Right now, the US Senate is considering legislation to resurrect Keystone XL, overriding President Obama's rejection of the pipeline, and greenlighting construction of this disastrous project.

We have a matter of hours to put together a massive response to show them that approving Keystone is unacceptable.

Simon Bennett It's not right. And I'm a fishmonger.
The producer of 'end of the line' disagrees though! She said 'buy msc certified fish, regardless of size of boat' and I don't agree with that.

Greenpeace UK Thanks Simon Bennett, yes, factory fishing by super trawlers - kept afloat by EU taxpayers’ money - just isn’t right. We need to pressure our government to fix the broken management of the EU’s fishing fleet, and support our local, low impact, small scale fishermen.

Christopher, re: 'be the change you want to see in others', I have written something recently which might put this in context:

------
As for sentiments and Wise Words, here’s something you will have heard lots of: “Be the change you wish t...o see.” The sentiment is great; the execution is almost always terrible. Gandhi was no saint, as several authors have been at pains to point out; and neither was he a dedicated proponent of peaceful action – his saboteur followers saw to that myth. And his phrase, above, is a pretty good one if taken in the right way: you want to see change? Then do something about it. All too often, though, this phrase has been taken as an excuse just to change ones state of mind, without actually doing anything that is likely to bring about any other kind of change.

If I’m going to be accused of ad hominem attacks, then I may as well try and justify them. Any doctrine is made up of things that people have said and done and, in the words of the great Utah Phillips, those people have names and addresses...or at least they have names, those who have already left us. And it’s not so much the originators of the words who need to be undermined, as the way those words have been used and, in many cases, twisted for the benefit of the user. So, when I attack the phrase, “Be the change you wish to see” I am most definitely taking to task those copy-writers and poster designers who have completely failed to take into account the real meaning of, and the potential ramifications of Being The Change. Fuck it! I’m going to go further than that: if you use a phrase or saying and can’t be bothered to fully understand at least what the words mean, let alone the context in which those words were laid down, then you have no right to use them.See More
