Larzac 2003 : 300 000 people ! (the notebooks and reports of an Ecotopian)

Hello,

Hello to All Ecotopians!

I'm Vincent RICHARD from France and i've been taking part in some previous
Ecotopias (Polen, Czeck Republic, Scotland, Germany). I will not come this
year in Ecotopia in Ukraine.
I came back yesterday from the GREAT gathering of Lazac 2003 and I want to
give you a report of my impressions there. As an Ecotopian, i will also
compare this meeting to some traits of Ecotopia.

This report has turned quite long, so here's a summary first :
"On August 8, 9 and 10 in Larzac, South of France, a gathering against the
WTO, and for the promotion of alternatives, brought together as many as 300
000 people! It's a very important milestone as it has enabled the meeting
of very different people, organisations and fights, that are usually
separate. It has shown the enormous number and strenght of the people who
are dissatisfied with economic globalisation, and who think that "other
worlds are possible". I should post pictures on the web soon and i'll let
you know" (end of the summary).

Here's the link to the whole article :

Cheers.
I wish you an excellent Ecotopia!

Vincent.
