Wear:    Red, if you can

Join a peaceful rally on February 23 at Noon to 2 pm at the grassy triangle across the street from Chase Bank on Sims Way at Kearney Street. Climate activists, protectors of the Salish Sea and indigenous allies are rallying to show support and solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en Nation of Canada. This small, remote tribe in northern BC has been opposing efforts to develop pipelines across their sovereign territory for more than a decade.

Energy companies have already disrupted their subsistence wildlife trapping and destroyed some of their sacred sites and tribal buildings for dwelling, gathering and healing. Tribal members living on the land are very worried about pollution of their waters from pipeline leaks, since they are dependent on their clear, pure water from creeks and rivers for drinking, cooking and cleaning.

Tribal citizens, especially the heritage chiefs, have been peacefully opposing both the TransMountain Expansion and Coastal Gaslink Pipelines, slated to be built across their wildlands, forests and rivers.

What is wrong with burning my garbage in my backyard?

How do I know if the shellfish at my local beach are safe to eat?

Light pollution is a real issue in major cities around the world. The affects on wildlife are extensive and numerous. For example, baby sea turtles instinctively follow the moon after hatching in order to find the ocean. But with so many city lights near beaches, many baby sea turtles mistakenly follow a street light or neon sign thinking that light is the moon. These sea turtles often are run over by cars or fall into sewage drains and thus never find the ocean.
