Tar Sands Blockade Solidarity Event 3/19
Tar Sands Blockade Solidarity Event
| Date: | Tuesday, March 19, 2013 |
| Time: | 5:00 PM to 6:15 PM |
| Presented by: | Delaware Chapter |
| Leader: | Stephanie Herron - 302-468-4550 stephanie.herron@sierraclub.org |
| Location: | Newark Amtrak, Newark, DE 19713, USA |
Join us on Tuesday in Newark for a Delaware anti-tarsands action during the national Tar Sands Blockade week of action! We'll hold our tar sands banner and signs in front of the very place where the toxic tar sands are being held in rail cars as they wait to be unloaded and processed at the Delaware City refinery.
Delaware is getting railroaded by tar sands which are are not only 3x worse for our warming climate but much more carcinogenic and polluting to refine. As you know, the last thing Delaware needs is more cancer-causing air pollution. Join us on Tuesday to take a stand against tar sands in our state and be a part of the growing international movement to keep dirty tar sands in the ground!
You can park in the Amtrak parking lot near the bottom of the bridge and we'll meet up at the base of the bridge at 5pm. If you need an address for a GPS, you can use 429 South College Avenue, Newark, DE to get in the right general area.

Industrial scale palm oil production is coming
to Africa and it’s bad news for the rainforest of Cameroon.
Palm oil is the world’s cheapest edible oil and global demand is booming. That’s why a U.S. corporation called Herakles Farms is pushing ahead with plans to plow down an area of primate rainforest ten times larger than Manhattan to create a palm oil plantation in Cameroon.

Fracking Our Farms: A Tale
of Five Farming Families
Their names are Carol, Steve & Jackie,
Susan, Marilyn & Robert, and Christine. They share a bond. Two bonds,
actually: They all own, or owned, farms. And those farms, along with their own
health and the health of their farm animals, have all been ruined by fracking.http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_27073.cfm
PEW Trusts: The Future of US Clean Energy -
Pew believes that advanced clean energy technologies can strengthen America’s economic and environmental future as well as its security. Pew’s research in recent years indicates that clean energy helps create employment, manufacturing, and export opportunities while reducing the pollution and risks associated with current energy patterns and technologies. To reclaim a leadership position in the worldwide competition, the public and private sectors in the United States must work together to strengthen the clean energy industry. Our infographic shows where the U.S. can harness new opportunities in order to create a strong strategy for future energy policy.
Follow the link to view some great charts outlining the various energy usages throughout the US:

Keystone XL Pipeline News
We
were going to send you an inspiring video of last weekend’s Forward on Climate
rally, but breaking news just intervened:
Reporters this morning uncovered the fact
that while 40,000 or more people were outside the White House asking for his
attention about Keystone XL, President Obama was playing golf with oil and
pipeline executives in Florida.
His
staff didn't allow any pictures at the outing -- likely because it’s an
embarrassing spectacle for a President who promised to “end business as usual
in Washington” and “respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that
failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.”
We
need to show the White House they can't get away with doing special favors for
Big Oil. It’s fine to take a day off every now and then, but it’s just plain
wrong to play footsie with the oil industry. Please click here to read and share the whole story,
and make a call to the President: act.350.org/call/obama-golf/

Farmer's Fight With Monsanto Reaches The Supreme Court
This week, the Supreme Court will take up a classic David-and-Goliath case. On one side, there's a 75-year-old farmer in Indiana named Vernon Hugh Bowman; on the other, the agribusiness giant Monsanto.
The farmer is fighting the long reach of Monsanto's patents on seeds — but he's up against more than just Monsanto. The biotech and computer software industries are taking Monsanto's side.
Bowman also is battling a historic shift that's transformed the nation's seed business over the past 20 years.
