1) ​USDA Continues Attack on Integrity of Organic Food Label, Sparks Alternative Add-On Labels
https://beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/2018/03/usda-continues-attack-integrity-organic-food-label-sparks-alternative-add-labels/

Just in case you didn't hear me gripe about this before - USDA "organic" is 95% organic! Before the recent ruling it included a standard of "humane" animal treatment that was largely ignored and not enforced. Now that "humane" standard has been removed. If you want organic food: grow your own, go to a farmer's market, subscribe to a CSA (community supported agriculture), or buy directly from a farm. Most reputable farms will offer a tour by appointment and are happy to answer questions about pest management, chemicals used, and all farm practices. You have a right to know how your food was grown! "USDA Organic" is not organic. Use our shopper's guide for a list of recommended farms and let us know of more.

4) Let Them Eat Carp: Fish Farms Are Helping to Fight Hunger
https://www.ecowatch.com/fish-farms-helping-fight-hunger-2544999732.html?utm_source=EcoWatch+List&utm_campaign=7037e4f02a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_49c7d43dc9-7037e4f02a-86095421

Most commercial farmed fish is raised in nets in the ocean. When fish lack sufficient room to swim they become ill and then infested with lice. To kill the lice they are doused with dioxin, one of the most toxic chemicals on the planet, polluting the oceans and making the fish toxic to eat. Farmed fish can be raised without toxins, or overcrowding, and fed non-GMO and organic feed. Refer to our shopper's guide for information on farmed fish that is not toxic, some raised in the ocean, and some raised in tanks. Give the oceans a chance to recover and let ocean life eat the remaining fish. If humans choose to eat fish we can raise it ourselves.

Friends of the Earth: "A new scorecard released Tuesday finds that 20 out of 25 top food retailers fail to protect bees and people from toxic pesticides. The report, Swarming the Aisles II, shows that while supermarkets have made some general commitments to sustainability and social responsibility, most have failed to take steps to reduce pesticide use in their supply chains."

"Politicians can stop using cold winter weather as an excuse to deny global warming. A study published Tuesday in Nature Communications links warmer Arctic temperatures to colder, snowier winters in the eastern U.S.The research, conducted by scientists at Atmospheric and Environmental Research and Rutgers University-New Brunswick, concluded that extreme winters are two-to-four times more likely to occur on the East Coast when the Arctic is warmer than average."

Friends of the Earth: "The unprecedented poll of farmer's opinions was conducted between Jan. 26 and Feb. 12, 2018 by a coalition of farm groups who collected 957 responses from farmers in 48 states. Cumulatively, the farmers who responded to the poll cultivate close to 2 million acres, and represent all sectors of farming."

15) Study: 93% of Bottled Water Contains Microplastics

"For the study, researchers tested 259 individual bottles across 11 brands purchased from 19 locations in nine countries. Using fluorescent tagging with Nile Red dye, the scientists found that 93 percent of the samples had some sort of microplastic contamination, including polypropylene, nylon and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The bits ranged in size from the width of a human hair to a red blood cell.
One bottle showed an excess of 10,000 microplastic particles per liter. Only 17 bottles had no contamination.
An average of 10.4 microplastic particles was detected per liter, or about twice as much contamination discovered in the group's previous study on tap water.
The survey involved leading international brands, such as Aquafina, Dasani, Evian, Nestlé Pure Life, and San Pellegrino, as well as major national brands such as Aqua (Indonesia), Bisleri (India), Epura (Mexico), Gerolsteiner (Germany), Minalba (Brazil), and Wahaha (China). "

​"Florida doctors have observed enough instances of climate-related health issues that they've banded together to form Florida Clinicians for Climate Action, The Miami Herald reported in February.
"Being in Florida especially, you can't not realize what's happening to our climate. I see it right now on a day-to-day basis," Dr. Cheryl Holder, president of the Florida State Medical Association, told The Herald.
Florida doctors have also noticed that heat waves coincide with more hospital visits due to heart failure, Florida Institute for Health Innovation head Roderick King told The Herald. He hopes to fund a study investigating the link."​

​"Despite a court-ordered injunction barring anyone from coming within 5 meters (approximately 16.4 feet) of two of its BC construction sites, opponents of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion sent a clear message Saturday that they would not back down.
Twenty-eight demonstrators were arrested March 17 after blocking the front gate to Kinder Morgan's tank farm in Burnaby, BC for four hours, according to a press release put out by Protect the Inlet, the group leading the protest.​

Inadequate Coverage is Costly: Deafening Silence on Puerto Rican Crisis
http://projectcensored.org/inadequate-coverage-costly-deafening-silence-puerto-rican-crisis/?mc_cid=9357b327ca&mc_eid=baf2d4a30b

Project Censored: "In today’s media landscape, social equity is dependent on representation. According to the Tyndall Report, Puerto Rico received 30% less coverage during Maria from broadcast news networks like ABC and CBS than Houston, TX did during the rise of Harvey. Donation and relief efforts for Puerto Rico were not mentioned when “Trump reminded the world that the Commonwealth still had a $115 billion debt that Wall Street will still need to collect,” as Julio Ricardo Varela of the Washington Post reported. What we are seeing—or not—in our media affects how a suffering party is treated by the rest of the world. In light of the minimal media coverage of the ongoing tragedy, Puerto Rico has been forced to partake in an extended moment of silence; one that diminishes the possibility of donations and weakens collective support."

https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/arsenic_and_heavy_metals_found_in_world_s_most_popular_weed_killer

Moms Across America: "Not only is the discovery of arsenic and heavy metals in Roundup and GBH extremely dangerous and disturbing, because these ingredients were not declared, the manufacturers could be liable for fraud. Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) testing in 2017 revealed that North American foods have been found to be highly contaminated with glyphosate.  GBH are highly used in North America, not only on GMO crops engineered to withstand GBH but on non-organic foods as a drying agent. Even some "organic" crops such as garbanzo beans, red lentils, buckwheat flour and pinto beans, have been found to be nearly as contaminated as their conventional counterparts."

21) Inside the grassroots plan to get fossil fuel money out of politics
https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/inside-climate-movement-no-fossil-fuel-money-pledge/

Waging Nonviolence: "In comparison to the seemingly empty gesture of joining the Climate Solutions Caucus, the early results in Virginia suggest that elected officials at all levels of government — unbought by fossil fuel companies — are more likely to take meaningful stands against their climate-destroying, monopolistic agenda. This bodes well for a national coalition of climate organizations that are taking Activate Virginia’s model to states around the country with a No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. Launched in June 2017, the pledge asks all candidates for office to “not take contributions from the oil, gas and coal industry and instead prioritize the health of our families, climate and democracy over fossil fuel industry profits... As the winds of change whipped up storm surges in the Southeast, they fanned fires in the West. The Tubbs Fire, which damaged or destroyed more than 5,600 homes and killed 22 in October, was the most destructive of the more than 9,000 wildfires in California in 2017. The biggest one, called the Thomas Fire, encompassed an area larger than the D.C. Beltway. Like others in Puerto Rico, Houston and Florida, fire-weary Californians are questioning if they should rebuild or retreat in the face of what many called the “new normal.”

22) Why It’s Time to Stop Punishing Our Soils with Fertilizers
https://e360.yale.edu/features/why-its-time-to-stop-punishing-our-soils-with-fertilizers-and-chemicals

Yale Environment 360: "In a world where government agencies and agribusiness have long pursued the holy grail of maximum crop yield, USDA researcher Rick Haney preaches a different message: The quest for ever-greater productivity — using fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and whatever other chemicals are at hand — is killing our soil and threatening our farms."

Call To Action!
We urge all groups including schools, neighborhood associations, organizations, clubs and groups of any kind to adopt a Climate Declaration.  Adopt ours or write your own.  Share your Climate Declaration with local governments, the media, write articles, and share information.
Occupy Sonoma County Climate Declaration

Occupy Sonoma County, along with concerned, forward thinking people all over the world, declares that climate change has reached catastrophic proportions as evidenced by the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere, the melting of polar ice caps, and the continual rising of global temperatures.  This is a global emergency, and we must act immediately.​  We invite all forces of life to join together for our survival.  We stand up for life.

We recognize that the root of climate change is a capitalist system run by money greedy corporations and the governments that they control.  We actively oppose greenhouse gas producers, nuclear power investors, and fossil fuel companies by boycotting their products, developing alternatives, divesting from corporations that endorse them and insisting that governments at all levels take action.  We call on all governments and corporations to adopt life-sustaining practices immediately.

The people must act now to stop this destruction from continuing and reverse the damage this has caused​.  The future is in our hands.  We are the 99%!
