"GreenCapitalism!" How it can save our planet.	by Keith Mcilroy July 19, 2011	10191 words	Read a sample
Author bio: My journey to Green-Capitalism "there is no need for there to be a 'loser' between economic growth and environmental protection" I have spent most of my professional life identifying the need for change in organisations then helping those organisations to make those changes. From turning around insolvent companies and integrating corporate acquisitions through to culture change programs on factory floors and in sales teams. Like most people deeply involved in business, my focus was on this quarter's profit, this month's sales, this week's cash flow. I paid scant regard to what was happening in the rest of the world, especially anything vaguely environmental. This started to change when my family flew into Manchester airport in 2000 to join me in the UK. It was raining. Hardly surprising for Manchester. Over the next few months it continued to rain and there was more and more discussion on climate change. At the time I dismissed this, along with 'peak oil' and 'global warming', as fear mongering from people who should get a 'proper job'. Then in April 2001, it was announced that the previous 12 months had been the wettest in the UK since records began. And records began in the 17th Century. That caused me to wonder a wee bit. But only for a bit as I soon went back to my insular business world and stayed there, even when we returned to Australia to find ourselves in the middle of the 'hundred year drought'. Then, in 2003 The Business Council of Australia invited me to join their working group that was preparing a range of scenarios for Australia in 20 years time. 'Aspire Australia 2025' was put together over 12 months by running workshops with seventy of the leading thinkers in Australia. We looked at every aspect of life in Australia. Our competitiveness, strategic defence, values and norms, our governance and our sustainability. That experience triggered the start of my journey. A journey that was initially focussed on climate change for the more that I researched the arguments for and against, the more I came to the conclusion that this was a 'clear and present threat' to our quality of life. It also quickly became clear that, until the business community took the risk seriously, then we would always struggle to make the changes needed to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. And here was where the nub of the problem was. Business had great difficulty seeing how we could both, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and also maintain the economic growth that is so fundamental to their business success. In the same way that business saw the 20th Century as a battle between labour and capital, many now saw the 21st Century as being a battle between economic growth and environmental protection. Yet, there was no real 'loser' in the battle between labour and capital, so there is no need for there to be a 'loser' between economic growth and environmental protection. Hence my promotion of Green-Capitalism. I write, I speak and I present on how we can have our cake and eat it too. For those promoters of environmental protection who are cynical of capitalism, I would ask you to remember that capitalism has dragged millions of people around the world out of the miserable existence so well documented by Charles Dickens and that capitalism, properly motivated, can achieve rapid change in society. For the promoters of economic growth who see environmentalists as a threat to our prosperity, I would ask you recognise we live on a planet of finite resources with a delicate ecosystem. The sooner we modify our business practices to use renewable resources without unnecessarily damaging our ecosystem, the more confident we can be that our prosperity can continue for our kids and grandkids.

Author bio: My name is Reuben Weber. I was born in Vienna, Austria on April 13, 1656. I am the owner and proprietor of the "Green Dragon" inn on 921 Canon Lane.

And finally, Johann 'Pach' Pachelbel in 1694 age 15 at the time. These tales are exciting and often times endearing, I really think you will like them if you just give them a chance.

'I want ice cream!' (Snippets)	by David Elvar April 21, 2011	1011 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Who am I? A children's author. I cover all market sectors from those aimed at the very young (often to be read to them) up to the Young Adult market. All my books slot into specific imprints according to length and target audience. As follows... Snippets - Shorter books aimed at younger readers or adults looking for something to read to them at bedtime. BratReads - No, not books for brats, books that are themselves a little brat-ish. By turns, funny, awkward, anarchic or just a little thoughtful. TeenReads - As the name implies, books for teenagers. Adventurous and rebellious. Next in the series: 'No, Papa'. Interludes - A series of short books aimed at the Young Adult/Crossover audience. Mystical, mysterious and sometimes a little scary, you might want to read these with the light on. Tales of the Night - Full length ghost stories for the YA/Crossover market. Next in the series: 'Heretic'. Shona Madoc - She's young, she's blonde and she's a little spitfire when riled. If that isn't enough to make you keep your distance, she's also a medium. Next in the series: 'Congregation'. Anything not included in the above is a stand-alone novel for the YA/Crossover market. One title so far - 'Continuum' - to be followed by 'Mount 37', a dystopian novel set in the uncomfortably near future. All my books subject to translation can now be found here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/boglebooks/authors#published As for me on a personal level, I'm English born and bred, now living in Denmark.

Celeste shrugs this off, aims her TV remote, and tunes in another telenovela. * * * Time for writing or not, she rarely lacks for stories -- a trait, she points out, that she shares with other habitual liars. "Can you imagine if Dick Nixon had written fiction?" smiles Celeste: "I promise to tell the Half Truth, the Twisted Truth, and nothing resembling the Truth." * * * Pressed about the unlikely likeness of her publicity photo, she mumbles something inaudible about the British Museum, face lifts, and "what's a girl to do?" * * * In pursuit of her promise to write longer fiction one day, must her ravenous appetite for C movies, hush puppies and libidinous living be curtailed? "I have often worried that advancing age might trim my sails," muses Ms. Drolle. "Lordy, how mistaken can a body can be?"

...to be or not to be?.	by D N Maphosa Aug. 26, 2010	1965 words	Read a sample
Author bio: While forgiveness has healed wounds in some circumstances, silence over an issue that need serious attention cannot amount to forgiveness. We must express our long held concerns through legal channels (International Court of Justice comes in handy) and come up with a solution. While compensation (monetary) in itself cannot make up for some of the losses, it would show a sense of responsibility on the part of loss-creator. We cannot continue shying away from sensitive issues, including the demand for reparation, nor can we get tired until what is possible has been done to heal the wounds inflicted by the colonial powers and Mugabeâ€™s regime. The duty of a leader is to effectively represent those he owes power. If he cannot do that, he is not worth his salt. Robert Gabriel Mugabe has let us down... We remain with the burden of representing our people internationally. If we cannot stand up for what is rightfully ours, how can we contribute effectively to making decisions affecting the entire world? We have to perform our local and international duties as is expected of us and Zimbabwe will have its rightful share of international respect. Lingering effects of colonialism and Gukurahundi are the most common factors, primary causes of Zimbabwean challenges. There are unfinished transitions due to lack of leadership and failure to let go of the past has added to this in Zimbabwe. Transition is the time between an ending of status quo and a new beginning. It is the time required to establish a new state/system or to create an environment that fosters a new way of thinking. It is the time required for psychological reorientation. The danger of not differentiating the modified old and the real new is that we end up with incomplete or delayed transition.
