Quote of the Week
Donal McCarthy says that when compared to some global expenditures the $76bn price tag is a small price to pay.
"These are just a fraction of what we as consumers spend on soft drinks each year which is almost half a trillion dollars - the total required for species and sites is less than half of what is paid out in bonuses to bankers on Wall street's biggest investment banks," he explained.

Interfaith Moral Action on Climate was formed at a meeting in Washington, D.C. on November 3, 2011.
