[user123]

Some of you may want to, too? Thanks for looking Oh, for those of you who aren't sure about avaaz, it's a very good, solid organisation to help get ordinary folks' voices heard. It helped stop woodlands being sold...

Avaaz - EU: 3 DAYS TO SAVE HERBAL MEDICINE!

 

[Ajax123]

Why would you want to stop Woodlands being sold? forgive my ignorance...

 

[user123]

Hitherto acres and acres of protected woodland being sold to private investors...nightmare, well I am glad that one got thrown out, aren't you? Before the tinmines, England was covered in forest, hard to imagine now, but we need our woods, what is left of them, to be there safe for future generations... Not all private investors would have cared enough not to turn that land into housing estates or whatever.. a big subject where luckily there was a just outcome.

Oh really? I support them, here and there.. brilliant, Andrew! Even got their sticker on my office window for all visitors to see.. They do great work. But this petition is about herbal medicine... even though personally I do nto believe that this particular legislation is as heavy as it may seem at first, it is one of those foot in the door approaches... herbalism must be allowed to continue... who knows if our survival will depend on it one day? How many of us would still recognize food or medical plants in our woods? So the international question is just really an extention of that, we are all of the same planet, and nature is a wonderful provider, as long as we care for it. Woodland trust, eh? Brilliant

Ehm, that's lovely, but the woodlands was a previous and successful petition, this one is about the freedom with regards to herbal medicine? But if you do cycle through the woods, do collect yourself some clivers - the tea helps you sleep and clean the liver and all sorts of good things...

 

[hillhead]

I know Gisela it's about the medicine, the big pharmaceutical companies have us stitched up.
Even the animal medicine companies are rip off merchants too.
There is times i wish i lived on a deserted island with food, natural medicines, no bills, plenty of food and a few women maybe ,lol.
Easy life eh, a good bike trail too maybe.
I'd have to brew my own beer too unless......... carlsberg.lol

 

[user123]

Ay, Joe.... I'd have a few guys instead... :lol: but apart from that, I can relate!
