Hello,

as a person that has sent you much thought from this beginning from afar,
to build community, I just now filled in our information.

but i'm a US 501.c3 non profit, is that applicable?

also when I say content management or mobile application development that
does not pertain to web design does it for you? for i'm talking about
building a global platform, a virtual tool to share the process of building
working ecological sustainable communities to harmonize.

I know gov has created these platforms, I thought OFA would work, I tried
to communicate but I did not get direct feedback, so I have to parallel
them + help differently.

but what about your suggest platform, is it github? I once reviewed, with
my thought of restructuring.

for our idea is to have people reflect the process via like
ecosystem/subject, to then take home + fine tune, + we support small/medium
alternative energy as supplement + feel the much Free Trade as well Fair
Trade is not free, it interferes in our local ability to maintain local
sovereignty, not to mention many are leaving ill/toxic effects. we want to
focus direct for peace resolutions locally + afar as well address our local
+ national priorities, which are behind, etc.

so please suggest, + we will review, as we are reviewing others, also
asking what platform best to have students share in posting, reflecting,
follow up, etc. as well what does the gov offer, am I understanding you
want to share in a web based structure?? for people to post, that I can
bring our subject matter to it + use it as an archive??as we then show
graphs, etc. for comparison of like subject + what needed, etc.??

inviting communities to welcome their students to come out of schoolroom +
into + with community restore it`s natural working potential, working with
respect for all life. welcoming those industries that leave negative
effects into a local tapering transition, working with
planning/health/agriculture/legislators, etc. so students co_evolve the
curriculum as they + teachers/staff/community regain good understanding to
become self-reliant, as they co_evolve with their local restoration, +
become a local, global + beyond responsible participant.

now making change as we reflect with our human family so they also have
means to become aware, as in Congo/Syria/Iran, etc. to also build
sustainable communities. ending the war mode + false green economies.. so
we actually show good reflection in peace negotiations. no more fragmented
corrupt science bought. rather we establish 1 good science language via
ecosystems/subject, so we all on same page. not allowing a world gov,
rather awareness of our human neuro network working in harmony within our
skin...

we feel our virtual tool will then bring forth resources eye to eye, to aid
all people left behind. as all then restore their community offerings in an
exchange as we trigger thought of working our previously set
aside/state/federal lands sensitively. giving all the life right to `boon
with the natural world + co_evolve our human potential as a human species.

so please confirm if I'm applicable + understood your format. for I will be
sharing this feedback to enable others also to understand. for I see some
of the pages are not appearing or no project yet or link opens to error,
etc.

sincerely, kara j lincoln

it is ideas like these that can share tools for us to address our local issues now with people, holding them accountable for their industries going beyond natures` limits... so we continue to collect so check back;

Greenpeace

    There are only two days left in the first public comment period on a decision that determines whether 67 million tons of global warming pollution stays in the ground.

The Department of the Interior (DOI) is about to let an Australian company called Ambre Energy dig up hundreds of acres of public lands to expand its West Decker Coal Mine. All for more of the dirtiest, most carbon-intensive fossil fuel on the planet.

The impact of this one mine is astonishing. Coal produced from the mine’s expansion would release as much carbon pollution as 14 million cars do in a year.

Ambre wants to keep these processes with the DOI quick, quiet and out of the public eye. But if we flood the DOI with public comments, we can shine a spotlight on this climate disaster to stop it from moving forward.

With only two days remaining before the first public comment period deadline, every comment counts. Make a comment now to keep millions of tons of coal in the ground where it belongs.

This coal mine isn’t just bad news for the climate. It’s also an exploitation of our public lands for corporate profits.

The federal coal leasing program run by the DOI has already given coal companies $29 billion in subsidies by selling the rights to publicly-owned coal for a fraction of what it’s worth.

Urge the EPA: Protect Bristol Bay!

New EPA Study: Impacts to Alaska’s Bristol Bay bigger than before!

Alaska’s Bristol Bay: the world’s greatest wild salmon fishery
 Year after year, millions of wild salmon return to Bristol Bay like no other place on earth. It provides 14,000 jobs for hard-working fishermen, sustains the Alaska Native people, and provides food for Alaska’s bears, bald eagles, beluga whales, and other wildlife.

NEW EPA study just out: impacts BIGGER than before
 The EPA has just released a new draft of its study on the impacts of mining to the Bristol Bay fishery. The new draft identifies even larger impacts to the salmon fishery from the proposed Pebble Mine, under routine operation. At maximum size studied, Pebble Mine would likely:
◾eliminate or block 90 miles of streams,
◾destroy 4,800 acres of wetlands, and
◾harm 34 miles of streams from reduced stream flow.

Speak for the salmon, call on the EPA to stop Pebble Mine!  Credit: Ben Knight

Urge the EPA: Protect Bristol Bay!
 The EPA has the authority under 404c of the Clean Water Act to prohibit the disposal of mine waste in the pristine waters of the Bristol Bay watershed if science shows that the fishery is at risk. The science is clear. It’s time to stop studying, and take action.

TAKE ACTION: We need you to speak out AGAIN. Urge the EPA and President Obama to take immediate steps to protect the world’s greatest wild salmon fishery.

Update on the Keystone XL Pledge of Resistance  

Pledge to Resist Keystone XL

As if we needed any more evidence that the Keystone XL pipeline should be rejected, this week the State Department inspector general launched an investigation into improper conflicts of interest between TransCanada and the contractor the State Department hired to write the environmental impact statement.

Contractor ERM twice misled the State Department when it was being hired for the project – first saying it had no relationship with TransCanada in the last three years (not true), then saying it was not an energy company (also not true), despite having worked on energy development research for the top five oil companies.1

CREDO Activists submitted nearly 200,000 comments on the State Department’s latest sham environmental review – but it’s becoming clear that going through the official channels likely won’t be enough to pressure the President to reject Keystone XL.

That’s why CREDO, Rainforest Action Network and the Other 98% launched the Keystone XL Pledge of Resistance. Already more than 60,000 activists have committed to risk arrest by engaging in peaceful and dignified acts of civil disobedience if the Obama administration takes the next step to approving Keystone XL, which is to issue a draft National Interest Determination that recommends approval.

Over the last two months, we've been laying the groundwork to prepare for what could become the biggest burst of civil disobedience in modern American history. It is a huge and complex undertaking but we believe preparing for mass civil disobedience is a necessary next step in our movement.

Since we launched the pledge in March, the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide broke 400 ppm for the first time in millions of years and in human history -- a somber milestone that greatly underscores the need to stop KXL and do everything in our power to prevent the tar-sands carbon bomb from being detonated. And, the President learned about your pledge when news of it was personally conveyed, face-to-face, to the President by CREDO's president and CEO.

 Committing to risk arrest in protest of Keystone XL is not something everyone can or should do. As a CREDO activist, we wanted to make sure you know what we are doing and planning for the months ahead. If the pledge of resistance is something you are ready to commit too, you can read the call to action and sign on here.  

No one really knows when the National Interest Determination (NID) – which, if it recommends approval would trigger our pledge of civil disobedience – will come. At first, conventional wisdom said it would come in the fall. Then President Obama said he could make the decision as early as this summer. And now the State Department is saying it could be many months more before the Environmental Impact Statement is finalized - which will trigger the 90-day process to issue the draft NID.

We have two goals over the coming months: To create enough pressure on President Obama through demonstrating our commitment and our numbers that he has no choice but to reject Keystone XL. And to build out our organizing capacity across the country such that, should the draft NID recommend approval of Keystone XL, we are ready to deploy a thousand acts of peaceful, dignified civil disobedience.

 Local action leader trainings in July: The heart of the Pledge of Resistance will be hundreds of volunteer-led, grassroots civil disobedience actions ready to be deployed at strategic targets around the country. It will take hundreds of activist leaders across the country to plan, lead and train others to participate in local civil disobedience actions. In order to train these local action leaders, we will run regional weekend trainings in 16 cities nationwide throughout July.

 First action in Chicago: To show that we are serious in our pledge, we will plan sit-in actions throughout the summer -- one or two a month -- in key targets around the country. These actions are intended as a demonstration of our commitment, and a small-scale "coming attraction" for the feature film we hope we'll never have to watch: tens of thousands of people getting arrested in the event of a draft NID recommending approval of Keystone XL. The first action will be a sit-in on Monday, June 17th, in President Obama's hometown of Chicago, where Obama supporters, volunteers, donors and even campaign staff will risk arrest.

This is just the beginning, and the next phase of this campaign is going to make this pledge even bigger. Whether you take the pledge or not, we'll keep you updated on this effort to escalate our pressure on President Obama to reject Keystone XL.

 If you are ready to take the next step – to take the pledge, or to volunteer to lead a local action in your community – click here to sign the pledge now.

Thanks for everything you are doing to fight Keystone XL.

Kara J,

Sara Ackerman marches against fracking in National HarborWhat a day!

First up: the People's Forum against fracking in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee was holding a hearing that did not include the voices of those affected, so we teamed up with the coalition at Stop the Frack Attack to hold our own forum. And what a forum it was as residents of several states recounted the damage fracking has done to their homes, land, and water. Like everyone who hears such stories, I could not help but be moved.

That's why it's so important that so many of you participated from afar, to amplify these stories even more. We projected on a screen many of the 200 stories our supporters submitted so the people at the hearing could hear your voices too, sharing your similar experiences, as well as the many thousands of people who supported them.

Then we hopped on a bus to the National Harbor in Fort Washington, Maryland so we could rally outside the Democratic Governors Association policy conference. Hundreds of us marched in the sweltering heat as the Governors wined and dined in comfort inside, including several who face key decisions on fracking. Among them, California's Jerry Brown, New York's Andrew Cuomo and Maryland's Martin O'Malley--three Governors that Environmental Action members have previously asked to ban fracking. They were joined by Colorado's John Hickenlooper and Illinois's Pat Quinn, who will also face crucial decisions over fracking in the months ahead.

They heard our voices, and Governor O'Malley even stopped to speak with us. But to be sure they got the message, we tweeted at each one of those 5 Governors with even more of your stories from each respective state.

We did all this because we are committed to bringing your voice to these decision makers any way we can. We join with other groups and coalitions like Food and Water Watch and Americans Against Fracking—all because fracking is so dirty and unnatural. And the stories you shared, from farmers to doctors to TV stars, remind us how in the end we all need clean water, clean air, and clean energy—But the destructive gas drilling known as fracking threatens all of that. Our fight as fracktivists bring us together, rural and urban, progressive and Tea Party, in ways I could not have imagined before today. Thank you for being a part of this day with me.  

And if you think we should keep doing days like this, while keeping you informed and a part of it, please click here to chip in a few bucks a month!
