PIZZA FOR YOUR TROUBLES: Chevron just doesn't seem to get it. The company, which made $21 BILLION dollars in profits last year, offered each household in rural Pennsylvania one free pizza after a massive fracking well explosion killed one worker and burned for five days straight, releasing unknown amounts of toxics into the air. http://ow.ly/tLrZi

Even before the deadly explosion last Tuesday, neighbors have complained of polluted drinking water, strange odors, sick pets and livestock, headaches, nausea and rashes. Chevron seems to think that a free large pizza and a 2-liter soda will help their PR troubles go away. Let's help them realize their mistake by sharing this news far and wide!

WIN FOR STREAMS! A much reviled Bush-era rule that enabled mining companies to destroy thousands of miles of streams has been struck down by the courts thanks to our friends at the Southern Environmental Law Center! http://ow.ly/tSALy

The Bush era rule eliminated "buffer zones" that helped protect streams from the debris of mountaintop removal mining. This brutal method of coal extraction is estimated to have buried more than 2,400 miles of streams already in the US. After many years of legal fights (including challenges from Earthjustice attorneys), mountain streams are now protected once again.

Is this enough?

New research suggests that the main system that helps determine the weather over Northern Europe and North America may be changing. The study shows that the so-called jet stream has increasingly taken a longer, meandering path. This has resulted in weather remaining the same for more prolonged periods.

We should be spending billions of dollars to teach generations what littering is. Not to convince the world of global change. We cannot face change with littering consumers.
