it's fucking December I'm in Florida 1:20 am, falling asleep, outside, in a gazebo full of pillows and friends. I love my life right now and I'm not sure I'm ready to come to terms with the fact that I'm going home in 10 days.

first full day of thanksgiving break.
we're going to florida in a couple weeks for our expedition trip. I fucking hate florida and the damn beach and the hot sun but I'll be glad to get away for a little bit and experience a new place. I've never been to south florida, only orlando.
The expedition trip is mostly just to experience environmental devastation firsthand so we won't be doing a bunch of intense campaign work like we were in portland. I'm looking forward to the downtime.
I'm going home in 25 days, it seems sorta surreal. bittersweet I guess. I love the work we do here and the people I've met and I'm going to miss it terribly when it's over. This trip is our last hurrah as a team and it's a little unsettling, really. I have no idea where I'm going after this.
ice skating today and title fight/pbtt/single mothers show tonight, that's all I know and that's all I need
direct action training week w0000t
saw death grips last night w0000t
funtime (✿◠‿◠)
Doing some fucking presentation on PETA and the media that I just found out about yesterday and it's making me so angry I want to punch a wall
How am I supposed to present this and not go off on a tangent about opposition groups generating false statistics or how PETA isn't even a goddamn animal rights group anyway idfk
Here are two of the Greenpeace semester students, Jen and Alex, practicing some role play for the volunteer day of action today. Chris and Jen are facilitating a great day of canvassing with families from the local community that want to get involved in the Quit Coal Campaign. More info will be on its way as the day goes on and we spend some time with awesome North Carolinians! We were there.
We were there: coal facts
Marshall Coal Plant and Duke Energy buy their coal from mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia. Not only are the mountaintops destroyed completely, the people living in the region are in great danger. People living near a mountaintop removal site are 50% more likely to die from cancer and 42% more likely to be born with birth defects.
Visit http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/campaigns/global-warming-and-energy/coal/ for more info and ways to quit coal!
We were there.
Today we are going to the Marshall Coal Plant outside of Charlotte. This plant, owned by Duke Energy, has been polluting for 47 years and is one of the deadliest plants still being operated. It's pollution causes over two thousand asthma attacks and 131 deaths a year. Marshall also buys all its coal from mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia. This not only wipes out the tops of ancient mountains, but it is poisoning the people living there. Tell Duke to clean up their dirty energy at Marshall Coal Plant.

We are working for Quit Coal so that the rest of our mountains won't be dotted lines.
