‘Green’ Obama’s dirty secret
President Barack Obama has staked his legacy on the environment, positioning his administration as the most progressive on climate change in US history. However, an obscure agency within his administration has quietly spoiled his record.
An investigation by the Guardian found that Obama’s authorization of US investment in dirty fuel around the world could cause as much harm to the planet as his other pro-climate initiatives did good.

After literally years the Pig Trial will finally be coming to a close this Thursday March 9th 2017. Throughout the trial we have heard that Anita Krajnc, who has been criminally charged for giving water to a pig suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration in the summer of 2015, acted out of concern for the animals, as well as the environment, and the health of her fellow humans. Experts upon experts have testified on topics ranging from the environmental devastation of a non-vegan diet to the incredible emotional and cognitive intelligence of farmed animals such as pigs. This trial, which stemmed from an attempt to silence Toronto Pig Save, has brought international attention to the fight for animal rights, and since the first court date years ago, hundreds of groups have been created in countries all over the world and have joined The Save Movement. It is for these reasons that we can confidently say, though we do not yet know the legal outcomes of this trial, that we have won, for any advancement in the world’s compassion for nonhuman animals is a victory in our eyes.
Please join us outside of the Burlington courthouse one last time to show the world that you know that giving water to a suffering being, to show them compassion, is not a crime!!
Schedule:
8:00 am: Vigil at Fearmans slaughterhouse at the corner of Harvester Road and Appleby Line (821 Appleby Line, Burlington)
9:00-10:00 am: Vigil at the Burlington courthouse at 2051 Plains Rd E, Burlington, Ontario, L7R 5A5
10:00 am: Concluding arguments
A simultaneous slaughterhouse vigil will take place at Fearmans pig slaughterhouse, 10 minute drive from the courthouse.
If you are unable to attend, you can still follow! There will be live feed from both the courthouse and from the vigil on the Toronto Pig Savepage.

Another wonderful video from Bite-Sized Vegan that looks at the pigtrial; how it all started and what it currently means for the millions of pigs still enslaved by the animal agriculture industry. To put it simply; criminally charging co-organizer of Toronto Pig Save, Anita Krajnc has really backfired on the slaughterhouse/pig flesh industry as a whole.
I promise you somewhere at Exxon Mobil HQ there is a framed photo of the employee who suggested blaming it all on people using straws
#Simpsons nailed it again.

This summer saw a great deal of discussion around climate change. We asked NYU experts about what it means to the world and our University.
It’s Mermay and somehow I’ve only ever been able to draw mermaids in the context of pollution.
Every time I take my dogs to the beach, it’s covered in trash and dead leopard sharks, rays, and sturgeons. We are witnessing mass extinction in real time.
