Patriotism that loves our country, our land, and our planet
I strongly urge everybody to vote for Rob Walton as worst of the 1% for his efforts to crush labor and human rights and drive local mom and pop operations out of business, as well for funding corporate environmental NGO efforts to privatize the oceans by promoting catch shares programs and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s privately funded [...]
By Kate Sinding Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Counsel Tomorrow night is the final of four hearings being held by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (details here and below) on its most recent proposal to allow new fracking across major parts of the state.

By Anna Goldstein 350.org Dear friends, What comes next? That’s the question facing people all across the country — people in the climate movement, people in the Occupy movement, and all of us here at 350.org.

There’s just one problem: The actual experts on energy, from the The Oil [...]
One of the unified themes that has emerged from the very disunified Occupy Wall Street movement: Preventing corporate cash from buying elections (and politicians).
