Thousands File Opposition Comments on Giant Tunnels

Thousands File Opposition Comments on Giant Tunnels By Kyle Jones More than 30,000 Californians, including thousands of Sierra Club members, filed comments with the Natural Resources Agency last month opposing the Brown Administration's proposed San Francisco Bay Delta tunnels project. The project would build a pair of giant, four-story-high tunnels to move water out of the San Francisco Bay Delta system to parts south.  The effect of the tunnels construction and operation would be to further damage water quality in the Bay Delta and rivers that feed into the Delta.  They would destroy habitat for already endangered species, and likely destroy certain key fisheries.  The tunnels project would also divert tens of billions of dollars of investment that would be better spent on smart water projects that would increase regional resilience and help Californians better respond to changing rainfall and drought patterns.

Now, despite decades of resistance by certain automakers, California's demand for vehicles that don't pollute has begun to show big results. As of April 2015, according to the California Air Resources Board, there were more than 135,000 zero-emission vehicles on the road in California. More amazing, the growth rate of adoption has skyrocketed. In the previous 12 months before the April report, more than 50,000 had been added... Read more

Hindi nila kailangan ng dasal for show. Ang kailangan, ituro ng mga matitino sa kanila kung sino sa mga kabaro nila ang sangkot sa laglag-bala. Kapag nakumpirma ng mga biktima kung sino mga nangikil, parusahan ora mismo, walang patumpik-tumpik.

Paolo Barazon I-mandatory lie detector test ang lahat ng airport screeners sa lahat ng airports na involved (thus far: NAIA and Davao). Tapos dapat televised live. Tngnan natin kung sino unang bibigay sa mga airport screeners.

Victory for our climate: Keystone XL rejected!

Victory for our climate: Keystone XL rejected!
They said it couldn't be done. They said Keystone XL was a "done deal" and unstoppable. But this movement didn't listen to the naysayers. We knew that with hard work, and by standing together, we could beat Big Oil and stop KXL. In the end, people power beat Big Oil!
