<P>We are sending love your way filled with all the positive energy from
our planet.</P>
<P>April has been an eventful month for the climate movement. On 22nd
April, Earth Day reminded us about how people all around the planet are
working so hard to protect and heal our home. </P>
<P>This edition is filled with solutions work and people-powered moments
that encourage you to take part in protecting our environment. I mean, how
else can we really honour our home than to continuously heed the calls
from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and focus on
protecting our communities.</P>
<P>On this topic, our newly launched <SPAN style="COLOR: #3366ff"><A

<P>*Yes*, it is all satire but the message behind it all is strong and

<P>Say it with us ‘Olive is Life’! </P>
<P>On April 17th, thousands of people came together in Milas, Turkey, to
defend the olive trees against coal mining. </P>
<P>A new mining regulation in the country leaves olive groves vulnerable
to being destroyed and replaced by something as dirty as coal mines.
However,<SPAN style="COLOR: #3366ff"><A style="COLOR: #3366ff"

establish a local economy based on olives without being confined to
coal</A></SPAN>.</P>
<P>The people of Milas want to protect their home and future, and they
have been working towards that goal based on long term organising in the
region. This is another win for people power.</P>

<P>The collaboration brought with it innovative and skilful training that
gave the Pacific community an opportunity to learn the basics of
solar-powered electricity and how to assemble basic solar panel
systems. </P>
