MOST OF THE FIVE MILLION people in the UK who are wholly

vegetarian or eschew red meat choose their diet on the grounds of ethics (intensive farming, animal welfare) or health (high blood pressure, cholesterol). Those in the ethical camp are often passionate about green issues, but a non-meat diet as a way to combat climate change has only recently been suggested. A UN report, Livestock's Long Shadow, argued that beef and dairy farming globally create more climate-changing gases (18 per cent) than the world's transport system (13 per cent). Although

some have questioned the details of this report, there is no doubt that the carbon footprint of livestock production is hugely significant ─ and growing. 

Have you got the professional credibility to support and challenge head teachers and senior managers to recognize the issue and tackle the causes while offering creative and evidence based solutions? 

A report from the computer security firm McAfee this week declared cyber-crime to be almost as big as the global drugs trade and costing the UK £6.8 billion a year. Some experts took issue with McAfee's big numbers ─ including a global cost of £266 billion, and an estimate of '150,000 European jobs lost' a year. But all agree that the problem is a serious threat to growth in the advanced economies and that its measurable size is misleading anyway, because so much of it goes unreported. 

 I can recall the ridiculous headlines when this summer’s forecast was issued, saying it was going to be a sweltering summer when the Met Office just said that it was going to be slightly above average. 

Body-worn video cameras are quickly becoming standard-issue for American police, especially at departments in the process of reform. And in New Orleans, the troubled police department is now requiring almost all officers to wear the cameras. It has a dark history of corruption, racism and brutality.
