Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the
leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost
entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this
represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media
and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since
we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to
collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.
The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and
deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are
doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.
Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and
people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can
achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the
true nature of who we are.
Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural
models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems
and create new options.
Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN.
We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision
of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Positive News was handed the guardianship
of Global Village News and Resources in summer of 2004. Although we would like
to continue to make the archives available to subscribers and readers we would
like to point out that stories published prior to issue 89 were not under our
editorial guidance and would like to make a distinction that these are not
necessarily a reflection of the current opinions of our editorial team.

American Woman Goes Door to Door to
Count Iraqi Casualties
IRAQ - The Pentagon keeps a precise count of U.S. casualties in the
war in Iraq. But the question of how many Iraqis lost their lives
remains as mysterious as the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein or the
location of all those weapons of mass destruction.

New Hope for Brazilian Rainforests
BRAZIL - Under a new plan developed by the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC), 42 Brazilian timber companies recent formed an
alliance called called the Compradores de Madeira Certificada. The
new association is committed to purchasing only timber which has
been certified as being harvested from sustainable forests. The
certification program guarantees that timber with the FSC stamp of
approval comes from a forest which is being managed according to
agreed social, economic and environmental standards. About 18
million hectares of forests in around 15 countries have the FSC
certificate, including 1 million hectares in Brazil.

Jews & Muslims Seek Common Ground
In NYC
USA – Despite 9/11 and the increasing tensions in the Middle
East - or perhaps because of them - some ethnic and religious groups
are making an extended effort to reach out to one another; to bridge
the walls that separate them even when they share the same
neighborhood. Midwood neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. is an example.
Midwood is a ten square bock neighborhood with one of the highest
concentrations of both Orthodox Jews & Muslims than anywhere else in
the USA. Jewish and Muslim women shop side by side, wearing slightly
different head coverings but often pushing the same brand of
strollers. No one denies that tension sometimes exists in Midwood,
but through work, dedication, and a tacit agreement to disagree, it
has remained relatively peaceful and productive.

Fairy Tale

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there were all of
these little light beings just hanging out enjoying life in that
joyful & timeless dimension. And then one day a very large,
magnificent angel came to them. He had a very serious look on his
face. He was looking for volunteers for a very important cosmic
mission.

MoveOn.org
www.moveon.org/about.html
MoveOn/Democracy in Action is working to bring ordinary people back into
politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big
media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our
"representatives" don't represent the public, the foundations of
democracy are in peril. MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of
grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in
finding their political voice. Our nationwide network of more than
600,000 online activists is one of the most effective and responsive
outlets for democratic participation available today.
