Lebensmittelverschwendung - Her mit den krummen Gurken!
Lebensmittel gibt es in Deutschland im Überfluss: Millionen Tonnen Brot, Obst, Fleisch und Milchprodukte landen jedes Jahr im Müll. Immer mehr Menschen halten das für untragbar - und einige tun etwas dagegen. Info
"Milch? Milch kommt aus der Fabrik." Solche Antworten bekommt Wam Kat nicht selten zu hören, wenn er mit "seinen" Hauptschülern in den sozialen Brennpunkten deutscher Großstädte zusammen kocht. Fragt er dann nach, woher wohl die Fabrik das weiße Zeug beziehe, heißt es: "Die machen die halt."

Germany has the economic strengths America once boasted
Germany with its manufacturing base and export prowess is the U.S. of yesteryear, an economic power unlike any of its European neighbors. It has thrived on principles America seems to have lost.
Every summer, Volkmar and Vera Kruger spend three weeks vacationing in the south of France or at a cool getaway in Denmark. For the other three weeks of their annual vacation, they garden or travel a few hours away to root for their favorite team in Germany's biggest soccer stadium.
The couple, in their early 50s, aren't retired or well off. They live in a small Tudor-style house in this middle-class town about 30 miles northwest of Frankfurt. He's a foreman at a glass factory; she works part time for a company that tracks inventories for retailers. Their combined income is a modest $40,000.

Anonymous Documentary We Are Legion Peels Back Hacktivist Group’s History
New documentary We Are Legion puts an actual human face on Anonymous, the hacktivist group whose members usually are seen wearing Guy Fawkes masks — if they are seen at all.
Considering Anonymous’ retaliatory acts against websites run by the Department of Justice and the entertainment industry just last week in response to the government takedown of file-sharing site Megaupload, We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists could almost be mistaken for a 93-minute news segment.
But unlike most news segments about the group, the documentary contains genuine moments with actual Anons (some maintain their anonymity in the doc, but others don’t).
“The last two or three days we’ve seen a lot of what Anonymous does,” We Are Legion director Brian Knappenberger said in an interview with Wired.com here Saturday, the morning after the documentary’s premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival. “You know, there was a film about the Weather Underground that came out a few years ago, and that was made 30 years after they were blowing up buildings, and I love that film. But picture making a film like that while they were still blowing up buildings — that’s what I’m talking about.”

Österreich unterzeichnet Anti-Piraterieabkommen
Österreich will das umstrittene Anti-Piraterieabkommen ACTA, mit dem Produktpiraterie und Urheberrechtsverletzungen bekämpft werden sollen, demnächst unterzeichnen. Die Vorbereitungen für die Umsetzungen des Paktes in nationales Recht laufen, Gesetzesänderungen werden geprüft. Das EU-Parlament muss dem Abkommen noch zustimmen. Österreichische Internet-Anbieter befürchten, dass sie durch den Anti-Pirateriepakt zur Überwachung ihrer Netze gedrängt werden könnten.

Petition - End ACTA and Protect our right to privacy on the Internet
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, is a 'plurilateral' trade agreement, currently being negotiated between the US, Canada, Japan, the European Union, South Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. It is somewhat similar to SOPA/PIPA, however ACTA is an executive agreement between countries besides the United States, and it can be passed without the approval from Congress and the Supreme Court. It is potentially hazardous to the Internet we know and how it works.
