Dear Friends of Tamera,

Shortly before the start of the Summeruniversity, we like to inform you about the current state of some of our projects.
T
he last three months the community had a real strong time : people from 14 nationalities took part in different global education programmes about creating communities,
the planetary theory, Sepp Holzer´s Permaculture concept and about the construction of a biogas plant.
It was moving to see, how people search for research projects to study and train the possibility of alternative life models. Some of the participants said: " One has to come here to understand the complexity of this model."

News from Tamera
Tamera Support Circle: 1000 supporters until the end of 2012!
In order to develop further, Tamera has initiated a wide ring of support which carries the basis for the global projects of Tamera. We invite all friends of Tamera to join in. Take part by donating monthly a sum of your choice! Our goal is: 1000 supporters until the end of 2012!
In the establishment of Tamera we enter a new order of magnitude: The project is developing into a planetary centre for a future without war, a research centre for the realisation of global peace models and for the dissolution of the historical trauma of mankind. Ever more people and groups worldwide wish to co-operate with Tamera and to participate in the peace and healing knowledge investigated here.
Therefore, we want to develop Tamera much further until the end of 2012. The substantial basic pillars included in this are the education project "Global Campus", the School of the Future, directed by Dieter Duhm and Sabine Lichtenfels, the research of alternative energy technology in the Test Field for a SolarVillage, the completion of the water landscape into an ecological paradise of co-operation with nature.
All these intended projects need a stable basic budget, from which the basic costs of the infrastructure, the training enterprise and all running costs are covered. The employees of Tamera offer their work free of charge. Beyond that they have committed themselves to adjust deficits in the basic budget personally and therefore to accept paid work outside Tamera as well. To make a further development possible a wider ring of support is to be developed, which jointly carries the basis for the global projects of Tamera.
Therefore our goal is: 1000 supporters by end of the year 2012!
We would like to invite you to join the Big Ring. With a monthly contribution in the amount of your choice you become part of the realisation and part of the increasing planetary community, which will bring peace models into being worldwide.

Training for ecological knowledge for the future:
A basic seminar with Sepp Holzer from 3rd to 5th September

The SolarVillage Testfield kitchen for Refinement invites A warm welcome to this seminar from 3rd to 5th of September! It will provide you with an insight into the basic way of thinking and working of Holzer´s Permaculture.
The seminar is going to take place in a peak time of ecological manifestation in Tamera:
Sepp Holzer's idea to install a ring tube for alive drinking water including an irrigation water storage pond are (amongst other things) planned to be put into practise during this time.
Subsequent to the seminar the Ecology Team invites you for a traineeship in our permaculture or at the ongoing water pipe construction site for one week or longer.

Fwd: Documentaire Arte sur "L'emballage qui tue", ce soir à 21h20


Objet : Documentaire Arte sur "L'emballage qui tue", ce soir à 21h20

Bonjour,

J'ai le plaisir de vous informer que la chaine publique Arte diffusera ce soir, 27 juillet à 21h20, un reportage intitulé L'emballage qui tue. Ce reportage mettra en évidence la toxicité des "micro-déchets" et proposera des solutions par l'éco-conception. Il présentera, notamment, comment l'approche Cradle to Cradle peut répondre à cette problématique.

Synopsis du documentaire (43 minutes) :
A l'heure où les produits longue conservation sont de plus en plus prisés, les clients ne soupçonnent pas l'existence de substances dangereuses dans les emballages hermétiques et dans les aliments avec lesquels ils sont en contact. C'est le cas du Bisphénol A, que l'on trouve dans les contenants en plastique rigide et qui peut provoquer des maladies cardiaques ou affaiblir le système immunitaire. Même risque avec les phtalates utilisés pour plastifier les matériaux servant au conditionnement. Agissant comme des hormones, ils peuvent entraîner la stérilité chez les hommes. Nombre de produits figurent sur la liste des substances interdites par l'Union européenne, mais celle-ci importe massivement des produits venus d'Asie, où les réglementations ne sont guère restrictives.

Bien sincèrement,

Eric Allodi
