“‘Green technology’ is so insidious. It’s feel good capitalism, people really think they’re changing the world. I’m sitting here in a new college built entirely from recycled materials. It’s high tech, is powered almost entirely through solar, and has cleaner air or some shit. When I look around me though nothing has changed. Not the state of the environment, or peoples mentality. Well, they might recycle more, and get others to recycle, but that hasn’t stopped Monsanto, or coal mining companies. People act like I’m insane in class when I bring this kind of stuff up; they really don’t want to come to terms with their entire philosophy still being exploitative and destructive to the planet. Oh, low flush toilets and environmentally friendly soap? We have those too.” Stephanie McGarrah, Occupy Oakland

Save a rare dolphin species!

The snubfin dolphin is an exceedingly rare species of dolphin - so rare that it was never even seen until 2005. Now, corporate greed is threatening to wipe it out.

An Xstrata coal port is being planned for Balaclava Island at the mouth of the Fitzroy River. A pod of some seventy snubfin dolphins currently call these clear waters home. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says that this pod could be completely eradicated in ten to twenty years if the proposed coal port moves forward.

Don’t sacrifice yet another Australian species for the sake of dirty coal!
