Take Aim... at climate change
"why should i care whats going there/why does ice and wildlife mean to my life" she asks
"See thats the catch,, its not all that obvious but changes in the north and south is gonna have an affect on all of us" the rapper replied.
This reminds me of the Black Eyed Peas song 'where is the love?' when it first come out- As annoying as it eventually became it got the message out to a mass audience that this world was, and still is in a messed up state. This time however it is climate change that is in the firing line- a subject that by large hasn't been tackled by the Hip Hoppers of this world yet.
But as actions by Direct Action groups Plane Stupid and Climate Rush will suggest, it is one of the main problems in the world today.
The eradiication of poverty in this world is insignificant if Climate Change is not taken seriously, because there wont be a Third world to worry about, there wont be any world!

Dr Congo needs you
Heres a video of an article that I wrote for CtrlAltShift called 'Congo Crisis'. It is so important to see whats happening to these people in the context of the UK, because hearing about rape, displacement, poverty and corruption is all to easy to palm off when its in a developing country, but these people being affected by it are just like you, me or anyone else that matter... the difference being we are lucky enough to be in the west of the world.
