Poor People Fed Up: The Occupy Movement is Now Global

First it was Wall Street. Then it spread to major cities like L.A., Miami, Chicago and Atlanta. Then Middle America jumped in the mix. And now Occupy Wall Street has reportedly spread to 81 other countries worldwide.

The Occupy Wall Street movement spilled onto main streets in Europe, Asia and Australia on Saturday as crowds chanted and marched in a global movement of discontent.

“People of the world, rise up on October 15th,” said United for Global Change — the central site for the international movement. “It’s time for us to unite. It’s time for them to listen.”

The group said 951 cities in 82 countries will take part in the rallies after online organizers called for a worldwide rally.

People rallied in Europe, including the cities of London, Zurich and Rome.
In Japan, about 200 people marched through Tokyo carrying various signs, including “No More Nukes and “Free Tibet.” The crowd included children jumping and skipping behind the adults. Some protesters wore costumes — including a giant panda.

“I’m here because young Japanese people are suffering for losing their jobs, but not many speak out their issue to the public,” said Kesao Murakami. “I really want to young people appeal forcefully to the public saying, ‘We are in trouble.”

In South Korea, Arthur Fragoso rallied with a small group outside a bank in Seoul. He said his protest is a solidarity move with the Occupy movement and not a reflection of any discontent against his government.
“We are protesting mostly for economic issues worldwide,” he said. “We need to come up with ideas to solve the world problems.”

In the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, about two dozen people — some wearing masks — gathered near the U.S. Embassy.

“We wanted to show that the American regime, its system of imperialism needs to be destroyed,” said Rudi Daman, leader of the International League of Peoples’ Struggle.

The group urged its chapters to stage a global day of action against “imperialist plunder, repression and war.”

Wait. The whole world is uniting in protest against OUR government?

Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney joined rallies against “corporate greed” as protesters aligned themselves with the global movement.

“Our protests are to show our solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and also protest various problems — from indigenous issues in this country to government problems,” said Alex Gard, one of the Melbourne organizers. “We know we have it better than the protesters in the States … but there are still problems in this country.”

Organizers urged protesters to bring sleeping bags and other soft items to sleep on.

“I’ve heard people say they plan to be there for days, even months,” Gard said.

Organizers worldwide started social media pages on Facebook and Twitter devoted to “October 15″ — #O15 on Twitter — urging protesters to join the global call for protests.

Protests were planned in other countries, including major cities in Kenya, South Africa, Britain, France, Russia, Mexico and Venezuela.

It’s great to see young people the world over standing up for something… Now if we could just talk about what it’s going to take to bring the protests to an end. “Corporate Greed” doesn’t really have a one-item fix like overthrowing a dictator…

10 Ways To Go Green & Save Money

1. Save Energy
    -Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer yo save on heating and cooling costs
    -Unplug appliances when your not using them, or use a "smart" power strip that sense when your appliances are off and cuts "phantom" and "vampire" energy use


2. Save Water
   -Make sure you have a faucet aerator on each faucet. These inexpensive appliances conserve heat and water, while keeping water pressure high.
   -Take shorter showers to reduce water use! (not always that easy though)


3. Less Gas=more money (and better health!)
   -Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of obesity.


4. Eat Smart
   -Buy locally raised, humane and organic meat, eggs, and dairy whenever you can. Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
   -Whatever your diet, eat low on the food chain. This is especially true for seafood!


5. Skip The Bottled Water
   -Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it generates large amounts of container waste.


6. Think Before You Buy
   -Go online and find new or gently used second hand product. Consider a service like craigslist or Freesharing to track down items such as furniture, appliances, or etc for cheap or for free.


7. Borrow Instead Of Buying
   -Borrow from libraries, this helps save on ink and paper for printing new books.
   -Share power tools and other appliances, its a great way to get to know your neighbors and cut down on clutter in your garage.


8. Keep Electronics Out Of The Trash
   -Try to keep your electronics for as long as possible. But when the time comes, donate them or recycle them responsibly. E-waste contains mercury and other toxins and is a growing environmental problem.


9. Buy Smart
   -Buy in bulk, it helps save money and packaging.
   -Wear clothes that don't need to be dry cleaned. This helps save money and cuts down on toxic chemical use!


10. Make Your Own Cleaning Supplies
   -The Big Secret: You can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning products whenever you need them. All you need are a few simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon and soap.
   -Making your own cleaning products saves money, time and packaging-not to mention your indoor air quality!
