1 Million Public Comments, Bill McKibben, 350.org
Submitted by Evergreene Digest Contributing Editor Amelia Kroger
Friends,
Great news: we reached our goal, when the millionth public comment was submitted to the State Department opposing the Keystone XL pipeline very recently. That's a lot.
In fact, at about the same hour the President put out an Earth Day proclamation saying "nothing is more powerful than millions of voices calling for change." Now we have a chance to see if he means it!
The 350 team put together this graphic to celebrate the occasion and send a message to the President -- can you share it around with your social networks?

'State Department' Keystone XL Report Actually Written By TransCanada Contractor, Brad Johnson, Huffington Post
- Because the impact statement was written by a TransCanada contractor, not by State Department officials, it should come as no surprise that it presents a worldview of a global economy inevitably dependent on dirty fossil fuels that is entirely at odds with the expressed views of Secretary of State John Kerry.

AFL-CIO’s Own Oil Disaster, Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer, Ann Robertson's ZSpace Page

Breaking news on Keystone XL, Bill McKibben, 350.org
- President Obama will be making a decision in a few short months. I won’t lie: today’s report makes the odds look even tougher -- and the power of the fossil fuel lobby hasn’t waned one bit.
- We're hosting strategy sessions across the country.
- We're building a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
The Koch-Stone XL Pipeline, Bill McKibben, Reader Supported News
- The irony of the Koch Brothers involvement should be lost on no one. The only argument for building the pipeline (which will export its oil off the continent and do nothing at all about gas prices) is that it will provide several thousand good-paying construction jobs."

Obama Has Caved Again: This Time on the Keystone XL Pipeline, Lydia Howell, Evergreene Digest
Tell President Obama: Don't expedite approval of the southern leg of Keystone XL or cut any corners to force this project through.- Another twist in the Keystone XL saga
- Too bad President Obama has never said he would {quote)"take every possible step to expedite" bringing the troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq, or raising the minimum wage, or passing the Employee Free Choice Act, or restoring our civil liberties, or bringing Bush-era torturers to account, or..., or..., or... . In fact, he's done none of those things. Sign petition, call, write, etc.
April 29, 2013 | After walking two miles behind a “Stop Frac Sand” banner, we arrived at the Port of Winona where 18-wheel trucks were unloading their cargoes of silica frac sand on to barges in the Mississippi River to be shipped to natural gas fracking operations in Texas or other locations. A second group of friends walked over three miles to another Winona, MN site where already-mined frac sand was being washed before loaded on to the trucks that were arrive at the port. With the support of dozens of other friends, 35 of us were arrested on trespass charges as we nonviolently blocked the trucks this morning in what may have been the largest protest to date against fracking.
