Тя означава да се посветиш изцяло - с ума, делата и речта си.&lt;br /&gt;6. Ганди не вярваше в бариерите, издигнати от религиите, културите, суеверията и недоверието. Изповядваше братство между всички религии и сам живееше така.&lt;br /&gt;7.Ганди вярваше в изкуството да се живее без загриженост за плодовете на труда. Той самия не се тревожеше дали ще успее, или ще се провали, а обръщаше внимание на настоящата дейност, като не изпитваше ни най малко безспокойство или умора. &lt;br /&gt;8. За да се наслаждава на живота човек не трябва да се привързва егоистично към нищо. Непривързаността означава да имаш чисти мотиви и правилни средства, без притеснения или очакван резултат. Онзи, който се отказва от                действията се проваля, а онзи който се отказва от своето възнаграждение, се издига и бива освободен. &lt;br /&gt;9. Йога е пълната реинтеграция на всички състояния на ума, интелекта, сетивата, емоциите, инстиктите и всички нива на личността. Чрез този процес човек става цялостен. &lt;br /&gt;10. Мантрата на човек е неговата жизнена опора, тя го превежда през всякакви изпитания. Всяко повторение има ново значение и приближава човек все повече до Бог. Тя е способна да превърне отрицателното в личността в положително и постепенно да обедини разделените и противоположни мисли на по-дълбоки и по-дълбоки нива на съзнанието.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-2401855556771926220?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/2401855556771926220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=2401855556771926220' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/2401855556771926220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/2401855556771926220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/08/blog-post.html' title='Махатма Ганди'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-7631837164297921957</id><published>2008-04-21T15:43:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:29.608+02:00</updated><title type='text'>April 22nd Earth Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/SAyMQnFneQI/AAAAAAAAAWE/BH4aJCOG-SI/s1600-h/22AprilPostersmall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

After a few more short headings, the news continued with sport and weather forecast and stayed at these meaningful topics for the next 10 minutes.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many people have heard the news for construction in Rila? How many actually comprehend what does construction in Rila mean? How many understand what I understood yesterday going up from Panichiste to Rila Lakes? &lt;br /&gt;Here is what happens above Pionerska hut at the moment: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zDqvqaSYI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3TWLXTE-zXw/s1600-h/R001-007s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zDqvqaSYI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3TWLXTE-zXw/s320/R001-007s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178228810685499778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut trees, heavy machines and multitude of people, rack-tracks and motor sledges &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zERvqaSZI/AAAAAAAAAS8/lTQByUTpAZw/s1600-h/R001-009s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zERvqaSZI/AAAAAAAAAS8/lTQByUTpAZw/s320/R001-009s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178229480700397970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zF_vqaScI/AAAAAAAAATU/9lwPnYQEyRM/s1600-h/R001-029s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zF_vqaScI/AAAAAAAAATU/9lwPnYQEyRM/s320/R001-029s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178231370486008258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zGIPqaSdI/AAAAAAAAATc/NjohxJQzsuQ/s1600-h/R001-034s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zGIPqaSdI/AAAAAAAAATc/NjohxJQzsuQ/s320/R001-034s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178231516514896338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday the last towers of the illegally constructed lift have been placed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zKP_qaSiI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ZGBi9dvhZUA/s1600-h/R001-012s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zKP_qaSiI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ZGBi9dvhZUA/s320/R001-012s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178236047705393698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video will be uploaded at &lt;a href="http://www.forthenature.org/"&gt;http://www.forthenature.org/&lt;/a&gt;, where you will also be able to hear what a walk in Rila is like. What can not be felt watching the video is the smell of exhaust gases, you can imagine though the emissions coming out from the CONSTANTLY going up and down sledges and the brand new rack-tracks of Rilasport JSC. The noise they were making was competing with the noise from the helicopter, that was caring tower after tower, until all of them were placed. Many will say, "when the lift starts to function, the motor driven machines will be restricted" But who will stop them? It is illegal now to use those. Who will stop the people who think Rila is a motortrack, to stop showing off with their sledges? Who will stop the people who want to build a another lift up to Kabul peak? Who will stop the extension of hotels in the Rila Lakes circus? Who will educate the mass , that the garbage should be carried down and that in Rila it is allowed to walk only on the marked tracks? Who will control compliance with the National Park rules and why there is no control now? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens in Rila is a symbol of the illness of our society. There are people who are behind the curtain, that pull the wires. Their names are unknown to many and their names are not related to the shameful constructions and outrages against nature. There are people who serve them and serving them they taste the feeling of power and the need to show off. The facts are simple, there is a large quantity of expensive construction equipment that needs SITES. Rila, Rodopite, Kaliakra, Irakli, Karadere,Sinemorets, etc. are SITES, attractive to any proud owner of a concrete hotel complex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not time to wake up? Anywhere around the world there might be similar issues, caused by our twisted consumer society, but in many other countries the citizen correction is at least able to protect its saint places. There are few countries where violations will be tolerated in a National Park??!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what we do? There are 100,000 signatures in the petition, aiming cease of illegal construction in Rila. With its submission there will be action in Brussels and Sofia. For now (until the 21st of March) &lt;a href="http://forthenature.org/petitions/on-line_letter_for_rila"&gt;you can sign it here &lt;/a&gt; and also check &lt;a href="http://www.forthenature.org/"&gt;http://www.forthenature.org/&lt;/a&gt; and this blog for information when the action will be. If you have ideas what to do to stop the vicious cycle "investors"-construction-paid politicians-violation against nature, pls comment here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zYb_qaSjI/AAAAAAAAAUU/pAvvJUN-K88/s1600-h/R001-022s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zYb_qaSjI/AAAAAAAAAUU/pAvvJUN-K88/s320/R001-022s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178251647026612786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-4110250625194209571?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/4110250625194209571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=4110250625194209571' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/4110250625194209571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/4110250625194209571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/03/enough-is-enough.html' title='Enough is enough'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zDqvqaSYI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3TWLXTE-zXw/s72-c/R001-007s.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-3221836053104715819</id><published>2008-03-15T21:52:00.016+02:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:31.406+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='български'/><title type='text'>Е айде стига вече</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/03/enough-is-enough.html"&gt;For English click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вчера не отидох на акция, решихме вместо това да заснемем какво всъщност става в Рила. &lt;br /&gt;В колата на връщане от Рилски езера, чух по радиото във вечерния осведомителен бюлетин &lt;a href="http://www.bnr.bg/Horizont/News/Bulgaria/Postings/0315+rila+stroeji.htm"&gt;"Природозащитници протестираха против застрояването на Рила"&lt;/a&gt;, кратко и лаконично, макар на сайта на БНР да може да прочетете целия текст. След като изредиха събията по света и у нас така с по две думи, новините продължиха със спорта и времето и останаха на тези две съдържателни теми в следващите 10 минути.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;До колко хора е достигнала новината, че Рила се застроява вчера? Колко от тях са разбрали, какво всъщност означава застрояване на Рила, колко хора са разбрали това, което аз разбрах вчера, докато се качвах от Паничище до Рилски езера?&lt;br /&gt;Ето какво се случва малко над Пионерска в момента: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zDqvqaSYI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3TWLXTE-zXw/s1600-h/R001-007s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zDqvqaSYI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3TWLXTE-zXw/s320/R001-007s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178228810685499778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Изсечени дървета, машини и гмеж от хора и рактракове и моторни шейни&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zERvqaSZI/AAAAAAAAAS8/lTQByUTpAZw/s1600-h/R001-009s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zERvqaSZI/AAAAAAAAAS8/lTQByUTpAZw/s320/R001-009s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178229480700397970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zF_vqaScI/AAAAAAAAATU/9lwPnYQEyRM/s1600-h/R001-029s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zF_vqaScI/AAAAAAAAATU/9lwPnYQEyRM/s320/R001-029s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178231370486008258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zGIPqaSdI/AAAAAAAAATc/NjohxJQzsuQ/s1600-h/R001-034s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zGIPqaSdI/AAAAAAAAATc/NjohxJQzsuQ/s320/R001-034s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178231516514896338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вчера поставиха и последните няколко пилона на незаконностроящия се лифт.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zKP_qaSiI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ZGBi9dvhZUA/s1600-h/R001-012s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zKP_qaSiI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ZGBi9dvhZUA/s320/R001-012s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178236047705393698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Очаквайте видео кадри на &lt;a href="http://www.forthenature.org/"&gt;http://www.forthenature.org/&lt;/a&gt;, където ще може и да чуете какво представлява разходка в Рила. Няма да може да помиришете бензиновите пари, но предполагам може да се представите, какви изпарения изпускат НЕПРЕСТАННО преминаващи моторни шейни и чисто  нови рактракове на Риласпорт АД? А звукът от тях вчера се конкурираше с шума на хеликоптера, който неуморно носеше пилон след пилон. Ще кажат повечето "е като пуснат лифта, ще спрат качването на моторни превозни средства до хижа Р. Езера". А кой ще ги спре? То и сега е забранено. Кой ще спре тези, които си мислят, че Рила е мотописта, да вдигат предницата на шейните си по пътеката? Кой ще спре тези които искат да изградят друг лифт до вр. Кабул? Кой ще спре разширяване на легловата база в циркуса на Рилски Езера? Кой ще обясни на тълпите, че на боклука мястото му е в раницата и че в Рила е разрешено да се ходи само по маркираните пътеки? Кой ще контролира спазване на правилата? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Това, което се случва в Рила е символ на болестта на обществото ни. Има хора които дърпат конците без дори техните имена да са свързани с нито един от срамните строежи и посегателства срещу природата из страната. Има хора, които ги обслужват и обслужвайки ги избиват комплексите си, като се поперчат с моторната шейна. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Фактите са всъщност доста прости, в страната вече има закупена огромно количество скъпа строителна техника. Тя има нужда от ОБЕКТИ. Рила, Родопите, Калиакра, Иракли, Карадере, Синеморец са ОБЕКТИ, привлекателни за всеки горд собственик на хотелски комплекс.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Не е ли време да се събудим вече? Навсякъде по света съществуват подобни проблеми, породени от изкривеното ни консуматорско общество, но в много други страни гражданския коректив е способен да защити поне светите си места? Малко са страните, където биха допуснали гавра с Национален Парк? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Е какво да правим? Събрани са над 100,000 подписа в подписката,която цели спиране на незаконното строителство в Рила. С внасянето й ще се организира акция и в Брюксел и в София. За сега (до 21ви март) &lt;a href="http://forthenature.org/petitions/on-line_letter_for_rila"&gt;може да я подпишете&lt;/a&gt; и да следите &lt;a href="http://www.forthenature.org/"&gt;http://www.forthenature.org/&lt;/a&gt; и този блог за информация кога ще са акциите. Ако имате идеи как да действаме, за да спрем порочния кръг - инвеститори-строежи-платени политици-посегателство над природата, моля коментирайте тук.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zYb_qaSjI/AAAAAAAAAUU/pAvvJUN-K88/s1600-h/R001-022s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zYb_qaSjI/AAAAAAAAAUU/pAvvJUN-K88/s320/R001-022s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178251647026612786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-3221836053104715819?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/3221836053104715819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=3221836053104715819' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/3221836053104715819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/3221836053104715819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/03/blog-post_15.html' title='Е айде стига вече'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R9zDqvqaSYI/AAAAAAAAAS0/3TWLXTE-zXw/s72-c/R001-007s.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-6770577499040855501</id><published>2008-02-26T14:57:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-02-26T16:24:13.346+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Децата и природата</title><content type='html'>Покрай вота на недоверие миналата седмица пак ме обзе обичайното въодушевление, че точно сега е момента да се отървем от нахалната алчна сбирщина, която ни управлява. &lt;br /&gt;Мина и замина вота и видя се, че тези дето идат са ептен гавази и палячовци.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Говорихме си с Лили преди вота и много ме впечатли, това което тя каза, че апелите и действията за опазване на природата в България не трябва в никакъв случай да се обвързват с подобни вотове. Природата и децата това са двете обединителни каузи, които имат значение за всички хора.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Първоначалната и основна цел този блог е да спомага за създаване на съзнание и осъзнат  избор във всичките ни действия. Често се обезсърчаваме, струва ни се безнадежно и невъзможно някога средата, в която живеем да стане пак приятно място...&lt;br /&gt;Във всяка една секунда от живота си правим избор, често напълно безсъзнателно... въпрос на навик е когато правим  даден избор да си зададем въпроса как ще се отрази той на нашите деца и на природата? Ако филтрираме по този начин постъпките си ще има по-малко бетонни недоразумения и повече градинки,  усмивки,  залези и чист въздух. &lt;br /&gt;Но как да свържем всичко което правим със собствените си деца, как е възможно хора, които обичат децата си да работят по проекти, които замърсяват или вредят на средата? Хората имат странната способност да се разделят на две, едната част е баща, а другата е човек, който трябва да изкарва прехраната на семейството и някъде се губи връзката между двете. Става по-важно да дадеш материална обезпеченост за детето, а духовната и природната някак не е приоритет....Нека първо мислим за живото наследство за децата си преди да полагаме изливаме бетон. И нека бъдем верни в словото си....май е време за равносметка.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-6770577499040855501?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/6770577499040855501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=6770577499040855501' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6770577499040855501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6770577499040855501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post_26.html' title='Децата и природата'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-250283123928540281</id><published>2008-02-11T20:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-02-11T20:31:01.629+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Целувка за Иракли 14ти пред Народния</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://daspasimirakli.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=270&amp;Itemid=18"&gt;14ти февруари пред народния&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-250283123928540281?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/250283123928540281/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=250283123928540281' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/250283123928540281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/250283123928540281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/02/14.html' title='Целувка за Иракли 14ти пред Народния'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-3316000651798414563</id><published>2008-02-10T11:51:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:32.625+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Actions in protection of Nature continue</title><content type='html'>Today at Irakli citizens gathered at the spot to protest for the ongoing construction despite the order of the Burgas Regional Inspectorate to halt construction.

Kukeri visited the parliament aiming to clean the evil spirits residing there. This was followed by activists hanging а huge poster from a building next to the Ministry of Environment and Waters  reading "Rila hangs by a thread" coupled with meetings in the Parliament and in the Ministry with no result worthwhile to mention (apparently the Deputy Enviromental Ministers were much more concerned about the economy than the environment). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R5dfsHiFspI/AAAAAAAAAQE/7hgwBfuQuco/s1600-h/R001-031s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/R5dfsHiFspI/AAAAAAAAAQE/7hgwBfuQuco/s320/R001-031s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158697109717103250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The culmination of the event was a lights procession alongside the streets of Sofia.

Строителството е необезопасено за хората, а ако въобще някога се даде разрешително за строеж, то такова би се извършвало с помощта на хеликоптер, а не с предварително строителство на път;&lt;br /&gt;- Лифтът е само начало на строителство на зимен курорт в района на Паничище-Рилски Езера-Кабул. Успоредно с него се прокарват "противопожарни просеки", които съвпадат с пистите заложени в проекта. &lt;br /&gt;- Земя която е държавна собственост е продадена от община Сапарева Баня на Рила Спорт?? как става това? очевидно лесно, ако се случва на територията на Абсурдистан&lt;br /&gt;- Продават се апартаменти на брега на езерото?? &lt;a href="http://www.mirela.bg/project.php?id=44949"&gt;http://www.mirela.bg/project.php?id=44949&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Строежите в защитени територии неминуемо ще доведат до глоби от ЕС &lt;/strong&gt;за нарушение на директивите. Тези глоби ще се плащат от българския данокъплатец, а не от строителите и нарушителите. Обърнете внимание строителите ще могат дори да съдят българската държава за обезщетение, когато се наложи незаконните съоръжения да бъдат съборени. (особено когато такива са изградени в съответсвие с Обществено устройствени планове, разрешаващи такова строителство)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;вижте филмчето за Рила на сайта на http://forthenature.org/, представящо мотивацията на различни хора да излезат на улицата&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Протестите не са особено ефективни засега, но това е начин за изразяване на гражданска позиция, наред с другите действия като подписки, декларации и информиране на национални и европейски институции и стартиране на съдебни дела.  Когато кейти дойде с нейната скиорска каска на протест, това ще е знак че е и гражданина скептик иска да спре безумството. На първо време, този гражданин трябва да се убеди, че в действителност става дума за безумство. т.e необходима е информация и съъответно разпространение за премахване на воалите, които закриват истинските проблеми. &lt;br /&gt;Знаете ли, че: &lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://daspasimirakli.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=254&amp;Itemid=7"&gt;новия Обществено Устройствен план на община Царево предвижда застрояване на цялата морска ивица Царево-Резово&lt;/a&gt; и изважда &lt;a href="http://e-vestnik.bg/3053"&gt;600 хектара от парк Странджа &lt;/a&gt;естествено напълно незаконно? Победата за Странджа се оказа, спечелена битка, но войната никак не е свършила. &lt;br /&gt;- На Иракли се строи и в момента, &lt;a href="http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/1480/Default.aspx"&gt;проектът на великия Норман Фостър е за дерето&lt;/a&gt;, има проекти за ски курорт на Перелик, Ком и къде ли още не....&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;a href="http://www.bluelink.net/savepirin/doklad_pirinBG.pdf"&gt;Пистите в Пирин причиняват ерозия и се намират на 2.5 повече територия отколкото е в разрешителното&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;- Освен,че никой не мисли за природата (изсичат се вековни гори и се залесяват ниви според ОУП- на Царево), рядко някой се сеща да мисли за инфрастуктурата в новите "курорти" - вече видяхме Слънчев бряг затънал в лайна през 2006, и Банско без вода и отопление в "петзвездните си хотели"&lt;br /&gt;Все повече хора осъзнават че става дума за реализация на икомически неизгодни, така наречени "инвестиционни проекти", които препират пари, унищожавайки  природата в нарушение на националните и международни закони и директиви. Тези хора ще бъдат на 23-ти по улиците на София, за да могат децата им да имат същите възможности каквито и ние имахме да опознаваме природата на живо, а не от учебниците и музеите. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://daspasimirakli.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=256&amp;Itemid=6"&gt;ИСКАМЕ СИ ПЛАНИНАТА ЖИВА!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;КУКЕРИ, ПЕЩЕРНЯЦИ, ПЛАНИНАРИ, СКИОРИ, СНОУБОРДИСТИ,&lt;br /&gt;АЛПИНИСТИ, ОПТИМИСТИ...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;23.01.2008 (сряда) &lt;br /&gt;начало: 17.30ч. – паметника на св.

Plant a tree</title><content type='html'>After spending couple of hours, reading if blackle.com saves energy compared to google.com i learnt that: &lt;br /&gt;- consumption of electrical energy depends on the monitor type. Today about 75% of the monitors in use are LCD/TFT and only 25% CRT. &lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD"&gt;LCD/TFT &lt;/a&gt; monitors (30-65W) are significantly more &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/answers/threadview?id=1082"&gt;energy efficient&lt;/a&gt; compared to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube"&gt;CRT&lt;/a&gt; monitors(150W); &lt;br /&gt;- LCD/TFT monintors actually consume slightly more power when showing a black screen vs white. &lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TFT screen is a sheet of plastic (TFT-sheet) made of small squares (pixels) that change color when a certain voltage is applied. Behind this TFT-sheet, there is a white neon-lamp that shine through the TFT-sheet. This way, a colored pixel on the TFT-sheet becomes lit up by the neon-lamp. So, if a TFT-sheet is unpowered, the pixels are transperant, and thus letting all the light through. When you power all the pixels on the TFT-sheet at full-power, they will become black, and the light doesn't shine through, which is the reason a TFT screen, showing a black screen, is consuming more power then one showing a white one, although the difference is almost negligible. &lt;/em&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;- CRT monitors indeed consume approx 25% less energy when showing black screens vs white ones. &lt;br /&gt;- Blackle is not part of google and does not contain the entire functionality of google (advanced search, metric conversions and calculator, links to gmail, picasa, groups and all other extras). The results of the search engine of blackle are not identical to google results - some of the paid adds in blackle are shown as results, which changes the ranking. e.g. google search results for the word "monitor" in Bulgarian list in the first top 10 the web site for blind people http://bezmonitor.com/, while blackle results are more commercially oriented sites....&lt;br /&gt;- Google has a commitment to green &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070329-its-easy-being-green-google-goes-solar.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;. I do not find information for blackle and the like to have such commitments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conculsions: &lt;br /&gt;1) If you are still using CRT monitor, www.blackle.com and the like will reduce insignificantly the energy you use. But to measure the big picture you have to consider blackle is slower, which would counter balance the effect of energy savings on your montor with the energy spent on the server. ..It is worth giving a thought to replace your monitor, if that is not viable as of yet...turning down the its brightness would be the easiest way to reduce energy (that applies also to LCD users)&lt;br /&gt;2) The probability of finding what you are searching for with google is much higher, which in combination to google energy saving activities - such as usage of solar power and energy saving servers - activities that certainly are measuarable. makes me go back to using www.google.com (which was not my intention when I started writing this post)&lt;br /&gt;3) For the time I spent to read the info and write this post , I could have planted at least one tree. I leave that task for this Spring and set a goal before February 15, 2008 to have a detailed plan where and what trees I need to plant in the garden &lt;br /&gt;*source: http://blog.saxgod.be/index.php?blogid=1&amp;query=shine&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-5224594810959999892?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/5224594810959999892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=5224594810959999892' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/5224594810959999892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/5224594810959999892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/01/for-and-against-blacklecom-plant-tree.html' title='For and against &quot;blackle.com&quot;.

Посадете дърво</title><content type='html'>След като прекарах няколко часа в четене на материали по  въпроса спестява ли blackle.com електроенергия спрямо google.com научих, че: &lt;br /&gt;- консумацията на електроенергия зависи от вида монитор. В днешни дни в световен мащаб около 75% от мониторите са LCD/TFT и само 25% CRT. &lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD"&gt;LCD/TFT &lt;/a&gt;мониторите (30-65W) са значително &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/answers/threadview?id=1082"&gt;по-икономични&lt;/a&gt; от &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube"&gt;CRT&lt;/a&gt; мониторите (150W); &lt;br /&gt;- LCD/TFT мониторите потрбяват повече енергия, когато показват черен екран в сравнение с бял. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;TFT екрана е пластмасов лист, направен от малки квадратчета (пиксели), които променят цвета си в зависимост от волтажа. Този лист не излъчва светлина, зад него се намира неонова лампа, която осветява листа. Ако TFT листа не се захранва, пикселите са прозрачни, обратно за да се изобрази черен екран, е необходимо да се захрани максимално листа с енергия така, че да не пропуска светлината от лампата. Това е и причината при черен екран да се консумира повече електроенергия отколкото при бял, макар разликата да е минимална;&lt;/em&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;- CRT мониторите действително потребяват с около 25% по-малко електроенергия, когато екрана е черен в сравнение с бял екран;&lt;br /&gt;- Blackle не е част от googlе и не притежава пълната функционалност на google. (разширено търсене, метрични преобразувания и калкулатор, връзки към пощата, пикаса, групите и всички други екстри). Резултатите от търсачката на blackle не са идентични с тези на Google - някои от платените реклами в blackle излизат като резултат, с което се променя ранкирането. Например при търсене на думата "монитор" в първите 10 на google излезе сайта http://bezmonitor.com/, а в blackle преобладаваха по-търговско ориентирани резултати....&lt;br /&gt;- Google са си поставили за цел &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070329-its-easy-being-green-google-goes-solar.html"&gt;да се съобразяват с природата и да пестят енергия в различни направления&lt;/a&gt;. За blackle и подобните му не намирам информация за подобни начинания. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Изводи: &lt;br /&gt;1) Ако все още ползвате CRT монитор, www.blackle.com и подобните му ще намалят незначително потреблението на енергия. За да е пълна картината, трябва да се има в предвид, че blackle търсенето отнема по-дълго време от google търсенето, което неутрализира ефекта..Струва си да се замислите за подмяна на монитора си с LCD, ако такава възможност не съществува за момента, бихте могли най-лесното да намалите яркостта на вашия монитор, което води до сигурен резултат ((това важи и за LCD потребителите).&lt;br /&gt;2) Ползвайки google вероятността да намерите каквото търсите е доста по-голяма, което в комбинация със стремежа на google да намали консумацията на електроенергия чрез измерими дейности -ползване на слънчева енергия, енергоспестяващи машини и тн, ме кара да се върна към ползване на &lt;a href="www.google.com "&gt;www.google.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) За времето което употребих, за да напиша този пост и да събера информацията, която излагам тук, можех да посадя поне едно дърво. Оставям тази задача за на пролет и си поставям целта до 15.02.2008 да определя какви дървета ще садя и къде точно в градината да ги разположа.&lt;br /&gt;*източник: source: http://blog.saxgod.be/index.php?blogid=1&amp;query=shine&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-6167942477692343159?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/6167942477692343159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=6167942477692343159' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6167942477692343159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6167942477692343159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/01/blacklecom.html' title='За и против blackle.com.

The aim is to get "Everyone talking about a better future". Surely you would say, stop talking, lets do it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does not really take rocket science to reduce our footprint on the environment. Some of the things we can do are cheap and easy and also imprpove our lifestyle - riding a bycicle instead of driving, growing food instead of bying. It depends though, some of you would not agree that riding a bycicle is improvement of life style. Therefore, I dont want to get into the &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/"&gt;"what you can do for a green living"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you are rather sceptical on the subject, but even the sceptical ones, care, so if you are in the mood or when you are in the mood lets commit to 3 things you would enjoy doing and which lead to "a better future". &lt;br /&gt;The 1st thing for me is an immediate "go"&lt;br /&gt;1. Starting today I am using www.blackle.com instead of www.google.com. Same work less energy. &lt;strong&gt;COMMENT. I have to correct this statement. Since I posted this till today i have been using blackle, &lt;a href="http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2008/01/for-and-against-blacklecom-plant-tree.html"&gt;however just found out that it is not saving energy&lt;/a&gt;, therefore as of today Jan. 15th, 2008 I go back to google.&lt;/strong&gt;Second is mid term (within next 2 months) &lt;br /&gt;2. I will plant 3 new trees and replant 6 that are growing in the "wrong" place. &lt;br /&gt;Third is the long-term  &lt;strong&gt;NOT YET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I will work for creating a centre for alternartive technologies aiming research and promotion of alternative means to food, energy, transport. &lt;em&gt;A perma culture centre. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; IN PROGRESS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the common defintions of &lt;em&gt;perma culture&lt;/em&gt;, citing Peter Whitefield book the Earthcare manual, is &lt;em&gt;"taking natural ecosystems as the model of our human habitats. Natural ecosystems, are almost by definition sustainable, and if we can understand how they work we can use that understanding to make our own lives more sustainable."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, lets make 3 commitments today - shortterm, midterm and longterm &lt;br /&gt;finally when we have the chance lets observe and follow nature as it is always the best source of ideas on how to improve our lifes and our future.&lt;br /&gt;In 2 months i will come back on the subject and see my progress, if you are willing to share your experiences please send comments to this blog.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-6596455045905370018?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/6596455045905370018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=6596455045905370018' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6596455045905370018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6596455045905370018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/10/blog-action-day.html' title='Blog Action Day'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-5037714037854578801</id><published>2007-10-12T17:19:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:35.405+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Construction in Rila</title><content type='html'>Apologies for the lack of update past one month…I was fighting other battles and I am still away. There was a question raised on the blog if the protests led to any reaction of the Government what concerns illegal construction in Rila (Panichishte-Rila Lakes-Kabul). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The short answer is no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/Rw-E-poTojI/AAAAAAAAALM/-B-3u5IYwAc/s1600-h/R001-014s.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/Rw-E-poTojI/AAAAAAAAALM/-B-3u5IYwAc/s320/R001-014s.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120457513205211698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ministry of Environment has made an investigation, which found the construction was not preceded by an Assessment of the Environmental Impact and it was said that the responsible regional authorities will be fined. The construction continues with heavy machines working inside the park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Construction of the new resort “Super Borovetz” has also been commenced. &lt;a href="http://forthenature.org/news/146"&gt;Serious concerns regarding its impact on nature and local people, has been raised. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Past experience with Bansko shows the Bansko Ski Zone footprint has exceeded its permit with 150%) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only positive development is on the Natura 2000 zones, whose coverage has been extended now on 30% of the country's teritorry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;А &lt;a href="http://panda.org/bg/get_involvedd/campaign_parks/campaign_events/index.cfm"&gt;cleaning campaign &lt;/a&gt;starts this weekend in all 10 Nature Parks – Vitosha, Zlatni Piasatzi, Strandja, Shumensko Plato, Sinite Kamani, Vrachanski Balkan, Persina, Rila Monastery, Balgarka, Rusenski Lom&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-5037714037854578801?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/5037714037854578801/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=5037714037854578801' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/5037714037854578801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/5037714037854578801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/10/construction-in-rila.html' title='Construction in Rila'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/Rw-E-poTojI/AAAAAAAAALM/-B-3u5IYwAc/s72-c/R001-014s.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-9035264806450745298</id><published>2007-09-13T23:57:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:35.965+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='български'/><title type='text'>Ходи назад - Тръгни напред.</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Репортаж на &lt;a href="http://www.mtb-bg.com/articles/ar093_part01.htm"&gt;Иван Пенчев&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;фотография Деница Русева &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Протест срещу орязването на Натура 2000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RumrPnxDUTI/AAAAAAAAAK0/PNyC1BYc0t0/s1600-h/IMG_9304.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RumrPnxDUTI/AAAAAAAAAK0/PNyC1BYc0t0/s320/IMG_9304.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109803537089646898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Върви народе, възродени, върви  напред,  ходи назад. Така някакси протече за мен  шествието вчера, тръгнало от Съдебната палата. Незнам защо, без връзка, но се сещам за един персонаж от бандата на доктор Дулитъл – Бутни – дръпни. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Тръгни – върви&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Макар да кацнах със леко закъснение за началото на шествието, задръстванията едва ли бяха причинени от предстоящото събитие, всичко изглеждаше нормално. Поне за човек като мен, който не е от най-често срещаните физиономии по протестите. Нормалната обстановка – малко телевизии, някой друг микрофон,  едно ядро от хора, които бяха подготвили запомнящи се плакати. Направи ми впечатление, че почти всеки седми, примерно, от близо 200-те протестиращи трупаха мега-гига байтове снимков материал, и се изживяваха в две роли, хем протестиращи, хем документиращи. Яко! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RumsInxDUUI/AAAAAAAAAK8/G4Mam_XKs0E/s1600-h/IMG_9299.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RumsInxDUUI/AAAAAAAAAK8/G4Mam_XKs0E/s320/IMG_9299.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109804516342190402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И така, някой извика, грабвайте … и тръгнахме към МОСфилм, пардон МОСВ. &lt;br /&gt;Върви напред – ходи назад&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RumscHxDUVI/AAAAAAAAALE/dQbg-eyu9w8/s1600-h/IMG_9313.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RumscHxDUVI/AAAAAAAAALE/dQbg-eyu9w8/s320/IMG_9313.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109804851349639506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Полицията много “вежливо” ни проводи напред. Как се роди почина да се ходи назад, така и неразбрах. Но в един момент све около мен се обърнаха и започнаха да ходят рачешката назад. Абе, аз лично не ходих и ако ме питате защо, немога да ви отговоря. Гледах напред кво става.   Вървя напред и какво да видя. Има няма на всеки магазин по Графа се бяха изтипосали продавачки- продавачи със сложени ръце на хълбоци и зяпаха шествието, все едно цирка минава. От трамваите ме наблюдаваха летаргични погледи, направо си мислих, че не ме виждат. Невидим ли съм?! Явно да, вървях напред.....а, похода-шествие ходеше назад. Има разлика.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Спри – тъпчи&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Незнам що, но се получи така че шествието спря на двайсетина метра от саМОСВал-а. Не че това беше някакъв проблем, но не беше много редно да бъдат държан без ”ангажмон” стоварения десант от полиция пред входа на заведението на министър Чакъров, Нейсе, след кратко тъпчене на едно място, тупурдията се пренесе пред портите на екочиновниците. Развяха се пряпорци, подеха се песни и после стана време да си вървя. Имах  ангажмонти ...  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Конструктивно -  деструктивно&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ах, да! Преди да затворя дюкяна ми хрумна една идея. Става дума за черен ПР – попаднах скоро на един  &lt;a href="http://bgnature-blacklist.bravehost.com/"&gt;черен списък на организации и лица&lt;/a&gt;, сиреч инвеститори, пряко замесени в погубването на природата в България. Та, черната работа е следната – защо да не се направят митинги пред щаб-квартирите на въпросните инвеститори, вместо пред сградата на разни чиновници, от които явно почти нищо независи.

They get instructions block these crowd, let them go now, now stop them. Now you can not cross the street because I say so and so on. They keep playing the leading part...they stop people...they push people..they arest people....they beat people. On the other side the peole are completely unorganized, from that aspect the event was quuite flash mob like. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not surprisingly between the shouts for Rila and Pirin and Irakli, freedom was the the next on the agenda. The arrests were completely groundless....at several times the police starting pushing people and created chaos. Cveta Hristova was knocked down on the pedestrian path during one such chaotic pushing. The next thing she knew was she is dragged into a police car and taken to the police station. The fate of Krasimir Grozdanov was similar althoug being a male under such cirmustances is certainly a disadvantahe as police has beated Krasimir in the car and in the police starion. Accusations were they did not obey police order. Cveta did not hear any such order...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a male is not much of advantage.....Krassimir was beaten in the police car and in the police station. Both he and Cveta were released around 10:30pm. Accusations were they did not obey police order. Cveta did not hear any such order...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The action with the police divert the focus away from the subject (Nature) to the other problems of democracy and Police country rulings- apart from the aggresion towards Cveta and Krasimir, the police has also dragged and pushed others, including catching Nevena Gurova (~ woman aprox 40-50 years of age) and releasing her on the ground with &lt;strong&gt;her head top down on the street!!! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The take aways for me are: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- More discreet actions (from the police) and better preparation are due. Revolution is sweet as it brings adrenaline but if doesnt knock governments it is pointless waste of energy. We need results!! How many of us believe that the construction in Rila can be stopped, how many believe Bansko will be ever restored? Not many I am afraid&lt;br /&gt;- More mindfulness during an action, the whole point is for flash mobs is sponatenous actions.Means that if police officers block the crowd and do not allow to cross the street it is easy just to turn the other way round and cross from different place. less conflict...&lt;br /&gt;- The ecological disasters/invasion occurring all over Bulgaria need to be documented and filed in court. Anyoyne who has information of any such violation should list it and send to the eco organizations. (e.g. &lt;a href="http://forthenature.org/"&gt;http://forthenature.org/&lt;/a&gt;?) &lt;br /&gt;- I have to go digital and upgrade all the hardware around me. For this post you will have to trust only my eye camera - the arrests, for the police pushing, for the signs and for the inspiration. Luckily &lt;a href="http://tropot.net/photoblog/index.php"&gt;tropot &lt;/a&gt;was there too,...so you can see also with your eyes!!&lt;br /&gt;- education - on flash mobs for protesters, on behaviour with citizens for police men&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this I end up this post and wish you a very good night.

Липсата на санкции и огромните печалби предизвиква сходни инвеститорски интереси - резултат заявка за ски курорти  на Перелик, Рилски Езера, Стара Планина....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Да погледнем и на Изток: &lt;br /&gt;Няма действия от страна на МОСВ за възстановяване статута на Камчийски пясъци. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Инвеститорски интереси са налазили и друга лонгозна гора по черноморието - в устието на река Вая - снимки от изкореняване на гората &lt;a href="http://daspasimirakli.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&amp;Itemid=27"&gt;по поречието на реката. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И така с пожелание за скорошно прекратяване на апетитите за застрояване на девстените кътчета на България завършвам този пост. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ако не успеете да дойдете във вторник, за да си попресичате около паметника на Апостола, може да се включите и чрез бойкот на &lt;a href="http://bgnature-blacklist.bravehost.com/"&gt;фирмите, отговорни за престъпленията срещу природата и демокрацията в България&lt;/a&gt;. - на този линк има и частичен списък на територии, където бетонът вече е залял природата .....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-7749325626331955125?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/7749325626331955125/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=7749325626331955125' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/7749325626331955125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/7749325626331955125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/09/blog-post.html' title='Акция в защита на Рила, Пирин, Перелик, Иракли..'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/Rtx8Vko_zWI/AAAAAAAAAKE/kO6fHmnbTdA/s72-c/__7_00138.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-5030115404194285606</id><published>2007-08-30T01:17:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:39.275+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Echo from Rakovski St.</title><content type='html'>The summary lines of Aug 29th action in protection of National Park Rila is &lt;br /&gt;- More and more people go out on the street and request immediated STOP of the violations of laws and nature;&lt;br /&gt;- The Municipality has played hard core.

Местни чакат до 15 август да се лисне хасфалта - кметът на Сапарева щял да записва дивиденти за изборите септември. Изчакакваме чинно, и от там с колата до Горна Земя, a от там скок подскок -Скакавица-Сухия Рид-Бъбрека.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Пет дни по-късно в петък научавам, &lt;a href="http://www.express.bg/story/19055"&gt;че багери и тежкотоварни машини вилнеят и над хижа Пионерска ..в Националния Парк &lt;/a&gt;. и хайде обратно на Рила-  събота вечер...сме отново на Горна Земя. &lt;br /&gt;Вместо 3 МПС-та заварваме 30тина и други 30тина, които се не виждат. Преминаваме Арката, на която пише Национален Парк Рила и цап-царап след 5 мин стигаме до .....паркинг но. 2 където 13 МПСта се мъдрят като 13 пари в кесия. Играта загрубява, продължаваме по пато, който лека по лека се ширва и става двулентов - къде от пистата нагоре.... и играта продължава - Хитачи, жълтият багер и други техни дружки им се наложило да обръщат тук и там - обръщало, 1 брой, обръщало 2 броя - преди гората, след гората!! пътче тук,  пътче там - ПРЕЗ ГОРАТА....насечени.....&lt;br /&gt;Просека за лифта започва да се прокрадва къде посока връх Кабул. И още една. Ама защо разширяват пътя все пак?? Заради лифта ли? Хеликоптерите ли се свършиха, оценка за ОВОС ли се прави в Националния Парк, лифт ли строят? Мототуризъм ли се развива? Отводняване на реката даже има на места! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;На другата сутрин, вече по сред бял ден, почват да се суркат джипове надолу, джипове нагоре..., някои дружелюбно ни помахват и по туристически поздравяват...е брех какво стана няма ли да се събудя? Минава уазката...вътре се мярка жена с бели дрехи, а на гърба на това уникално МПС пише: &lt;br /&gt;"ТРАНСПОРТ РИЛСКИ ЕЗЕРА" &lt;br /&gt;- 088886xxxx- &lt;br /&gt;XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&lt;br /&gt;Днес и &lt;a href="http://savestrandja.ludost.net/"&gt;аз ще мина пред МС&lt;/a&gt;, събрала съм в една кристална купичка някоя жълта стотинка, даже имам  и бели стотинки, па и левчета ке дам бе бате, ама на КОГО?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;На кого, да бутна, за да се сопрат получовеците? А и маслото са си сменяли в движение - на жиповете и камиончетата . &lt;br /&gt;Вече ни предупреди ЕК-то за Натурата, ке ни глобяват, затуй &lt;a href="http://savestrandja.ludost.net/"&gt;да съберем за глобата&lt;/a&gt;. Ама за нарушения в Националните Паркове и Юнеско защитени обекти, гледам нищо - няма глова. Най-много МОСВ да удари една жица до администрацията на UNESCO, да уведоми че имало Юнеско heritage, ама минали хуните и сега вместо heritage, бетон, бетонов прах и дъх на бетон. банско. албанско. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ами я да се побутнем утре пред МСто, да видим първо сън ли е или наяве. Спим ли или сме будни. А другото само ке дойде. Има и снимки, вечерни, но в Никончо отлежават на лентата се залежават и 10кадри чакат. дано видя 10тина дружки да сипят стишки. до скоро.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-5685301507190068178?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/5685301507190068178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=5685301507190068178' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/5685301507190068178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/5685301507190068178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post_26.html' title='Рила ни е Мила'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqfTfFKa1BI/AAAAAAAAAIM/TW8pUoUFDsM/s72-c/hitachi.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-7357262712548202400</id><published>2007-07-21T13:43:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-09-13T16:03:06.927+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='български'/><title type='text'>Реакция</title><content type='html'>Петък вечер в София. Рядко събитие за мен. Успявам да се видя с моите стари дружки. Разказват ми за концерта на Rolling Stones, който аз реших да пропусна в последния момент. truly Рокенрол!&lt;br /&gt;Подхващаме темата за Странджа и протестите. Емоционални реакции, за което съжалявам. Разказваме с Иван хронологията на събитията. В общи линии основния въпрос е "какво предизвика промяната в Закона за защитените територии". &lt;br /&gt;Тома неверни (Кейти) не вярва , че 500 или 1000 човека са причината за тази промяна. Европейският съюз ще да е натиснал, няма как шепа хора да променят статуквото, казва Кейти, да не говорим че тая шепа хора освен туй изглежда несериозно, чети природозащитници - наркомани. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Започвам сериозно да се паля, защото чувам оценка "Тези хора, намират удовлетворение по този начин". Най-вече се засягам, защото има много хора които сигур мислят като Кейти..... Аз мога да говоря за себе си, тя Кейти туй го знае и сигур не е мен визирала, но аз ще кажа за мен, пък вие кажете за вас. Аз не търся удовлетворение от съмнителната победа. В личния си живот аз съм удовлетворена - вървя по пътя и търся истината, в това е цялото удоволствие от живота. За да отида на протест трябва да жертвам нещо друго - цената на едно нещо се измерва с това, от какво трябва да се откажеш, за да го получиш,  казва икономическата наука. Иска ми се да не се налага да излизам на улицата, ама както казва един приятел "лесно няма". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Има такова животно демокрация, до което няма да стигнем ако лежим по гръб и си казваме абе то България си е Абсурдистан, всичко е нагласено, всички протести завършват по един и същи начин и все си е старата кочина. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Нека си преразгледаме ценностите и да се борим за тях. Верно е Кейти, че аз съм малко нещо балък, наивник и оптимист, верно е че правя много грешки и гласувам за безумни партии. Ама като сбъркам си признавам. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;За да свършиш една работа трябва да я започнеш. За да постигнеш целта трябва да направиш първата стъпка. За да живеем по-добре трябва поискаме да живеем по-добре. За да сме информирани трябва да пием вода от извора. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Отивам на &lt;a href="http://www.express.bg/story/19055"&gt;Рила&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;PS И още веднъж се извинявам, че повишавам глас, ще се опитам да се не повтаря...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-7357262712548202400?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/7357262712548202400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=7357262712548202400' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/7357262712548202400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/7357262712548202400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post_21.html' title='Реакция'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-6088756709609909302</id><published>2007-07-20T15:40:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:43.454+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”</title><content type='html'>These words of Mahatma Gandi were quoted yesterday at a peaceful Meeting- Procession in Sofia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDlzqBYZ1I/AAAAAAAAAH0/TAa9K4YxS_s/s1600-h/tragvat2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDlzqBYZ1I/AAAAAAAAAH0/TAa9K4YxS_s/s320/tragvat2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089320254544832338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cause - Bulgarian Nature and Freedom of Speech provoked more than 1000 people to march the streets of Sofia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDWvKBYZlI/AAAAAAAAAF0/FdXME5o3EsM/s1600-h/priroda+poli.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDWvKBYZlI/AAAAAAAAAF0/FdXME5o3EsM/s320/priroda+poli.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089303684561004114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier the same day, the Parliament voted an &lt;a href="http://www.dnevnik.bg/show/?storyid=360643"&gt;ammendment to the law for Protected Teritorries&lt;/a&gt; by virtue of which the status of the Nature Park Strandja was protected. This &lt;a href="http://www.mediapool.bg/show/?storyid=130224"&gt;mixed&lt;/a&gt; victory was coupled with a rejection to restore the status of the "Kamchia Sands" protected zone, which was removed last year using &lt;a href="http://www.bluelink.net/np-campaign/c2_news.shtml?x=9746"&gt;the same technique &lt;/a&gt;as the "investors" used to challenge Strandja. &lt;br /&gt;Sounds like a confirmation to the information we heard that "Kamchia Sands" investors are very highly weaved within members of the Government.... Further rumors say that the resort planned to be built there is related to Mr. Luzhkov and Mr. Putin.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDV0aBYZkI/AAAAAAAAAFs/Yb7dmnmYdro/s1600-h/tapla.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDV0aBYZkI/AAAAAAAAAFs/Yb7dmnmYdro/s320/tapla.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089302675243689538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The formation of civil position on the most pressing problems in the country was evolving in the past 7-8 months. Last night the protesters rejected to be tagged any longer with the somewhat negletful "Natureprotectors" and reminded that they are on the street as citizens of the Republic of Bulgaria. They were forced to shout their position. The encroachment is not only upon nature, but also upon freedom of speech and democracy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDYb6BYZnI/AAAAAAAAAGE/fc81nzhsWhQ/s1600-h/Nachaloto.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDYb6BYZnI/AAAAAAAAAGE/fc81nzhsWhQ/s320/Nachaloto.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089305552871777906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of the marchers were having their mouths glued to underline their disagreement with the improper interference of CDFOC (Chief Directorate for Fight with Organized Crime) who has summoned one of the blogger , reporting about the civil actions related to Strandja. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDaf6BYZqI/AAAAAAAAAGc/wiqYCi3maBc/s1600-h/slovoto.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDaf6BYZqI/AAAAAAAAAGc/wiqYCi3maBc/s320/slovoto.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089307820614510242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The energy that's floating in these people has the potential to stop furter shameful practices in the country. Seems we are starting to outlive the slavery mindset, that nothing is in the hands of the individual. Strandja case is an illustrative example of the familiar quote "Ask and it will be given to you". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDmNqBYZ2I/AAAAAAAAAH8/LgOhjqZOKGs/s1600-h/energy.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDmNqBYZ2I/AAAAAAAAAH8/LgOhjqZOKGs/s320/energy.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089320701221431138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the &lt;a href="http://forthenature.org/places/"&gt;requested actions&lt;/a&gt; are: &lt;br /&gt;- Removal of the debris of the illegal construction of company Crash 2000 in Stranja Nature Park. "Kamchia Sands" to be restored as a protected area. &lt;br /&gt;- No new ski tracks and facilities in Rila National Park. The ones that applied for Enviromental Impact Assessment for Panichiste and peak Kabul to receive negative answer. &lt;br /&gt;The crowd asked several times for resignation...and has expressed committment to continue with the peaceful struggle until necessary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDjbaBYZzI/AAAAAAAAAHk/KKhbUgugou8/s1600-h/Ministyr+Pretsedatlia+e+Rusnak.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDjbaBYZzI/AAAAAAAAAHk/KKhbUgugou8/s320/Ministyr+Pretsedatlia+e+Rusnak.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089317638909749042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some faces and highlights of the day &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDdTKBYZtI/AAAAAAAAAG0/SL7HMl7mjEU/s1600-h/kucheta+i+hora.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDdTKBYZtI/AAAAAAAAAG0/SL7HMl7mjEU/s320/kucheta+i+hora.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089310900106061522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Representative of the "retired people for solidarity" showed their appreciation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDhzqBYZwI/AAAAAAAAAHM/ZkQp1XDIfEM/s1600-h/pensioneri.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDhzqBYZwI/AAAAAAAAAHM/ZkQp1XDIfEM/s320/pensioneri.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089315856498321154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE HAVE FAITH AND HOPE IN TODAYS YOUTH THAT WE SHALL REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND START TO FIGHT AND DREAM AGAIN. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another 3rd age lady is slightly more entrepreneuriual:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDi7qBYZxI/AAAAAAAAAHU/2j55hr8Eu1U/s1600-h/Predpriemach.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDi7qBYZxI/AAAAAAAAAHU/2j55hr8Eu1U/s320/Predpriemach.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089317093448902418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the youngest participants are already dreaming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDjM6BYZyI/AAAAAAAAAHc/LuJYhGATnBI/s1600-h/Nai+malkite.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RqDjM6BYZyI/AAAAAAAAAHc/LuJYhGATnBI/s320/Nai+malkite.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089317389801645858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion - we say out loud WE ARE CONSCIOUS OF THE VIOLATIONS AND CRIME.

A brief in English.</title><content type='html'>For the sake of updating Non Bulgarian speaking readers this post is in English. &lt;br /&gt;This 7th month of the 7th year of the 2nd milennium is very hot in Bulgaria. Ambient temperatures marking record levels across the country coupled with citizens waking up from a long sleep and expressing their position on the street. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strandzha"&gt;Strandzha&lt;/a&gt; is what urged people to stand up. &lt;br /&gt;The short story is a &lt;a href="http://evropa.dnevnik.bg/show/?storyid=313599"&gt;"Company Crash 2000 "&lt;/a&gt; together with the local Mayor tried to use a loophole in the system and appealed in court the existance of the Nature Park Strandzha. They almost reached their goal with the Decision of the Supreme Administrative Court from June 29th, which announced the park for non-existing, due to its boundaries being not defined. The wave of &lt;a href="http://tropot.net/photoblog/"&gt;flash mobs&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/07/40707.html"&gt;peaceful protests &lt;/a&gt;led to a very quick political response. Тhis Friday, the 13th,  an ammendment to the Law for Protected Areas was voted at first hearing in Parliament. By virtue of this ammendment no appeal of an order proclaiming a land for protected area is allowed.&lt;br /&gt;This is quite an extreme protection achieved only after 2 weeks post the Supreme Court Decision. &lt;br /&gt;Somehow we come to ask the question, how on Earth our politicians, unable for 2 months to agree upon the election of 2 new Ministers to replace the 2 resigned following corruption scandals, were able to organize in short time and vote with almost full majority??!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is very simple:  Our lovely politicians are scared big time! The energy which is now loose on the street is the nightmare of every government, escpecially of one that has failed to do much apart from fulfilling the interests of its members and its sponsors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as we know, fear is not a good ally. The government freaked out as it was reported to summon in the Police bloggers writing about Strandzha events. &lt;a href="http://www.optimiced.com/bg/"&gt;Mishel&lt;/a&gt; had to answer questions regarding his posts and asked to sign a Protocol of Warning that he will restrain of publishing content provoking illegal civil protests....&lt;br /&gt;The investigation is led by ГДБОП - "The Chief Directorate for fight against the organized crime"  - wow!! The purpose of the Directorate is to sort out things like drug dealing, murders and other crime of that size....interesting usage of this resource....&lt;br /&gt;A massive reaction has been seen in the blogspehere and internet during the weekend. Are we in China or this is this the year 1987 is some of the hundreds of comments in the net. &lt;br /&gt;Main result of the Strandzha affair is people start to remember their power.&lt;br /&gt;The last action from Friday was requesting immediate cleaning of the illegal building from Strandzha park and stop of the illegal digging works in Rila Park. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things have gone too far, following the attempt of few to make money while demolishing endagered species and unique nature, we now are in a situation where the government attempted to question the freedom of speech. &lt;br /&gt;They will have to pay the price. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evgenidinev.com/seen_in_my_camera/strandzha/"&gt;Strandzha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. One of the many reactions &lt;a href="http://semkiibonbonki.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post.html"&gt;http://semkiibonbonki.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post.html&lt;/a&gt; (in Bulgarian)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-2756246046349160217?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/2756246046349160217/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=2756246046349160217' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/2756246046349160217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/2756246046349160217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/07/brief-in-english-key-word-strandzha.html' title='Strandzha and the Freedom of Speech.

Къде ли бяха вчера Алексей Лазаров и Петър Табов, които написаха &lt;a href="http://www.capital.bg/show.php?storyid=216473"&gt;брилятната статия за пешебегачите и пресичането чрез тумбене &lt;/a&gt;в Капитал през 2002 година да видят истински пешеходци, които ходят бавно с достойнство и усмивка(ако нямате достъп вземете sms абонамент cap на номер 1923 ден -1.20лв яка статия струва си). &lt;br /&gt;Симпатични тинейджъри които с удоволствие пресичат  напред назад питат, ама за какво е това цялото нещо? Ами за Странджа казвам, за Природния парк, за да остане. &lt;br /&gt;Покрай защитниците на Странджа, пешеходците, които са тръгнали от точка А до то точка Б се чудят бре каква стана тя днес - няма нужда да чакаме критична маса да се тумбим, за да пресечем - изведнъж на пешеходната се е материализирал необходимия брой пешеходци, за да си пресичаш на воля във всички посоки на най-абсурдното кръгово кръстовище в София. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Руски Паметник 7:15pm &lt;/strong&gt;На изток, на запад, на север и на юг докле ти стига взора празни булеварди. Останахме си да си пресичаме заедно с нашите мили приятели куките, които ни правиха кордони, та чак се почуствах като ученик на екскурзия в друг град. Стана време да продължим по пътя си. До следващата среща на някоя пешеходна, защо да не посетим паметника на Апостола?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bTV 10:00pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Първия анонс - отзвук от Руски паметник, ?! имайки предвид, че новината на деня е постигнато споразумение с фондация "Кадафи". Събитието от Руски Паметник беше отразено доста обективно, с изключение на финалното послание. Не можело видите ли да се реши проблема с защитата на Природен Парк Странджа до есента, когато щяла да се заседава 5-членката на ВАС. Е, пък на това му се вика баш дезинформация, елегантно подадена на зрителите в небрежно изречение утвърждаващо интересите на "инвеститорите". Все пак ще припомня, че единственото необходимо за да се спре играта на "тука има тука нема защитена територия "е добавяне на Приложение No. 1 към закона за защитените територии, с което ще се прекратят всякакви домогвания и удари под кръста от страна на "инвеститорите". (под инвеститори разбирай бизнесмени, подобни на ония, които като влязат в заведение се препоръчва на клиентите да си бегат, не помня кой беше с тази крилата фраза ББ или СС) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bTV-то стигна по далеч в подкрепа на "инвеститорите", излъчвайки изказването на някаква така наречена публична личност, за мен световно неизвестен, който сподели че с протестите и удовлетворяване исканията на улицата се създавал опасен прецедент, който щял да изгони европейските инвеститори,защото видите ли тук хората си търсят и получават правата на улицата. no comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;това е обстановката в България днес 11.07.07. &lt;br /&gt;от тук нататък следва да тръгнем по разклонението , което води до създаване на споменатото приложение в закона. Струва ми се че топката се сурна по склона и набира скорост, тъй че очаквайте още критична маса тук и там, за да вдигне платното на кораба България и да я спусне по вода. Стига бетон. Имало едно време някаква си коалиция рак, щука и сокол която плувала в бетона с едно малко бетоновозче, шофьорът - някакъв младеж, май беше гадже на на Елена Йончева, върти волана наляво надясно наляво на дясно и така по кръговото. Брех не било кръгово най ми било пустинен остров от бетон, където се заселили бетонобъркачите, царедворците и царя и щастливо доживели края на дните си ловейки риба на конец (за целта се наложило да си разплетат я чорапи я пуловер, кой каквото имал). Соколчето успяло да се измъкне разпервайки криле и да стигне сушата, но свършило и времето на сокола. 18 години ДПС ООД стигат. &lt;br /&gt;Звучи ви като фентъзи? Фантастиката рано или късно се сбъдва, включително матрицата. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RpUxX2TijpI/AAAAAAAAAFM/kq8afARXTB4/s1600-h/Strandja+eye.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RpUxX2TijpI/AAAAAAAAAFM/kq8afARXTB4/s320/Strandja+eye.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086025639969066642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Странджа&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-6810124522454729910?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/6810124522454729910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=6810124522454729910' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6810124522454729910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6810124522454729910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post_11.html' title='Отзвук от Руски Паметник'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GuQMX4mIvH4/RpUxX2TijpI/AAAAAAAAAFM/kq8afARXTB4/s72-c/Strandja+eye.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-3819438565190345275</id><published>2007-07-05T17:34:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:59:49.421+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='български'/><title type='text'>В защита на Природен Парк Странджа 4.07.07</title><content type='html'>Ето че и моите филми от вчерашната акция на мавзолея са проявени и дигитализирани.

Кратко въведение - Зеланд нарича "махало" енергоинформационна структура породена от енергийните вълни на група хора, които мислят в една насока. Тези енергийни вълни се наслагват и придобиват независим живот от хората които ги пораждат. Махалата се хранят с енергия - позитивна и негативна.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Обърнете внимание, казва Зеланд, на демонстрациите и митингите, където хората яростно протестират срещу военните действия. За махалото, което се опитва да подхване бой със своя противник, те са също толкова предани и желани привърженици, както и поддръжниците на битката. Активният протест е истинско поддържане на войната, макар наивните привърженици да са убедени в обратното. &lt;u&gt;Миролюбивите предложения и разкриването на истинското лице и мотиви на махалото са действията, които провалят войната.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;По този повод подкрепям идеята утрешния протест да е миролюбив и затова нека изразим подкрепата си за Странджа и за природата в България, като се настроим позитивно, убедени  в правотата си и нека плакатите са насочени към разкриване на истинското лице и мотиви на инвеститорите. Задачата определено не е никак трудна, тъй като тези сладури въобще не се прикриват, толкова са нагли, че чак името им значи "сблъсък". (crash). Арестите доведоха до публичност, тъй че сега остава да разширим кръга на позитивната енергия. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ето и нещо за вдъхновение, което стигна до мен благодарение на календара на &lt;a href="http://www.bbf.biodiversity.bg/"&gt;Българска фондация БИОРАЗНООБРАЗИЕ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Чудната планина &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Има чудна планина&lt;br /&gt;Странджа се нарича тя.&lt;br /&gt;Тук в поточета бистри&lt;br /&gt;С камъчета лъчисти,&lt;br /&gt;Бягат чак от планината&lt;br /&gt;Слизат долу в равнината&lt;br /&gt;И по детски те игриво&lt;br /&gt;Спират до морето живо...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Йоана Томова. 2ри клас&lt;br /&gt;НБУ "Михаил Лакатник" - Бургас&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Още по темата:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.optimiced.com/bg/"&gt;http://www.optimiced.com/bg/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nabludatel.blogspot.com/2007/07/20.html"&gt;http://nabludatel.blogspot.com/2007/07/20.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bulgaria.indymedia.org/newswire/display/16936/index.php"&gt;http://bulgaria.indymedia.org/newswire/display/16936/index.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Арт снимки - черно и бяло &lt;a href="http://tropot.net/photoblog/"&gt;http://tropot.net/photoblog/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-6566626776040452569?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/6566626776040452569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=6566626776040452569' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6566626776040452569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/6566626776040452569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post.html' title='За Странджа и протестите'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-115764983257919115</id><published>2006-09-07T20:01:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-09-13T16:03:56.876+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>California as seen by one Bulgarian</title><content type='html'>There is one place in the US, which makes the whole trip worthwile. Its citizens are more "European", than Europeans. At least when it comes to sustainability and environmental protection.&lt;br /&gt;California, eden on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heading to the US I felt the usual reluctance - 2 weeks in the most consumeristic country in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Houston confirmed my expectations and memories with its 6 lane highways in one direction, enormous trucks instead of cars, chemical releases in the atmosphere, diesel locomotives pouring smoke, smell and puritan behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the second week I landed at San Fransicso International Airport....and the world changed. We had lunch in a small old school fish restaurant, plastic was not tolerated even as a means of payment. The nature on the ocean shores looked wild and untouched...pelicans, cormorans and a sense of universal peace and harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a different feeling it is to be surrounded by people that care of the environment, to be able to buy goods that have been produced using green energy and to use green energy for daily needs. I was visiting friends of mine who live in Palo Alto and like most Palo Altoians consume green energy. Another feature of the citizens of Palo is their strivings towards zero waste goal. On the contrary of Sofia zero waste program, where probably less than 1% of Sofia's population know of the existance of a program, the Palo Alto program has realistic chances of successful achievement of the goal. Palo Altoians have surpassed the state mandate to divert 50% of landfill waste, by diverting 62% in 2004. In 2005 they have adopted the zero waste goal and they are aiming at 73% diversion in 2011 and 93% in 2021.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Sofia has been reviewing options for separate collection of recycables in the past 10 years and is trying to locate a place where to dump its daily tons of garbage, Palo Altoians found that separate collection of glass, plastic and paper is outfashioned and is not serving the purpose, so now all recycables are collected in one box and that has tremendously increased the percentage of recyclables collection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palo Alto has a remarkable recycling program &lt;a href="http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/public-works/rec-recyc-index.html"&gt;http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/public-works/rec-recyc-index.html&lt;/a&gt;. Detailed analysis of waste is carried on, investigating the percentage of recyclables into landfill stream and urging citizens for more reasonable behaviour for placing the goods that can be recycled at the proper place. This web site provides sufficient information on what can be recycled and where a recycling center is available. Regarding non recycables a question is raised how to we eliminate those from the garbage stream and the natural answer is by Critical Consumption. If we are conscious when purchasing of what the leftovers will be, there will be no issue with waste when the item is consumed. Flex your consumer muscle - give preference to items that are recycable or compostable when making a purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no single person I have met in California that was not involved in someway.&lt;br /&gt;...a 50year old woman, hostess of a mountain retreat informed us that having a fire in the fireplace is not good for the environment, because of the smoke. She asked us if we have ever been in a place, where all the houses use wood for heating. Yes, I have been - every small village in Bulgaria uses wood in simple heaters. Wood takes almost 30% share of the heating in Bulgaria, higher than central heating. Although I think the woman was exagarating the harm , the Bulgarian situation is ages away. At a recent biomass conference the above data was proudly presented by Government officials as a good trend into inclreasing use of biomass in the country. They did not care that this biomass is burnt with very low efficiency or what its origin is and if there is control in cutting wood.&lt;br /&gt;...the same woman suggested that people that come to the retreat co-share their cars to reduce gasoline usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....The people with backyards had a compost, the people living in apartments (my friends) were carrying their organic waste in a garden where my friend is the Master Gardener. The harvest from the garden is used as the source of food for 2 organic restaurants in Palo Alto alongside with being a learning garden, where kids can be educated (&lt;a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2006/june7/garden-060706.html"&gt;http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2006/june7/garden-060706.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a Saturday you can go to the farmers market, fresh fruits and vegetables sold directly by the farmers on the same morning or the previous night. Kind, good people - the farmers themselves selling their products, polite with a smile, offering you to taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, generalizations about America being the consumeristic heaven are not exactly right, as there places where both candidates for governor have to be green if they want to have a chance of winning.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-115764983257919115?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/115764983257919115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=115764983257919115' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/115764983257919115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/115764983257919115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2006/09/california-as-seen-by-one-bulgarian.html' title='California as seen by one Bulgarian'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-115386053937675375</id><published>2006-07-25T23:48:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-09-13T16:06:45.649+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Healthy Meal in Sofia</title><content type='html'>- And for you Sir, would you like a drink?&lt;br /&gt;- Diet coke, please.&lt;br /&gt;- I am sorry we have no diet coke. It is not healthy for you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find this conversation entertaining you have the first reason to visit Kibea Restaurant in Sofia, the healthy food restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kibea.net/en/restaurant/index.php"&gt;http://www.kibea.net/en/restaurant/index.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling hungry and exhaust I left home with the intention to dine. The thought of the next door pizzeria with lousy food and tiny yard full of shouting smokers, made me walk a few blocks further. I was passing by restaurants and cafes, but none of them attracted my attention, most of them resembling the pizzeria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thought of nice food made me think of Kibea, where I never was before, as rarely I was lucky to be with entirely non-smoking company. This time being alone I had that condition met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My clothing was really lay-down, (read shabby), so that in order to feel comfortable of going there alone, I said to myself that they would never know if I am not one of those critics writing articles, so most likely they would behave. The staff was so amicable though, that I think even my shyest friends would feel cozy there. I hope. The atmosphere was not extremely unique, but was nice, bright and comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A recent vegetarian, last meat course being my mom’s turkey for Christmas, I haven’t followed any direction in my meals in the past few months, so reading the menu showed me that my diet can definitely be more balanced and diverse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The delicious meal I had, consisted of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Seared goat cheese garnished with Bluberry Relish and Arugula salad with Alfaalfa Sprouts&lt;br /&gt;- Zuccini and wall nuts puree soup&lt;br /&gt;- Risoto with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh vegetables and olives&lt;br /&gt;- Mursalski cai – herbal tea from the Pirin mountain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This meal was what inspired me to write this blog and made me feel energy again in my veins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To add a few more, as this article shaped as a restaurant critique – the wine list and music were profound, with wine prices starting at 24 lv for Shataut due Val.&lt;br /&gt;Music – Buena vista mood and after 9pm coupled with candles and more quiet lamps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to finish with a note that unfortunately becomes an issue at other places. The selection of mineral water was Devin in glass bottles. Тhis really made me content as in other places it happened that you ask for mineral water and instead you are given sth called Savina, which represents water created using "state of the art technology of reverse osmosis" (as marked on the label).

Тheir eyes are blinded by the brand of "Trud" and the sign below says "Copyrighted".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full story and details in Bulgarian can be read at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gatchev.info/blog/?p=284"&gt;http://www.gatchev.info/blog/?p=284&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://protest.bloghub.org/"&gt;http://protest.bloghub.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the main points are that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) PB Trud has failed to note that Bulgarian regulation has been thoughtful enough to allow dissemination of literature with non commercial purpose, (Law for Author’s right and related rights (LARRR), article 24, para 1 and even further LARR, art. 24, para 2 protects free dissemination of literature for the blind people.&lt;br /&gt;2) It is not clear if PB Trud is at all in possession of the authors rights of some of the works in question, for example Angel Karaliichev “Peoples Tales” are gathered works, therefore even Angel Karaliichev right on them is not fully clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The claim made by PH Trud is without any legal ground, its justification and language used in communication memo are absolutely not acceptable and are not truthful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bulgarian authors in question are some of pillars of the Bulgarian literature and in their works they have been fighting injustice and have defended the poor and disadvantaged people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PH Trud completely misses the point that one blind person has made the utmost effort to provide access for blind people to literature and this is an act only to be admired and supported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suggestion of PH Trud to &lt;a href="http://bezmonitor.com/"&gt;http://bezmonitor.com/&lt;/a&gt; to remove the content in question and instead provide a link to PH Trud’s web place for blind is shameful as it limits the access to information with education purposes to one box in the internet and second due to the fact that znam.bg is a web site with paid subscription is a request to the free &lt;a href="http://bezmonitor.com/"&gt;http://bezmonitor.com/&lt;/a&gt; to advertise the paid products of PH Trud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion herewith I would like to express my support to the boycott campaign against PB Trud. The actions I would undertake are the following :&lt;br /&gt;- boycott the purchase of newspapers published within the group of PB Trud&lt;br /&gt;- boycott the purchase of the books published by PB Trud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further to the above actions, I undertake to inform the members of Open Mind organization of the boycott and also the participants of the International Study Visit in the framework of the European Commission – “Youth” Programme – Study Visit “Youth Participation and Critical Consumption:sharing ideas for a responsible life-style”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-114906208053261224?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/114906208053261224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=114906208053261224' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/114906208053261224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/114906208053261224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2006/05/boycott-on-publishing-house-trud.html' title='Boycott on Publishing House Trud'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-114906204341416200</id><published>2006-05-31T10:53:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-09-13T16:08:06.807+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Some feedback of the results of the seminar</title><content type='html'>CC=CC&lt;br /&gt;Critical Consumption equals Conscious Choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This formula expresses in short the definitions created during the seminar in the framework of YOUTH program of the EC this February in Sofia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Critical Consumption is a responsible and ethical choice of tools and behaviors in front of the earth and humanity for a fair and sustainable life;&lt;br /&gt;- Having common ethics on global health and human rights we feel responsible of the impact of our consumption choices;&lt;br /&gt;- Critical consumption is a conscious choice for overcoming illusionary needs;&lt;br /&gt;- Critical consumption is a conscious responsible behavior towards yourself, others and the nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else has been achieved during the seminar?

How many people, base their choices mainly on financial or brand criteria or consume only because are influenced by an intrusive advertisement?&lt;br /&gt;Why is not “ethical” or “critical” consumption a natural choice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reasons are many…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Are we indeed consciousness beings? How many things we do, are done because we follow a certain pattern, automatically, subconsiously learnt? If we study ourselves we might find that the reasons why we drive our car to go to the shop or the fact we take the plastic bag graciously given by the shop-attendant do not include at all consideration about the impact on nature. Not necessarily does this mean that we do not care about nature…sometimes we simply have not thought about the side effect of our activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another common reason for rejection is people do not believe that "critical" or "ethical" consumption could lead to meaningful result due to the negligibly small impact of each of us over the “entire” world. Many people would think critical consumption is nice, but they claim is inefficient and useless due the difficulty to involve a critical mass in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However a simple way to defend the contra thesis is if we draw a parallel to political elections and voting. During election campaigns, there is significant investment from the elite, advertising to citizens the importance of each individual vote. The results of an election are a visual example of the impact of combined effect of individual behaviors…then why is so difficult to accept the fact that if 60% of dog owners start to clean the shit after their dogs there will be at least 50% less shit on the street. (accounting for street dogs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There others who entirely reject critical consumption. It is their understanding that the state and municipalities have to regulate environmental and ethical issues. They do not want to invest time, money and efforts in critical consumption. They are convinced that their social responsibilities end when they pay their taxes if they do. It will be a long way to get these folks involved, but lets try to change ourselfes first....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog is trying to aggregate reasons why individual choice matters and to help critical consumers in their behaviour through providing useful information. Comments on how we do it are more than welcome!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19824330-113794505143560030?l=criticalconsumer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/feeds/113794505143560030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19824330&amp;postID=113794505143560030' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/113794505143560030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19824330/posts/default/113794505143560030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://criticalconsumer.blogspot.com/2006/01/why-critical-consumption-is-not-common.html' title='Why critical consumption is not a common consumer behaviour?'/><author><name>tabasa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14087034992027225755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/100/9045/640/tabi.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824330.post-113794299089533828</id><published>2006-01-22T17:12:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-01-26T16:54:29.836+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Public Debate at the Red House</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;February 8 (Wednesday), 6.00 p.m. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Red House Centre for Culture and Debate, Red hall&lt;br /&gt;Buy Nothing Day- special Bulgarian edition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Critical consumption – real impact or still a dream?
