It looks like it is going to be a hot summer of transnational gatherings and transnational action. So whether you jump on your bike, the bus or train crossing borders to put up your tent or roll out your sleeping bag elsewhere (those priviliged to cross borders, that is), or whether you stay in your neighborhood and bring global matters to the forefront in your locality, there sure is no need to get bored the coming months. See on Global Matters.

You may have noticed an absence of Network News for May... with project deadlines looming and hosting the annual Eclectic Tech carnival in Amsterdam (eclectictechcarnival.org), our hands were full. But, with organization of our Ecotopia 'Alternative Energies' meeting in Turkey now well underway, we would like to focus on the ongoing activities against Nuclear power. See on Nuclear Power.

EYFA has been using this alternative 'currency' model called Ecorates in different projects for several years now. What a small amount is for a person coming from one country can be too much for the person coming from another country. Every year EYFA makes a table that can be used as a tool to calculate a price that is more fair for the both of them. This table is onwards used by many other grassroots groups/organizations. BUT we need your help with this.

On the occasion of the Chernobyl disaster anniversary, the French pressure group « Sortir du nucléaire » highly encourage you to take part in the international action day.

Reactor No 4 at Chernobyl exploded on April 26th 1986, 22 years ago. That day, the biggest technological and industrial disaster the world has ever known began. Chernobyl keeps claiming victims nowadays : its irreversible and catastrophic impact on health (cancers, multiple organ failures, mutations...) will affect generations to come.
