Last week, nearly 8,000 gallons of a chemical used in coal power plants spilled into West Virginia’s drinking water. But have you ever heard of a solar energy spill? This pic from The Other 98% is the only one we've seen.

ANOTHER WEEK OF SHOOTING DEATHS IN AMERICA: So far this week we've witnessed the 30th school shooting since Newtown by a 12-year-old in New Mexico; a Florida father was shot dead in a movie theater for texting during previews; a 5-year-old in Omaha was killed by a stray bullet while she was eating breakfast; two mothers, one in Florida and one in Utah, shot and killed their children and then committed suicide; and last night, in an Indiana super market, a gunman shot and killed two women and was pointing his semi-automatic weapon at a third victim when police took him down: http://tinyurl.com/n2zw57l. This is not happening in other developed countries. The horror and tragedy resulting from our lax gun laws can be stopped, but only if we collectively rise up and demand change. Concern, sadness and prayers aren't enough: you must act. Today. Join your state chapter now: http://momsdemandaction.org/join-us/

Oil Spills Leave Trinidad's Beaches Covered In Crude

At least 11 oil spills have crippled parts of Trinidad and Tobago, coating miles of beach with crude as the state-owned energy company scrambles to control what's being called one of the country's worst environmental disasters. Petrotrin, Trinidad's state-owned oil company, first responded to an
A state-owned pipeline in Trinidad that may not have been inspected for the past 17 years has spilled at least 7,000 barrels over 11 incidents in the past month.
Trinidad and Tobago is facing a major oil disaster right now. State-owned oil company Petrotrin has confirmed ELEVEN oil spills since December -- but the story gets dirtier.
The pipeline responsible for the first of the leaks may not have undergone any inspections for the past 17 years, despite a government audit in 2010. And while trying to cover-up the extent of the spills, Petrotrin claimed that at least two of them had been the work of saboteurs. Typical.

While climate deniers in Congress are trying to limit the EPA’s ability to address climate change, communities like Shishmaref, Alaska are living with its effects everyday. Rising sea levels and coastal erosion are causing so much damage, the village may have to relocate.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services may sound harmless, but this secretive wildlife-extermination agency is killing as many as 3 million coyotes, bears, beavers, foxes, birds, wolves and other native animals each year.
