earthsummit.info gets in touch to say that it has updated its list of things "an ordinary person in a rich country" can do for sustainable development. "A useful antidote to thoughts of reorganising global capitalism by a week next Wednesday," it points out.

Find the list and a few thousand other links here...

Jargon-buster: don't know your ecological rucksack from your MIPs. Think Factor 10 is only useful on the beach?

Then turn to the IISD glossary of sustainable development neologisms...

Thank you for the link. Links are the lifeblood of the web. So thanks to those sites that are starting to link to us. Readers of Australian journalist, Tim Blair's blog have been hitting the Daily Summit hard for a few days now. And we're beginning to see referrals from the World Conservation Union (IUCN), which has somehow got the energy to run over 100 events at the summit...

David Steven | 03:36 PM South African time (utc/gmt +2) | |


By the way, The CorpWatch quote, below, is taken from a new book Earthsummit.biz: The Corporate Takeover of Sustainable Development.

Daily Summit is going to try and blag a copy - and maybe come up with a review.

Naomi no logo Klein certainly likes it: "Powerful people within the UN believe in a strange idea: that multinational corporations, like super-rich Peace Corp volunteers, are going to save the planet out of the goodness of their hearts. Kenny Bruno and Josh Karliner bury this dangerous fantasy with name-naming, muckraking research. This isn't just an expose, it's a scathing obituary for the dominant development model of our time."
