might only be successful on this scale as the seeds have a tendency to sprout in the

might not be possible to get large equipment into a field in time. Other crops worthy of
research are oca, yacon, and amaranth. Cereals can also be grown on a small scale but
can be tricky to process. The most successful alternative staple crop I have found to
grow is the pea, followed closely by the broad bean.

13. Petition To Stop ACTA
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or
ACTA, was signed by the European Union
and 22 of its member states recently. And it
could ruin the internet as we know it.
To Stop ACTA Today CLICK HERE!
Eight countries, including the United States,
signed this last fall. Called "SOPA light", it is
a global treaty that authorizes the policing
of the inter net and its users, and
ultimately, the censorship of it.
This would hurt the freedom of expression, civil and digital rights, fair use rights, and the
right to privacy.
Strict penalties, including prison sentences, would be enforced for violations of ACTA.
Please sign the petition and tell ACTA supporters to keep the internet free for
everyone!
Thanks for taking action!

cultivating on a small and intensive scale a wide range of fruit and vegetables. We grow
sun-loving plants in our polytunnels and everything else is grown outside. There are no
herbicides or insecticides used in the garden. Nor do we use synthetic fertilizers. Our

National Tree Week 4th – 10th March 2012: Can you help CEF to plant a 1000 Tree
Legacy for Cork. Through one of our members we have been able to source 1000 Oak
and Ash saplings which we would like to plant during tree week. We are looking for
community projects that would be in a position to plant a substantial number of trees.
Please get in touch if you have such a project in mind. We encourage all groups and
communities to get involved in this National Tree Council initiative by planting trees,
organising walks in local woods and visiting champion trees. We are in the process of
organising some such events and will forward details shortly.
St. Patrick’s Festival, Saturday 17th March: CEF has participated in the Festival
Parade for a number of years. This is always a fun way of highlighting the importance of
environmental issues and CEF. This year’s theme is based on the Olympics, we already
have some ideas of how we can adapt this in creating our float. As always the more
people who participate the more successful the spectacle! Please get in touch if you
are interested in getting involved or helping out.
CEF will be participating in the Lifelong Learning Festival, 26th March – 1st April.
More information on this will be available soon. 15

22. The second Run West Cork, St Patrick's Day road race in Ballydehob will take place on
the morning of March 17th. The route takes participants along small rural roads, around
to the scenic harbour of Rossbrin, with its castle and small boats, before looping back
towards the village, finishing downhill in front of the magnificent 12 Arch Bridge by the
estuary at Ballydehob.
Last year’s inaugural event was a great success with over 250 entrants, many of them
undertaking their first ever 10km race. It attracted runners and walkers from all over the
country along with some gregarious visitors from the US. Electronic chip timing will be in
use giving participants accurate timing of their run, with results being instantly displayed
at the finish. The first 100 runners across the line will receive one of the coveted St
Patrick’s Day 10km t-shirts!
Both runners and walkers are encouraged and registration for the event is open online
through Run Ireland with further information on the Run West Cork website. Walkers will
set off at 10.30, whilst the runners will start at 11.00. Post race entertainment is aptly
provided by Ballydehob’s Community Council annual St Patrick’s Day parade. Proceeds
from the event go towards Schull Community Hospital and local schools. For information
