Good News! Senate stands up against pro-pollution agenda! Climate truth hard to find. Affects you. Real energy jobs, survival of your kids.

Some good news from League of Conservation Voters. Senate stands up against pollution!

League of Conservation Voters
We just delivered a massive blow to Donald Trump! Thanks to your calls and emails, the Senate just voted, 51-49, to stand up to the oil and gas industry and say hell no — you can’t have a free pass to pollute our air and spew dangerous methane pollution into our atmosphere!

This is a huge win for our health, our clean air, and our climate, and shows that President Trump’s plans to unravel hard-won environmental protections are not a foregone conclusion. We thank each and every senator who stood up against big polluters today and defended commonsense safeguards from methane pollution.

This victory was made possible by all of you! This successful vote in the Senate is the result of months of hard work making your voices heard to your senators. LCV members signed more than 60,000 petitions, flooded Senate offices with thousands of calls, and filled the streets during the Peoples Climate March, with hundreds of thousands of us marching across the country for protecting our environment and acting on climate.

Methane pollution is one of the biggest contributors to climate change. Keeping President Obama’s methane rule in place will prevent a huge amount of toxic methane from getting into our air and further damaging our climate. It is proof that we can defeat Trump and his anti-environment, pro-polluter agenda! The resistance is working!

But the fight is far from over — the Paris Climate Agreement hangs in the balance, and the EPA budget is still on the chopping block. Let’s celebrate, take pride in what we’ve accomplished together, and get ready for the continued fight.

LOOK at China's Cities, our future with Climate Denier Scott Pruitt. Call your Senators, if you understand what denial means to you now, and the future of our Earth--survival of your kids and grand kids..

If you only care about today and making money, understand permanent jobs in alternative energy are good paying and last a lifetime. Fossil fuels damn the planet, your health and won't last. 

Do you think Fossil Fuel Billionaires in their 70s and 80's want new industry or retraining? Will
your water and air be a consideration? They don't even want you to read the above report.


Senators on natural resources and energy committee will question and vote on the climate denier Scott Pruitt to head EPA.
Urge them to include science facts in their questioning and to get on the record about the dangers of climate change. 
(Reported that grants for scientific research through the EPA have already been frozen.)

THE BRONZE BOY, a courageous American play, showcased at "East of Edinburgh" at 59E.59th Street - in Edinburgh Fest! New York City Next?

Image
  THE BRONZE BOY by Nancy Hamada, directed by Todd Faulkner. Cast included August Kiss Fegley, Nicole Greevy and Todd Faulkner. The production was showcased in "East of Edinburgh" at 59 E.59th Street, one of 6 plays selected for Edinburgh's Fringe Festival. The 59th Street venue offered an opportunity to stage shows prior to the festival. It's an unusual opportunity in the United States. Unlike Britain, there is no National Theater to provide festival opportunities for new plays, let alone venues to showcase them.  THE BRONZE BOY is a surprisingly funny, nuanced and serious play about America's love-hate relationship with guns, explored in a road trip. This meandering journey on our highways is a visit to our hidden gun culture. We see headlines in America, telegraphed shots of life and death madness, but rarely stories of our subterranean inheritance. Our relationship to guns is largely ignored in news culture, which emphasizes senselessness over the hidden ...
