‘After Copenhagen’: a recent Transition Town Totnes event
Here is a short film about a recent event in Totnes, where people involved in TTT who had been in Copenhagen for COP15 and the Klimaforum shared their experiences. Thanks to the good people of the nu-project for making this film.China's Water Pollution Twice the Officially Listed Levels

A recent report from Reuters reveals some disturbing news about China: the water pollution levels recorded in the official reports were found to be merely half the actual levels. Meaning that China's water pollution is literally twice as bad as its government claime...Read the full story on TreeHugger

Even if take a step back and look at 12 Asian countries and Russia, it is estimated that only about 3,500 tigers are left in...Read the full story on TreeHugger
Constitutional Amendment Heating Up
Outside, Washington, D.C. is smothered in near-record amounts of snow. But inside - inside the halls of government, to be specific - things are heating up.What sparked the fire?
The Supreme Court ruled last month that corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money in our elections.
You already joined the fight to defend our democracy from a corporate takeover by signing Public Citizen's petition for a constitutional amendment to counteract this radical ruling.
I'm asking you to help grow the resistance by forwarding this email to 10 friends and family members and asking them to sign the petition, too.
We must preserve First Amendment rights for actual people and the press. The First Amendment was never intended to apply to artificial constructs like profit-hungry corporations.
Many members of Congress are introducing amendments and signaling their support, including Representatives Donna Edwards, John Conyers, Marcy Kaptur, Leonard Boswell and Dennis Kucinich, and Senators John Kerry, Arlen Specter and Chris Dodd.
A real movement is taking shape.
Our petition is already 45,000 citizens strong. People instinctively recognize the Supreme Court's decision for the disaster that it is.
But constitutional amendments do not come easy. We need a groundswell of support from every corner of the nation. We need hundreds of thousands of people to drive the legislative push in Congress.
The first step is building our petition.
Please forward this letter to at least 10 friends and family members today. Ask them to visit DontGetRolled.org and sign the petition, too.
Thank you,
Robert Weissman, President
