Once called crazy, Indonesian eco-warrior turns arid hills green Facebook Levar Burton Schools Meghan McCain On 'Cancel Culture' Meghan McCain attempted to bait Levar Burton into a debate about “cancel culture” during Monday’s episode of “The View,” but the “Reading Rainbow” host turned it into a teachable moment. It started when McCain asked Burton about the decision Dr. Seuss Enterprises made in March to cease publishing six children’s books because of racist and insensitive imagery. “What do you think of that decision and about the cancel culture surrounding works of art or artists that are controversial?” Burton returned the volley by first explaining that he recently did a voiceover for a Seuss Foundation video reminding viewers that “Dr. Then, using Dr. Finally, Burton calmly explained that he thinks the term “cancel culture” is wrongly invoked to explain an awakening of accountability. “I think it’s misnamed,” Burton said of the term, which has become a right wing buzzword. Whatever it’s called, Burton said, “good signs that are happening in the culture right now.”

No immunity without investigation No immunity without investigation In America right now, small crimes get punished, but big crimes--committed against the whole country by the 1%--get free passes and bailouts. Federal and state negotiators—including top members of the Obama administration—are days away from striking a bad deal that would let the banks off the hook for illegally foreclosing on millions of homeowners. The only way to stop it is to convince the president that millions of Americans want to see a full, fair investigation before anyone gets immunity. A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to President Obama. Sign the Petition Full petition text: "The banks have to be held accountable for destroying the American Dream for so many families. Privacy Policy (the basics): We do not share the information you’ve given us with unaffiliated groups without your explicit permission.

No complaints about this traffic cop (CBS News) LOS ANGELES - Nobody likes to see a motorcycle cop in the rear-view mirror. But we happened to run into a cop who holds the record for civilian complaints. So where did he find him? "On the Road," of course. This is L.A. 'Why can't he go catch some real criminals,' you may be thinking. By the very nature of the business, all L.A.County traffic cops can expect to get at least a few complaints every year. Which is why Capt. Although he did see lots of commendations looking back over the last 20 years -- over the last 25,000 traffic stops, Capt. "I mean, Vegas or M.I.T could not give you the odds of the statistical probability of that," said Maxwell. Obviously Elton is doing something right. Until the captain told him, Elton didn't even know he had such a record, let alone how he got it. So we trailed him for a day to see if we could figure out how he does it. "I'm here with you," said Elton. " I'm not up here" (motions his arm up towards the sky). Apparently, you can't.

Anonymous - Who Should Be TIME's Person of the Year 2011? Anonymous has been called many things, mostly in relation to computer hacking — hackers, hacktivists, an international hacking collective — but the so-called group is really more of a way of life than something that's easily definable. Anonymous has changed the way the world thinks about hacking by turning it into a form of social activism. A fixture with the Occupy Wall Street protests, Anonymous has also been linked to nefarious hacks, like the one that took down Sony's PlayStation Network this year. Yet it has reportedly been engaged in vigilante justice as well, including the takedown of a massive child-pornography ring. Despite having no central leadership, Anonymous' reputation has grown thanks to the nature of its anyone-can-join mentality. Next Casey Anthony

Occupy the world | Greenpeace At the weekend my twitter feed was alive with news of the hundreds of thousands of people around the world, including in my adopted city of Amsterdam, taking a stand in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. It is a movement that has quickly spread far beyond the shadows of Wall Street’s skyscrapers, and the reason is simple - all over the world, citizens are tired of profit being put before people and the planet. Greenpeace is tired of polluting corporations with vested interests dictating policy to governments, without concern for the consequences for those who have to live with them. We are tired of corporations controlling the quality of the air, people’s access to food and the availability of clean, safe energy. As an organisation and as individuals, we share the growing demands for change. The Occupy movement is in its infancy, but the discontent that gave birth to it is long-lived and broad-ranging. We share the aspirations of Occupy Wall Street for a better, freer world.

Yes, Trees Are a Viable Climate Solution If there was one unlikely buzzword to come out of the most recent gathering of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, it was “tree-planting.” WEF launched a global initiative to “grow, restore and conserve 1 trillion trees around the world,” with the support of leaders like United States President Donald Trump, primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, and Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff. But this surge of support for reforestation and natural climate solutions brought with it accusations of corporate greenwashing and misinformation about what natural climate solutions can accomplish. Let’s go through a few points that critics have raised: “Planting trees is not enough to prevent climate change.” Natural climate solutions cover more than 20 different activities, not just tree-planting. Virtually all recent analyses of the emissions reductions needed suggest that we simply cannot achieve those goals without nature.

PROTECT IP Act Breaks the Internet I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote "no" on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. The video above discusses the Senate version of the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). PIPA would give the government new powers to block Americans' access websites that corporations don't like. Forest Landowners Guide to Tree Planting Success Planting trees is visionary Imagine a forest where there was once pasture, or woodland where there were once crops. Imagine a healthy, diverse forest, resistant to insects, fire, and disease, that will contribute to the property for generations. Planting trees has many benefits: improved wildlife habitat, high-quality trees for timber or specialty wood products, revegetated buffers along streams to protect water quality, increased species diversity and resiliency, enhanced attractiveness, and a more valuable estate for your family or heirs. Most often, forests regenerate and old fields grow up in trees without our intervention. Desired results are often evident in as little as 5 years following planting; the planted area will begin to transform into a forest. This publication focuses on the values and methods of establishing wooded areas on rural property. Figure 1. Determining Planting Objective(s) Assessing the Planting Site Not all tree species are suited to all sites. Figure 2. Augers

Obama Stop The Madness - Stop The Attacks On Occupiers Up With Trees :: AmeriCorps Partners with Up With Trees A team of AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) members is planting trees and clearing unkempt public land along the sides of roads and freeways across greater Tulsa.
