From the battle to end segregation of the 1960s and 70s to the “no nukes” movement of the 1970s and 80s, PEOPLE have fought for what we know is right -- and forced our society to address far-reaching threats to our well-being. It's time to take to the streets once again -- this time to demand a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world where all living things can thrive. A world that we know is within our reach -- but only if we act now. Read more and let us know if you can join us: http://www.demandcleanpower.org/peoples-climate-march/alerts/ I'll be there and I would love to meet you in person! Linda

America's coal power plants are the single biggest source of carbon pollution in the country -- they belch out more global warming pollution than all cars, trucks and airplanes combined.
More carbon pollution leads to more climate chaos -- from record droughts and floods, to wildfires and super storms. Tell the EPA to put people before polluters and stand firm against Big Coal. http://bit.ly/1qL0BlZ

A recent report shows that the relentless growth in fracked oil has led to a 70-fold increase in the amount of crude oil shipping on trains since 2005, among other worrying statistics. With that rapid expansion inevitably comes increased risks to innocent bystanders —

If you have 5 minutes worth watching but just for fun.

No one can debate whether truth is true.

For your own safety the North Carolina legislature is considering a bill that, as part of the fracking push in the state, would make it illegal to release the contents of the chemical cocktail that frackers use to blow holes underground.

Despite frackers being allowed to do their fracking in and around drinking water sources, so far they are still not required to disclose what chemicals they are using. And boy, they ain't telling. It could be the kind of chemical that gives people super powers. Or it could be formaldehyde.
