110102 Vandana Shiva - Time to end the War Against the Earth

The global financial debacle has drowned out coverage of the rise in food prices. There are billion-dollar bailouts for banks while the poor go hungry. A billion people around the world face food insecurity. Advocates of corporate driven globalization are like the missionaries of old. Convinced of their righteousness, they are full of good intentions to save the world. Instead of bibles they are waving so-called free trade agreements. The gospel they preach is, Open your markets. Let us in. The planet is fast moving toward a choice-continue with rapacious predatory capitalism or develop a system of cooperation and collective action that protects the environment and prioritizes people before profits.

Vandana Shiva is an internationally renowned voice for sustainable development and social justice. A physicist, scholar, political activist and feminist, she is Director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Natural Resource Policy in New Delhi . She's the recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, the alternative Nobel Prize. Author of many books, her latest are Earth Democracy and Soil Not Oil. She was the recipient of the 2010 Sydney Peace Prize awarded in November 2010. The Sydney peace Foundation Chairperson, Mary Kostakidis said, "Vandana Shiva's work highlights the fundamental connection between human rights and the protection of the environment. She offers solutions to some of the most critical problems posed by the effects of globalisation and climate change on the poorest and most populous nations".
