\nWhat would I like to do in 2012 \u2013 apart from fashion. The first thing is we need to see everything from the main problem of Climate Change to find the right solutions to everything we want to do.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate change<\/strong>: We have helped the Cool Earth campaign to gain momentum over the past few months and we plan to keep raising public awareness and continue to fund raise. The faster we fund raise, the faster the plan to save the Rainforest operates. People can see the practical results and then the more they want to help. The big idea is that our demonstration of people power will encourage governments to join in with help of finance. We want to save not only the Rainforest but the planet.<\/p>\n

Harper\u2019s Bazaar and Storm Model Agency are planning a big fund raising event for February \u2013 to follow an interview and photo spread in the March issue of the magazine.<\/p>\n

We have been approached about a possible TV documentary \u2013 for this it would be good to visit Peru and see for ourselves the impact our investments have had \u2013 and to find out how the people there earn their living and what is important to them culturally; we can exchange ideas, working towards ideas of a universal nature.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Human rights<\/strong>: We should never forget the plight of Leonard Peltier, still languishing in gaol after 36 years. Protecting human rights is now more important than ever considering the danger of Climate Change chaos, the growing numbers of climate refugees (there are already 38 million) and the breakdown of society as we know it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m encouraging Leonard to write more about his life in prison but, in the meanwhile, this is a quote from his book, \u2018Prison Writings\u2019, which gives some insight into his thinking:<\/p>\n

We need each other. Each of is responsible for what happens on this earth. We are each absolutely essential, each totally irreplaceable. Each of us is the<\/span> swing vote in the bitter election battle now being waged between our best and our worst possibilities.<\/em><\/p>\n

How are you going to cast your all important ballot?<\/em><\/p>\n

Humanity awaits your decision.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2026One good man or one good woman can change the world\u2026and their work can be a beacon for millions, for billions. Are you that man or woman? If so, may the Great Spirit bless you. If not, why not<\/span>?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Financial turning point: <\/strong>These are my ideas of the kind of demands we should make to challenge the world financial crisis. I\u2019d like to offer them to the people protesting at St Paul\u2019s in London and see what they think:
\nBanks should provide a service and not be run for profit.<\/p>\n

The first step is to separate the 2 kinds of bank:<\/p>\n
