Such a body is needed in the short term to fight again the impunity enjoyed by major emitters of climate-changing gases, said experts and activists at the People's World Conference on Climate Change and Mother Earth Rights, held this week in Cochabamba.

organic cows have never had mad cow disease ever in hitrosy.. makes one think doesn't it)To answer your question:I think going green helps our own immune systems, it prevents sicknesses/illnesses (created by chemical super bugs) is important to all around health well-being It also helps the environment (present and future) by reducing pollution, toxicity (airborne, ground, and water) less chemical waste, less waste in general which even if you're not a green person should make sense just based on fact and logic alone As we strive to protect the environment we should also look at protecting ourselves and family because we all know the Government and Health System doesn't!!! (they allow chemicals in our toothpaste, shampoos, etc that have been scientifically linked to cancer like parabens and their regulations allow foods and products with no long term tests to enter our stores and shelves like GMO's) This not only helps us but if we say no to things like this the environment will also reap the benefits
