We leave today for Madagascar.<br />
<br />
Sounds funny to say. I never expected to go to this island so far away from home, but the opportunity came up and we're thrilled. I've never been to Africa or Asia --only Europe and to Israel as a child. I know this will be very different.<br />
<br />
I'm traveling with my daughter, Olivia, her friend Gabrielle and her sister Lauren, and their mother Mickie. The girls are all in high school--Olivia and Gabrielle are rising seniors. Olivia is interested in global sustainable politics and gender studies and Gabrielle hopes to go into medicine. Lauren, a rising tenth grader, is coming a long to learn. <br />
<br />
We are going to the <a href="http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/centre-valbio/">Centre Valbio</a> in the Ranomafana National Park, the research site of Dr. Patricia Wright, a prize-winning anthropologist and primatologist, and one of the world's leading experts on lemurs. We'll be joining a summer study abroad class from Stony Brook University, and I'll jump in to teach ecofeminism. The college students left a few weeks ago with Dr. Wright. <br />
<br />
At the moment all I can think of is packing lists--and it's quite extensive. The forest is quite wet, so everything must be lined in plastic. We will need so many things like Dr. Bronner's soap for washing our bodies and clothes (biodegradable and not harmful to the environment), towels, sleeping bags, rain gear from head to toe, binoculars, waterproof watches, wide variations of clothes and shoes, and yet the airlines are so restrictive about weight. Don't bring anything you don't mind losing or getting destroyed, the instructions say. I'm so used to packing super light, but for this trip, we'll need many supplies.<br />
<br />
I've got a new camera with a great lens for filming wildlife. I hope it survives the humidity!<br />
<br />
Be prepared for culture shock, the instructions say.<br />
<br />
We're leaving the western world soon in few hours.<br />
<br />
It's a thirty hour trip to the forest. A stop in Paris, and then to the city of 'Tana', Madagascar; a night in Tana sleeping, and then off to meet the students and Pat Wright in the forest.<br />
<br />
I'll be writing here with updates of our trip. I will post pictures, too.<br />
<br />
Back to packing!<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Helen walked into my feminism, literature, and culture class
a few years ago and announced immediately, “I’m a single mom.” Fiercely proud
and strong in demeanor, she also came across as childlike with her petite figure,
round baby face, bright blue eyes, and high-pitched powdery voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was Helen’s story: she had gotten
pregnant in high school; her drug-addicted and mentally ill parents threw her
out of the house; high school teachers and advisors vilified her. The
boyfriend-father vanished and barely helped out financially.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Helen went to live with relatives who had
plenty of children already and couldn’t help support her or pay college
tuition. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Helen studied hard, made her
way to university, where she raised her little girl, Anna, in a campus
apartment. Campus life was good to Helen: she used the highly rated day care
center and didn’t need a car--which she could not afford. Helen told her story
with great pride, and many of her responses to our class readings circled back
to single parenting issues. For Helen’s final project, she wrote a book
entitled, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For My Daughter</i>, about how
pregnant teens deserve to make the choice to become mothers and to be treated
respectfully by society in return—not judged, not bullied, nor ‘othered’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was full of love for her daughter. All of
her work in class was solid—she labored intensively over homework projects and
the reading content.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was an ideal
student. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Helen got an A.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I honored Helen’s position and choice. She was doing all she
could as a single and, essentially, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">orphaned</i>
mom—Helen held a job and was earning a BA, and she appeared to be a present,
loving parent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In class, on Facebook and
to me privately she recounted parenting stories of art, sewing, and baking
projects, book reading, and taking her daughter to the beach and parks. I’d see
Helen and her daughter around campus—on their own or with a group of college student
friends who lavished attention on little Anna. Anna bubbled and smiled, and
appeared secure and happy. Clearly, Helen was doing a good parenting job.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So when Helen posted a plea for help to get through her last
semester on GoFundMe, as she explained that she’d run out of scholarship and
loans, and her salary alone would not be enough to cover tuition and campus
residency, I wanted to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mother and
child would have to leave their apartment soon if she didn’t come up with the
funds. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would be homeless. So I donated
and passed the link around on social media. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Helen raised all she needed and will graduate
this spring. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, she was admitted
to a graduate program, which she plans to attend this fall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But then, the other day, I saw her post a photograph on
Facebook that took me aback: a sonogram photo of a new baby on the way. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt myself judging her. I wanted to say to Helen, but
didn’t: Pregnant again? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You still have a
young child. Your career and income stream are not set yet, and you are
carrying loans. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this fair to the
child you already have, and now there will be a second? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My reaction to the pregnancy surprised me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fully supported Helen all along the way up
until now. I understood the decision to keep and raise her first baby. A teen
might make a mistake and get pregnant and that could be forgiven. Why call it a
“mistake” at all? Isn’t this a sexist view coming out of a history of
patriarchy in which men own children and women’s bodies? Why is it anyone’s
business how a young woman uses her body sexually or if she decides to parent and
with whom? I reasoned that this should all be Helen’s choice, and society
should not penalize her—especially as Helen clearly made every effort to get a
solid education and to parent well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all know of the waning of the traditional <a href="http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/12/22/less-than-half-of-u-s-kids-today-live-in-a-traditional-family/">heterosexual
nuclear family</a>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Families and come in
all shapes and sizes these days: LGBT parents, mixed-race families, blended
families, and children are born through complex variations of reproductive methods
and biological/non-biological gendered parenting combinations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over forty-percent of children are raised by
unmarried parents. The possibilities in this brave new baby creation and
childrearing world are endless, and the traditional heterosexual family unit doesn’t
have a lock on love or good parenting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still, the sonogram photograph disturbed me. I wasn’t sure
why, especially given my feminist view of mothering. I told a female friend
this story and she asked, “Perhaps you feel betrayed? You supported Helen.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No, it’s not betrayal I feel, nor is it judgment, I realized.
It is the older mother in me, wanting to protect Helen and her children. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet I also know that this is Helen’s body and life to live, not
mine. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy graduation.</div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am concerned about Indian Point Nuclear Power plant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's
so easy to forget. It's easy to worry about my daughter, who has some
kind of sinus infection; she keeps coughing; she has finals; we're worried about college admissions. There are dishes to wash. There is laundry to fold. There are papers to grade.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
I am concerned about Indian Point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's
so easy to forget. I know there is an abundance of unsafely
stored spent fuel there--sitting in overcrowded pools, more fuel rods
than the pools were designed to hold, and the longer the reactors run,
the more spent fuel there will be. I don't think people know about the spent
fuel issue and storage. They just stay, "Oh dear, Yucca Mountain didn't
work out because of politics." They don't think, "How in the heck
would one even get all the spent fuel from all over the U.S. safely TO
Yucca Mountain?" That's "IF" Yucca Mountain were safe for containing nuclear waste, which it's not (geological studies show us this),
and there's no other plan at the moment for long-term safe storage of nuke waste. Meanwhile, there is <i>forty years' worth of nuclear waste stored at Indian Point and twenty million lives at risk. </i>They are expecting earthquakes--7 on the Richter Scale (<a href="http://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/2235">Columbia University Study</a>) and the plant is not built to withstand such seismic activity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
I am concerned about Indian Point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's easy to forget. I wake up and think, "I must do something." The day gets busy. Driving. Work. Teaching. Meetings. Just the other day there was a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/09/us/new-york-nuclear-plant-fire/">transformer fire</a> there. It was in the news. It barely got anyone's attention.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
I am concerned about Indian Point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's
so easy to forget. Yet I think of Japan. My friends in Japan can't
understand why New Yorkers are not afraid. They look at me with pity in their eyes and
ask, "What are you all doing about Indian Point? Don't you realize how
much danger you are in!" Nobody thought Fukushima would blow. Well, a
few did. Mostly women. They tried to alert the government, they worked hard to
reduce the amount of <a href="http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/Nuclear-Fuel-Cycle/Fuel-Recycling/Mixed-Oxide-Fuel-MOX/">MOX fuel</a> used (a plutonium mix) in the reactors. But nobody expected a Tsunami and
Earthquake to cause three core meltdowns. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am concerned about Indian Point.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's so
easy to forget. Oh New York City. Nothing is meant to last. I could
take a Buddhist approach. Maybe Americans are really Buddhists, after
all. Nothing matters to us. It's all Samsara. That irks me. Perhaps nothing lasts, but the massive suffering we cause with our hubris and greed is not acceptable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
I am concerned about Indian Point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's
so easy to forget. They are going to run a new high pressure and potentially explosive natural gas line approximately 1500 feet from reactors 2 and 3 and only several hundred feet from the spent fuel rods.* I should <i>do something</i>. What? What? Protest FERC. <a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">FERC</a> approved this pipeline. People I know are protesting. Artists and parents and citizens are rising. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am concerned about Indian Point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's so easy to forget. The nuke plant seems far away. Nothing happened at Three Mile Island, that's the chant. Fukushima isn't so bad. Nothing much happened at Chernobyl. Secrets and Lies. Amnesia and cover ups. So many other spills and leaks and accidents that have few have heard of. It's hard to imagine
such a disaster happening here. It's spring. The birds are singing. A <a href="http://www.christiantoday.com/article/us.appeals.court.orders.release.of.nuclear.activist.nun/54046.htm">nuclear nun </a>was just released from two years in prison for protesting at Oak Ridge. What's Oak Ridge you might ask? We can't smell or taste radiation, so maybe it's a science fiction story. Maybe ionizing radiation doesn't exist at all. Maybe cancer is a dream. Maybe children with leukemia don't exist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It's so very, very easy to forget. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
My head explodes with fear when I remember.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
If you'd like to remember and learn, read these two important articles by <a href="http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30234-doing-the-unthinkable-giant-gas-pipeline-to-flank-a-new-york-nuclear-power-plant">Ellen Cantrow</a> and <a href="http://www.alternet.org/environment/why-earth-did-feds-approve-high-pressure-gas-pipeline-near-nuke-plant">Alison Rose Levy</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Or, speak up at the <a href="http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/news/2015/15-022.i.pdf">May 20th Nuclear Regulatory Commission meeting. 6:30 in Tarrytown, NY. Make your voice heard.</a> Keep in mind: We don't even need Indian Point (it only produces 5% of NYC's electricity) and the Governor of New York has said the plant (on its own) poses such a great safety risk that it should be shut down.** </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Or, get <a href="http://sape2016.org/">involved</a> with SAPE (see below). They are working hard to stop the Algonquin/Spectra gas pipeline that threatens millions of lives. They need your help. </span><br />

*The newly approved 42" diameter high pressure gas pipeline will run 105 feet from vital structures at Indian Point e.g. jet fuel tank and switch yard.<br />
The pipeline will be located several hundred feet from 40 years of spent fuel rods, and about 1500 feet from Reactors 2 and 3.<br />
**We don't need IP for electricity in New York, even though Entergy claims we do. NYC gets about 5% of its electricity from the plant and the rest is sold elsewhere. <br />

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
My mother was part of <a href="http://jwa.org/thisweek/nov/01/1961/wsfp" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Women Strike For Peace</a><i> </i>in the early 1960s and, along with thousands of other women across the U.S., she helped put an end to above-ground nuclear bomb testing. Women Strike For Peace organized in response to the <a href="http://www.stlmag.com/How-to-Stop-a-Nuclear-Bomb-The-St-Louis-Baby-Tooth-Survey-50-Years-Later/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">St. Louis Baby Tooth Study</a>, which revealed that <a href="http://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/strontium.html" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Strontium-90</a> released from nuclear bomb tests in Nevada had contaminated cow and human breast milk and poisoned children’s bodies across the country. Horrified mothers rose up in protest and their efforts led, in large part, to the <a href="http://www.state.gov/t/isn/4797.htm" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty</a> in 1963. In later years, my mother and father participated in the <a href="http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/1636" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Nuclear Freeze </a>movement to ban nuclear weapons and shut down nuclear power plants in the U.S.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
So, when <i>three</i> <a href="http://www.thewire.com/global/2011/07/meltdown-what-really-happened-fukushima/39541/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Fukushima nuclear power plant meltdowns</a> occurred after March 11, 2011, my eyes and ears were peeled to any and all news I could find about the accident.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Not surprisingly, I found that most activism post-Fukushima was led by women and mothers. One such activist is Aileen Mioko Smith—mother, grandmother and executive director of <a href="http://www.greenaction-japan.org/modules/entop2/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Green Action</a><i>—</i>whom I have interviewed several times over the years. Smith is also co-author with her ex-husband, photojournalist Eugene Smith, of <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Minamata-Poisoning-People-Burden-Courage/dp/0030136318/ref=pd_cp_b_0" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Minamata: The Story of the Poisoning of a City, and of the People Who Chose to Carry the Burden of Courage</a></em>, the book that exposed the damaging health effects of mercury pollution in Minamata Bay, Japan. In working to help the Minamata survivors with their 14-year lawsuit (which they eventually won) Smith learned that, “No matter how hard it is, and no matter how many times you lose, you will win. There will be some measure of justice.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<a href="https://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=12256" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="ms ad" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-102284" height="250" src="http://msmagazine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/ms-ad-300x250.jpg" style="border: 4px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 1px;" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
On March 28, 1979, Unit 2 at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, located near Middletown, Pennsylvania, had a partial meltdown. Mitsuru Katagiri, the translator of Smith’s Minamata book—a university professor and anti-nuclear activist—went to the site with a scientist and lawyer to investigate. When Mitsuru’s team returned to Japan, they reported that the situation on the ground was quite different than official statements which claimed no harm had been done. Mitsuru’s team, Smith says, heard and saw a different story: the locals near the nuclear plant noticed strange tastes and smells. Then, later on, their animals became sick and many people had strange ailments.<strong> </strong>Smith then traveled to Pennsylvania with Katagiri where she spent several months <a href="http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/new-revelations-about-three-mile-island-disaster-raise-doubts-over-nuclear-plant-safety/Content?oid=1215165" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">interviewing</a> 250 citizens affected by the accident.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
The interviewees in Pennsylvania repeatedly asked the research team about nuclear power in Japan: “Well, there must be no plants in Japan because you have earthquakes?” These inquiries stirred Smith, because Japan did, indeed, have nuclear power plants and the country is very earthquake-prone.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
When Smith returned to Japan, she turned her full attention to the anti-nuclear cause. In 1988, Smith <a href="http://www.nuclear-free-future.com/en/award-presentation/laureates/aileen-mioko-smith/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">helped</a> collect 4 million signatures calling for a ban on nuclear power. In 2004, she <a href="http://www.nuclear-free-future.com/en/award-presentation/laureates/aileen-mioko-smith/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">made</a> the public aware of the government’s attempt to pass on the cost of reprocessing <a href="http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/Nuclear-Fuel-Cycle/Fuel-Recycling/Mixed-Oxide-Fuel-MOX/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">MOX fuel</a> (plutonium-uranium mixed oxide) through citizen tax dollars at a cost of 8 trillion yen (about $66 billion). For years, Smith’s team worked diligently to achieve the now-de-facto moratorium on highly dangerous MOX fuel in commercial nuclear plants in Japan. In 2010, she helped lead a large movement warning of the dangers of nuclear power—especially in high-risk earthquake areas such as Fukushima. After the 2011 Fukushima disaster, Smith protested the restart of nuclear plants in Japan and participated in countless anti-nuclear rallies, legal battles, and presentations before politicians and corporate boards. In one large anti-nuclear Occupy event in 2012 (pictured above), Smith’s team and many others camped out for over 10 months in front of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI). At the end of the Occupy period, the women danced in celebration. Smith is pictured with them in the center.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Is nuclear power in Japan a gender issue? “Absolutely,” Smith affirms. “[Japanese] leadership is [dominated] by men. The nuclear industry and … officials working on nuclear issues, including government officials, local government officials … and, of course, the utility people … are 100 percent men. Well, maybe now there are a couple of women, so 99 percent men.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Most people in Japan do not question this gender inequity, as the dominance of men over women in Japanese culture is so embedded.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Smith believes that to avoid accidents, the gender inequality needs to change. Currently, anti-nuclear activists and those watching out for safety issues in Japan are mostly women and many mothers from Fukushima. Yet they have little political power. Women activists have to go up against male politicians and male members of the nuclear industry. Overwhelmingly, women’s arguments are silenced, Smith says. But they fight on.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Aileen Mioko Smith comes from a long line of anti-nuclear mothers and feminist activists. Women’s History Month falls in March, the month of the Fukushima disaster in 2011. We honor Smith’s and other women activists’ ongoing efforts to protect the lives of the people in Japan, especially the children, on whose behalf she works tirelessly to safeguard their health and future.</div>

My seventeen-year old daughter, Olivia and I traveled to Northern California for winter holiday break. Olivia is in the throws of an intense “junior year” of high school, while I’m busy with my work as a professor. This vacation gave us a chance to catch up and reconnect – take stock and also have fun.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One Sunday morning, while enjoying an Asian Fusion brunch in foodie-land San Francisco, Olivia asked me:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #eae9e5; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px rgb(54, 11, 1); color: #262626; float: left; font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 5px 25px 25px 0px; outline: none; padding: 20px 0px 20px 25px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline; width: 712.5999755859375px;">
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #360b01; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“You work so hard on environmental issues, Mom. How do you know all those hours will pay off?”</em></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When Olivia was three, she held up a sign that read: “Don’t Spray on Me.” This particular protest was about the spraying of Malathion (a powerful and carcinogenic pesticide) by New York State during a West Nile Virus outbreak. It was the late 1990s and she was barely out of diapers.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These days, she has become more considered. A teenager’s job is to question everything. To Olivia’s question about whether my hard work will pay off, I replied:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #eae9e5; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px rgb(54, 11, 1); color: #262626; float: left; font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 5px 25px 25px 0px; outline: none; padding: 20px 0px 20px 25px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline; width: 712.5999755859375px;">
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #360b01; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“When you have asked me that before — ‘Does activism work, Mom, aren’t you just spinning your wheels?’ — I’ll be honest: it made me a tad defensive. Yet, I pointed out to you that historically it has been activists who brought us so many successful and important freedoms that we take for granted today — the women’s right to vote and equal gender access to education and more, the end of slavery for African Americans, Civil Rights, many LGBT rights, the Clean Air and Water Acts, and so on. People acted and stood up for what they knew was right and, eventually, they won.</em> <em style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Even as I said this to you, Olivia, part of me worried that we wouldn’t succeed. Today, however, I feel more hopeful! I say to you with confidence, ‘Yes, environmental advocacy works. Look at what a year we’ve had!’”</em></div>
</blockquote>

In September, 2014, as mother and daughter, and with many of my students, faculty, and friends, we marched together in September in NYC at the<a href="http://peoplesclimate.org/" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #990000; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">People’s Climate March</a>, among the throngs of 400, 000.

--> When it comes to the environment and all that we face today,
many of us are dogged with doubt—are we doing it right and can we really turn
this ship around?
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We work hard, mostly in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">dark</i>. Hoping our work will bear fruit. Trusting, because there is
no other way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my own case, as much as I wave the hope banner-–there are
private moments of doubt and despair. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As if to answer these questions, I was recently sent a much
needed positive <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sign</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s not often that we get to see our activist efforts
rewarded in concrete ways and certainly not within twenty-four hours. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s what happened:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kristen Iversen, author of <a href="http://www.kristeniversen.com/about-the-book"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Full Body Burden</i></a>, was scheduled to visit my campus at Stony
Brook University, on Tuesday, April 29, 2014.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The plan was for Kristen to meet with my class in the morning and, later
in the afternoon, she would give a lecture to the university at large. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The night before Kristen’s visit, the plans changed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At 10 p.m. on Monday evening, I received an urgent message
from my friend, Patti Wood, co-founder with her husband Doug Wood of <a href="http://grassrootsinfo.org/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Grassroots
Environmental Education</i></a>. The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Grassroots</i>
team works tirelessly on many environmental causes including Fractavism. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Patti’s urgent plea: Would I, as the Director of Sustainability
Studies at Stony Brook University, speak before the New York Suffolk County legislature
on behalf of the bill being proposed banning the importation, sale or use of all
radioactive and toxic fracking waste in Suffolk County the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">next morning at 9:00 am in Riverhead</i>? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Patti was concerned that the gas lobbyists had
won over too many of the legislators and my presence was needed. Here was the
hitch: my class was scheduled to meet at 10:20, and Kristen Iversen was
visiting for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Riverhead is
almost an hour from campus and who knew how long the event would last at the
legislature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What should I do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
schedule with Kristen had been set months before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet, what was most important? Keeping the schedule as it had
been set, or saving the place where I live from poisonous fracking waste? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How could I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> go
and try to stop the polluting of my county? This is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everything</i> I work for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gas
industry intended to push our local politicians into applying radioactive
radium 226 and 228, radon and other toxic material onto our roads as de-icer and
dumping it in ill-equipped and unsafe waste locations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The material would inevitably end up in our
water, soil, and farmland. Radium 226 emits gamma rays that travel long
distances.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I wrote to Kristen about my predicament and asked if she
might want to go with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kristen
immediately said yes. She wanted to speak, too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Full
Body Burden</i> is about the dangers of plutonium pollution and the nuclear
weapons factory Rocky Flats. I then wrote to two students who are very well
versed in the subject of fracking waste and asked them to join us. They eagerly
agreed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My class would run with my TAs
and co-teacher, a visiting filmmaker, Dave Chameides. The students would come
see Kristen’s talk later that afternoon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kristen, Andi and Cory (my students), and I met up with Patti
Wood and many others. We were each given three minutes to speak. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was one of the most empowering moments of
my life—speaking directly to politicians who would vote on our fate, about the need
to preventatively protect our children and future generations from exposure to radioactive
and toxic waste that would last thousands of years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next morning I got the message: the bill banning all fracking
waste in Suffolk County had passed. A few weeks later, the same bill would pass
in Nassau County.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before putting Kristen on the train to New York City, I shared
this stunning information. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were both ecstatic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the next few days Kristen spoke at New York City High
School <a href="http://hibakushastories.org/">Hibakusha Stories</a> events honoring
Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors and educating young people about the dangers
of nuclear weapons, waste and power. Kristen told the students about our radioactive
and toxic fracking waste victory and they clapped wildly. I chimed in, too, and
students reacted the same. Seeing the young peoples’ joyful responses made our
small but important action so worthwhile. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yes, activism makes a
difference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, all those drops
together add up to an ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, cast
your seeds and they will grow.</i></div>

It was a rainy day, but the sun came out by the end of our walk. The clouds were vast and billowy, and the water on the sound became flat, shiny-- like one big mirror. I lay down on the ground, turned my head sideways and looked at the meeting of sky and water. The angle was so different: I might have been dead or something or at least on another plain. I made my friend do the same. We were like children, exploring the light and seeing the world in a different way.<br />

I developed breasts and my life changed. Thirteen years old. Life was never safe again.<br />
<br />
This writing is a long time coming.<br />
<br />
It's something I don't speak easily about. All that harassment. It's embarrassing. It's humiliating. Best left forgotten. I'm so well trained to please men, to not offend others; I have tucked it under and swept it under. Still it seeps out. <br />
<br />
Nobody likes an angry person--especially an angry woman.<br />
<br />
This is it. Here goes. Here goes the explosion. Will I post it? I don't know.<br />
<br />
Thirteen years old. I got my period. I got large breasts. They appeared. I don't even know the moment it happened, but all in the sudden, my breasts were big. As one teenaged girl informed me--and this was the moment I first knew, "Your boobs are HUGE."<br />
<br />
I looked down at my chest and would never feel the same about myself for the rest of my life. <br />
<br />
Men on the street knew before I knew.<br />
<br />
Summer of my thirteenth year, walking with my brother and Dad in Athens, Greece, I was wearing shorts and t-shirt. It was 1970 something and a hundred degrees outside. My shorts were too short but nobody warned me that in Greece, girls shouldn't dress like that. What did I know: I saw myself as a child--who would care about me? I suddenly felt the violence, the onslaught of attention, and it terrified me. Men stared. Men grabbed. Men tried to get at me, even with my father and brother there. I put myself between my father and brother, holding their arms. Still, the men jeered with hostility. My brother and father didn't see--or if they did, they were silent.<br />
<br />
When we got back to the U.S. from our European trip that summer, my older sister, who hadn't traveled with us, immediately noticed the size of my breasts and that I wasn't wearing the right-sized bra. She gave me one of her larger ones to wear. I felt like a baby who had large breasts strapped to her, oddly marking her. I didn't identify with them or see myself as any different, but now I was all BREASTS. I wasn't me anymore, not to others.<br />
<br />
For years, I couldn't walk anywhere without being whistled at, hissed at, or without having strange and disgusting oral sounds muttered at me on the street. This was/is just part of being a young woman. Once, when I was fifteen or so, when a guy in a truck drove by and made a lewd comment, I yelled, "fuck you," at him and flipped the bird. I told my mother afterwards and she said that it was wrong of me to be so rude.<br />
<br />
At seventeen, I lost a career in the theatre as an actress. I was a member of one of the most prestigious theatre companies in the U.S. It was my big break. In acting, you rely on breaks such as these. Backstage, during the production of <i>Our Town</i>, this big breasted little sister Rebecca (me), wearing a little girl dress, waited with her big brother George (over 30), in a small side area just off the stage. It was cramped and dark and we had to sit quietly and right next to each other until our entrance (all through rehearsals and six weeks of performances--seven days a week, with two matinees). While we waited for our scene in this dark little corner (where the audience could hear everything), George's hand would go up my thigh under my dress. George had bad breath and bad teeth. I would slap him away, but the next day/night, he'd do it again. After his hand crawling, we'd make our entrance, and do our oh so sweet sister and brother scene together, where I would talk about my friend's (Jane Crofut's) strange letter that she'd received from her sick minister-- how it was addressed to her street address and then to the universe and the mind of God, and how it got to her house anyway. It's a speech I will never forget. Not because it was my grand moment on the stage in my small part, or that it bought me good reviews; but because good ole' George was there with me, breathing his nasty breath, raining on my parade.<br />
<br />
Big brother George from <i>Our Town</i> and his hand. I told no one. Who could I tell?<br />
<br />
Then there was Lorenzo, in the next play called, <i>Rep!</i>. A play about the theatre company itself. Written by a famous author. We got to schmooze the the local theatre elite in making this one. It was so exciting. I was the "Intern." Our parts were all true to life. I even had a scene where the "Director" tried to kiss me. The guy playing "the Director" could tell I didn't like him at all (he smelled, never took off his make up and had a coating of it perpetually on his neck and the edge of his face). I hated the stage kiss, would do it reluctantly, and once herr Director yelled at me after the scene because he could tell. Then there was Lorenzo the heroin addict in his forties, married with children. We had a scene in which we were supposed to face out and look at the audience. Lorenzo had to stand directly behind me. Day after day, night after night, through rehearsals, and in performances, as we stood in position, facing the audience, he would whisper closely into my ear, "I want to fuck you. I want to fuck you." He said it in such a way that really meant, "I control you." I couldn't move. I was told to stand in that spot by the director. It's called "blocking." An actor has to stand where they are told. Who could I complain to? Lorenzo was the serious and well respected actor. I was the lucky teenage girl, lucky to be in this play. He did this one night with his wife directly in front of us as we faced the audience. "I want to fuck you," he whispered with his wife looking on.<br />
<br />
In real life, off stage, when the show was over, the real director and founder of the theatre company would ask me to come over to talk at his apartment. I would go. I never drank and nothing <i>ever</i> happened. He would drink and talk and talk. He would tell me about my talent. He said I was "green" but would one day be like the leading older actress whom everyone admired. Sometimes he invited another actor, an older man to come with us. They would talk shop. I never wanted to go, but I felt I couldn't say no. Wasn't it an honor that the director of the company invited me over? He never touched me. But it was clear that he was offering me a choice: become his girlfriend and become a star, or ... I didn't know what. Nothing. I would be nothing. He was an old man to me. Grey beard, grey hair. A drunk. He was important. I was seventeen.<br />
<br />
The women in the theatre company scorned me. I wanted to turn to them for help, but they didn't like me. They saw me as what--a potential competitor? It became so difficult to navigate these waters--drunk famous actors, non-drunk ones who looked at me with scorn for being trapped in others' nets, constantly saying no, and yet feeling dirtied anyway, as if this were all my fault--even though I had done nothing. I just wanted to act.<br />
<br />
It was my big break. I left this theatre and my big break because of those men. I never had such an opportunity again. <br />
<br />
* * * <br />
<br />
There was high school and a rape. I told my girlfriends. They were so used to hearing these stories, they didn't blink.<br />
<br />
There were the teachers and the affairs with students. Everyone just took it for granted. The attitude was, "so what." People involved begged me to <i>never write of it</i>. I complied. I still comply to save face for others. I am complicit.<br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
The man in the subway in Paris. I was sixteen. He walked right up to me, put his hand on my breast and stared angrily into my eyes.<br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
The man with the gun who got off the bus in Oakland, California, tapped on the window and aimed the weapon at my face. The look on his face frightened me for years. I would dream of his anger, his steely eyes.<br />
<br />
* * * <br />
<br />
The owner of the restaurant where I was a waitress in New York at South Street Seaport. Three handsome young male Italian owners. Some said they were Mafia, what did they know of restaurants? This one had a wife who appeared occasionally in a mink coat. He had a waitress mistress, too, whom he kept in an special apartment. She told me about it. He'd come up behind me when I was picking up dishes, and slip his hand across my breasts. If I said anything, he'd fire me.<br />
<br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
The man at the party with the live-in girlfriend. A neighbor of my friend. I was nineteen. He walked up to me. Put his hand full-on my breast. Walked away. No one saw.<br />
<br />
* * * <br />
<br />
The men (mostly married) in my building in Soho when I was in my early twenties (they were in their forties, with children) who hit on me endlessly. It was a cooperative artists' building. We painted our own hallways, put up walls in the basement. I had to pass them every day as I walked up four flights and they never stopped hastling me. They were not so different from the men in trucks who hissed and yelled obscenities. One, who wasn't married (yet), a well-known architect, never mentioned his girlfriend or impending engagement; he asked me on a date only a few days before the celebrations. It was summer. I could hear his party from my apartment. Loud music. What was the party for, I asked a female neighbor--"oh, he's getting married, didn't you know?"<br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
There is more. I will stop here. Every woman and girl must have this list. <br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
Years later, I went back to college, and in graduate school became a scholar of 18th-century literature. I focused on women writers (as well as on race and colonialism). Lost women writers. Important women writers in their day.<br />
<br />
Dale Spender, a feminist scholar, says: there are a '100 great English novelists before Jane Austen'.<br />
<br />
That was the work I entered into in graduate school--to <i>recover</i> these important writers---to give them voice. Yet, despite years of hard work among many scholars, do you know their names?<br />
<br />
Of course you don't.<br />
<br />
Here are few of that 100: Aphra Behn (very prolific and popular playwright in her day, probably wrote the first English novel, and the first English woman to earn her living by the pen), Eliza Haywood, Frances Burney, Frances Sheridan (mother to the famous playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan), Maria Edgeworth, Elizabeth Inchbald, Sarah Scott and many more. There were playwrights, poets, and nonfiction writers of political essays, too. These women writers influenced Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf, they deeply influenced the canonized male writers of their day--but they are rarely taught in college today (I had to fight to teach them) and their work is hard to locate for the layperson. We have brought back some of their books back into print, but these are published mostly by small independent presses, ones you don't know about unless you're a scholar. <i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>The vast majority of their writing is not available to buy anywhere.</i><br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
#YesAllWomen. <br />
<br />
These 18th-century women writers wrote openly about rape, abortion, forced marriages, abusive husbands, fathers and brothers, forced prostitution, venereal disease, death from childbirth, fathers who sold them off to men for profit, violence against women. These women authors were honest, real, and <i>very popular</i> in their day, and they were a major part of the new genre at that time: the novel. I have plenty of research and evidence to prove that the novel is a female form and a female form that expressed the real condition of women. They have important stories to tell.<br />
<br />
These women writers were silenced. <br />
<br />
<br />
#YesAllWomen.<br />
<br />
* * * <br />
<br />
This is my story, or part of my story. I don't pretend that my own tales are unique or special. I tell these vignettes to break the silence and perhaps this will help others. There are far worse stories than mine: childbrides, girls dead from rape, gang rapes, wife beating, child beating, women and girls shot at, strangled, kidnapped, and locked away, girls forced into sex trafficking, mass murders, women shut out of education and equal treatment in the workplace, women hating themselves because of misogyny, and living failed, broken lives, and of course the insidious self-hatred, and self-repression brought about by the beauty myth. <br />
<br />
In my case, I have conquered sexism to a large extent. I'm not a girl anymore and I have the tools learned from years of feminist study. I have a room of my own, a checkbook of my own, legal status of my own. Nobody "owns" me. That's huge. I stand on the shoulders of the feminists before me. <br />
<br />
Still, I carry the wounds. What damage has misogyny done to me, to my sisters, to my daughter? How has this sexist world impacted my/our relationships, heart, soul? What joy or creativity has been lost?<br />
<br />
Who can say?<br />
<br />
Sexism permeates us all so deeply. Sexism silences fifty percent of the population. Sexism is a future denied, cultures vastly diminished.<br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
I have a teenaged daughter. She loves acting and the theatre. She's in France right now, performing in a play. No surprise, I have strongly discouraged her from pursuing an acting career. "Go into the sciences," I tell her. "But I hate science," she quips back. "Okay, well, if you go into the theatre," I insist, "be the director or writer, not the girl who is chosen for her looks, who is at the mercy of others telling her where to stand and how to move."<br />
<br />
Be the <i>girl who does her own directing</i>--that is what I wish for my own daughter.<br />
<br />
Don't be at the mercy of men or anyone for that matter.<br />
<br />
* * *<br />
<br />
I will publish this after all. <br />
<br />
These stories must be told and violence against women must stop.<br />
<br />
Instead of being like those actresses in the theatre company who did not stand up for me when their support was direly needed, I will speak up now, as millions, no billions, suffer worldwide.<br />
<br />
I must speak out against misogyny, violence, and oppression in any form.<br />
<br />
#YesAllWomen. All women.<br />

My friends. I've missed you.<br />
<br />
I have missed writing here, too, and I feel remiss for not having done so.<br />
<br />
I made a commitment to myself in the fall of 2013, before writing more here, and before writing for magazines, I had to finish my book, <i>Polluting Mama: An Ecofeminist Memoir </i>(Toronto: Demeter Press, 2014) I did! Yes, I did! I wrote every morning from 4:00 a.m. until 6:30 a.m. (sometimes starting even earlier), woke up my daughter and then drove her to school. Depending on my work schedule, I'd head back to more writing later in the day/eve, but I have had a lot of other responsibilities this year, so the writing had to take place mostly in the wee hours. <br />
<br />
I did it, I did it. The book is done! <br />
<br />
I am making small revisions now and it will be out early fall--in print and on kindle. I'm so excited. Those who have read the work like it very much and I hope you will, too.<br />
<br />
It was an exhilarating academic year.<br />
<br />
Last June, 2013, I took over directing the <a href="http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/sustainability/"><i>Sustainability Studies Program</i></a> at Stony Brook University and it rocked my life. What an opportunity this has been to make a real "environmental" difference in the lives of our students at Stony Brook and beyond. We brought many speakers to the University this year and into our classrooms--Sandra Steingraber, Michel Gelobter, Micheal Dorsey, Joni Adamson, Kristen Iversen, Dave Chameides, David Cassuto, Carl Safina, Desi K. Robinson, along with many others. These folks spoke to us about a variety of environmental issues including fracking, radioactive waste, nuclear weapons and Rocky Flats, environmental justice, food justice, animal rights and factory farming, and climate change. In my eco media class, Dave Chameides (film guy and two-time Emmy- Award winner) taught my students how to make environmental short films and I'm so pleased with the results (see below!). We had an environmental film series, too, and showed a great selection of films including <i>Earth 2100</i>, <i>Fierce Green Fire</i>, <i>Bidder 70</i>, <i>No Impact Man</i>, <i>Food Inc</i>, <i>No family History, Atomic States of America... and more....</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
So much happened this academic year, it's impossible to capture it all in one blog entry... One of the highlights was speaking at my local legislature to oppose the importation of radioactive fracking waste from Pennsylvania and Ohio to Suffolk County. I encouraged many others to join me, including two students, Cory Tiger and Andi Burrows, as well as our visiting guest speaker that day, writer, Kristen Iversen, Sierra Club members and others. We were thrilled to experience unusually rapid success in our efforts. The morning after we spoke, the legislature voted, unanimously, to ban ALL fracking waste from being purchased, imported, or used in any way in Suffolk County, Long Island. Success for the future generations!<br />

Oh, I wrote a piece about the Alice Walker film, <i><a href="http://spiritualityhealth.com/articles/alice-walker-film-review-beauty-truth">Beauty in Truth</a></i> <i> </i>for <i>Spirituality and Health Magazine</i>. My daughter and I went to see <i><a href="http://www.alicewalkerfilm.com/tag/beauty-in-truth/">Beauty in Truth</a></i> when it opened in NYC at Columbia University and we met Pratibha Parmar, the filmmaker. The film appeared on PBS as part of the <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/alice-walker/film-alice-walker-beauty-in-truth/2807/">American Masters series</a>. I snuck that in despite my promise to write nothing but my book. I adore Walker, so I couldn't resist.<br />
<br />
My piece, "Hurricane Sandy A Diary," was published with <i>ISLE</i>, Oxford University Press, in spring 2014.<br />
<br />
Today: there is still grading to complete, administrative tasks to tend to, students to graduate at the end of the week-- but I wanted to say hello and let you know that I'm still here!<br />
<br />
Oh readers, I am back and ready for a summer of new writing: poems, stories, and essays about love, the earth, friendship and motherhood. <br />
<br />
And here, for your viewing, are a series of film shorts by my students from our Environmental Media and Film class, Spring Semester 2014 (first-time filmmakers) on various environmental topics. I'm so <i>proud</i> of the work my class did. Thank you to my co-teacher, the filmmaker & Sustainability guy, Dave Chameides, for expertly guiding the students through this process, and to the film tech TA <i>extraordinaire</i>, Justin Fehntrich, for helping as well. I know you will enjoy and be moved by these environmental film shorts. My students are passionate, clever, and visionary. Please watch all four sections... <i>they are worth it</i>.<br />

a terrible <br />
<br />
loneliness<br />
a dark hole<br />
morning light<br />
hello daughter<br />
eggs and fruit salad<br />
a walk with friends<br />
bird song<br />
<br />
what is despair?<br />
why does it creep into my bed at night?<br />
why do we see the worst after moments of love?<br />
<br />
i will walk by the water<br />
the clear blue<br />
day after day in the house<br />
i bought<br />
<br />
can it be the house that makes me lonely?<br />
how i wanted it<br />
now i don't<br />
<br />
i don't know what i want<br />
i want to want nothing<br />
i want san francisco<br />
i want paris<br />
i want a waterfall<br />
<br />
is loneliness fog?<br />
a not seeing<br />
a coldness<br />
<br />
watching barrels of radioactive waste<br />
thrown into<br />
the beloved ocean<br />
<br />
pasting and copying my chapters<br />
<br />
to send to a friend<br />
she says writers must know<br />
the loneliest of loneliness <br />
<br />
i will research how many Japanese<br />
women protest/ed<br />
& mourn the loss<br />
of Kaori Izumi<br />
who took care of<br />
irradiated children<br />
& shut down the Oi reactor<br />
<br />
her voice is on my computer<br />
my dead bird sings in the<br />
background <br />
<br />
i cannot find the video<br />
of her face<br />
but in my memory<br />
i see her son peering<br />
in the skype screen<br />
and her hands on her cheeks<br />
(we talked for hours)<br />
<br />
she returned to japan from italy<br />
to help<br />
<br />
she is dead.<br />
<br />
now i must rise.<br />
i must go to the water.<br />

desert and my mother’s story infused in there, and my body’s cancer story and
the American story all a jumble and Berkeley in the sixties and it turns out
that her brother X went to jail with my brother Y for an anti-nuclear

Hello, it's Rosh Hashanah, meaning a new year.<br />
<br />
What will you do this New Year?<br />
<br />
What do you have to be sorry for and did you apologize to all those whom you might have hurt?<br />
<br />
The book of life.<br />
<br />
We have a week.<br />
<br />
We're about to go to war, for the sake of something. What something? <br />
<br />
We will kill to save more lives? To make a point? To show our strength?<br />
<br />
I dropped her off tonight and did not go.<br />
<br />
Feeling sorry for myself, on the freeway, in the car. My car. My car. My car.<br />
<br />
My mother the car.<br />
<br />
When I realized when something breaks down.<br />
<br />
There is no one to call.<br />
<br />
Imagine how those children feel in countries where their parents<br />
are bombed.<br />
<br />
We only know the fragmentation of the bombs.<br />
<br />
It's after effects.<br />
<br />
That's America.<br />
<br />
No, that's callus and forgetful.<br />
<br />
We had 9/11.<br />
<br />
But since the civil war in the 19th century, what wars have we<br />
known? Directly?<br />
<br />
Again, callous and forgetful, I will look to orion. So many American soldiers.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry. It's the week of I'm sorry. Yom Kippur coming right up.<br />
<br />
What do I know?<br />
<br />
Our bodies indirectly know.<br />
<br />
Through cancer. Through the street people and the homeless.<br />
<br />
Through Agent Orange and Depleted Uranium and Chemical Warfare.<br />
<br />
All those test bombs. oh those.<br />
<br />
Do we see them?<br />
<br />
A terrible mother, I am.<br />
<br />
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.<br />
<br />
Sorry VERY Sorry for bombing your country.<br />
<br />
Sorry is no enough.<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
What else is there?<br />

Just so no one gets worried about me as I've been a bit silent, lately, all is well.<br />
<br />
It's been a busy, busy year. <br />
<br />
Here's what I did since last Fall. As an act of cracking eggs to enlighten the young, in addition to teaching my normal load of two courses a semester, plus directing dissertations (my PhD student Ula Klein just graduated and I'm so proud of her and her work), and writing articles for magazines, and Directing the Environmental Humanities major in our Stony Brook University Sustainability Studies Program, and becoming Interim Director of the entire Stony Brook University Sustainabilities Program (are you tired yet? I am!), and trying to complete my environmental memoir, I taught two freshman seminars on Environmental Film. Oh, don't forget (I almost did), I taught TWO summer classes on environmental literature and film-- graduate and undergraduate. I'm sure I've forgotten something.<br />
<br />
Why, pray tell, would I be so crazy as to add two courses on top of the other two and on top of everything else in the spring semester (or the summer courses!)? It's my calling to wake students and others up. That's why. Desperate times call for desperate measures!<br />
<br />
The Freshman seminars meet seven times. So I showed six environmental films and we talked about the environmental issues related to these films... Here's what the students viewed: <u>Earth 2100</u> (climate change), Rachel Carson's <u>Silent Spring</u> (made for PBS), <u>Gasland</u> 1 (2 wasn't out yet), I<u>nto Eternity</u> (nuclear waste), <u>Food Inc,</u> and <u>No Impact Man</u> (along with the video short- <u>The Story of Stuff)</u>. So, we covered: climate change; nuclear power, weapons and waste; toxics, chemicals and cancer; fracking; food and agricultural rights; garbage, waste and consumption. The last--<u>No Impact Man</u>! was the lightest fare and left the kids with suggestions of things they can <i>do</i>, as well as a bit of humor and hope.<br />
<br />
I think I made an impact with these two seminars... as the kids run off to their various majors, they said they plan to bring environmental awareness into these different fields, from Business, to Chemistry, to Engineering. Very cool.<br />
<br />
My other courses were awesome. In my Feminist Literature and Culture class we rocked to Eve Ensler's <u>One Billion Rising</u> on February 14th, V-Day. Two of my students are dancers (thank you Jul Carmela and Melanie Magdit); they learned the choreography from the One Billion Rising site and taught my class of almost 60. We played the live stream and danced with the world--simultaneously. Very powerful. We also watched Nick Kristof's <u>Half the Sky</u>, read Ensler's <u>Vagina Monologues</u> and <u>The Good Body</u>, <u>The Color Purple</u> (and a bunch of Walker's work--essays and poems-- on eco-womanist themes--women and the environment), <u>Jane Eyre,</u> <u>Wide Sargasso Sea</u>, and <u>Into the Forest</u> (by Jean Hegland). So, we covered contemporary body issues, women writers/writing and feminism, colonialism, race, ecofeminism, and so much more. Loved that class. On the last day, one of my students, a single empowered very young mom, brought in her little girl, and another student brought her beautiful hairy dog, Foosa. Students did creative research presentations on feminist topics most meaningful to them. Some memorable ones: a book by my single mom student to her daughter about being an empowered teen mom, a presentation on women in comic books throughout history, and a presentation on women (and power) in Star Trek. Another mind blowing presentation was on a google chat where the question "what do you think of feminism?" was posed. oh my, in the world outside the bubble of my classroom, it seems many folks have no idea what feminism is and anonymous chatters seem to hate women! The mysoginist language used was pretty shocking....<br />
<br />
My other class: Eco Media (yes, I teach a class on environmental media-love it!). In this class, my students created an amazing amazing live blog, and they wrote sharp critiques of all of our readings and film viewings -- on current environmental events in the media. We were visited by a live New York Journalist--Karl Grossman, we attended a brilliant symposium on the future of Nuclear Power post Fukushima, hosted by Helen Caldicott, in the NYC. Many of us took buses at 5 am on a freezing winter day to Washington, DC, where we attended the biggest Climate Change rally ever-- headed up by Bill McKibben and Sierra Club. One group of my students made an amazing film about the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the Great South Bay. We all participated in Stony Brook University's Earthstock (Earth Day Celebration), presenting research projects on toxics and cosmetics, fracking, GMOs and pesticides and food, and Hurricane Sandy and Climate Change. Many folks at Earthstock were stunned, mesmerized, and impressed by what my students had to say and offer!<br />
<br />
Oh and here are some other things I organized for the Eco Media class and the Freshman Seminars: two public showings of <u>Dear Governor Cuomo,</u> with the filmmaker, Jon Bowermaster, speaking! What a great guy and what a rocking, rousing and inspiring film. One showing was in Huntington, NY, at the Cinema Arts Centre, and the other was at our Stony Brook Campus.<br />
<br />
I also organized a showing of <u>Chasing Ice</u> at Cinema Arts--and we invited Professor Malcolm Bowman, an oceanographer to speak...<br />
<br />
Gosh, there's so much more.... summer classes and attending <u>The Clearwater Revival Festival</u> with my students and working in the Green Cities Tent, again! Hands-on environmental learning from the experts at its best. Thank you Ryan Palmer, Manna Jo Greene, Karla Raimundi, and Linda Richards, for pulling this astounding learning experience together for my students, once again. Unforgettable.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, I just came back from <u>Omega Institute</u>, where I gave a lecture on the Power of Environmental Literature. That was a lot of fun to put together. I spoke about the profound influence of literary words on environmental activism. Skip Backus and Laura Weiland created an amazing six-week program there on Sustainability (one of my students attended) and I was delighted to jump in and speak with this very engaged group and others for the evening.<br />
<br />
Now, more to do, more to do... and back to revisions of my book.... soon to come to a store near you!<br />

I cannot lose hope.<br />
Too many are counting.<br />
<br />
And then I had a dream.<br />
And then I saw a field of bright colors.<br />
And then the people emerged from the tunnel. <br />
<br />
On bicycles.<br />
<br />
Waiting for me. <br />
Waiting for you.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I woke this morning, happy to greet summer and looking
forward to planting seeds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before, there was no time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never
enough time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning. I would make time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I opened my door to greet the semi-quiet morning. Birds. Lots of birds. The humming of insects. The far away hum of cars.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, I made coffee and planned to sit on my porch and read Edward Abbey's <i>Desert Solitaire</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I read about the quiet and the red sand and the desert flower,
the sexuality of bees and moths burrowing and pollinating. I stopped for a moment and soaked in Abbey's words on solitude and the expansiveness of the desert and felt his thoughts link with mine. I then scribbled a few words on paper about the end of romantic love, it's self-enclosed and selfish nature, about how I prefer the expansiveness of loving the earth, of giving to a greater cause. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What a glorious quiet, simple moment: book, pen,
notebook, coffee, porch, thoughts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then the sound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The blast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The churning BLAST. A wood chip machine? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Christians made a law that bans the machines on Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet it blasts and blasts, and the partial silence is gone. The breath. The day. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wait and hope. Maybe it will stop. Maybe it will go away. It grows louder and louder.<br />
<br />
I try to read, to bring back that moment of <i>Desert Solitaire</i> and me. Gone. <br />
<br />
The blast continues. Minutes. One hour. Two hours. Three.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I move back inside the house to escape the noise-- shut my windows and doors, shut out the industrial noise that is always, always there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The irony: following the section on the solitude of desert flowers and red rock, Abbey cries out against the industrialization of the national parks in <i>Desert Solitaire</i>. New wide roads were built and brought in millions of tourists and their big machines. Quiet and silence and mystery vanished. <br />
<br />
The irony: I moved to the suburbs and bought a house with a yard so I
could grow a garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I moved to a
place where I envisioned long solitary walks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> A writer's dream. I imagined peaceful summers. </span><br />
<br />
I came from Manhattan because the noise and bustle crushed
my soul. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet the noise is here, every moment, everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My neighbors run machines, buzz buzz buzz. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cannot leave
windows open, sleep in a hammock, or read a book in the shade.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is no peaceful summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe there never was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maybe Eden had leaf blowers and generators and electric weed wackers and buzz saws and Strontium 90 and plutonium and TCE and PCBs and fracking waste and DDT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Maybe google earth snapped pictures of naked Adam and Eve and posted them on facebook. Maybe Eden's evil snake was a sneaky drone. Maybe Eden's apple was an iphone.</span><br />
<br />
Maybe the writers of the Bible left industrialization out of
creation to fool us all. Maybe there have always been machines.</div>

<b>Mother's Day</b><br />
<br />
<b>1) You lose your mother to cancer and other disease. </b><br />
<b>2) You want babies and can't have them. </b><br />
<b>3) You get cancer and think you'll really never have them. </b><br />
<b>4) Post-chemo: you have a baby. </b><br />
<b>5) You want more babies and cannot. </b><br />
<b>6) You look back in love and awe at your mother's political and activist work. </b><br />
<b>7) You become your mother and try to save the world. </b><br />
<b>8) You feel: Gratitude and grace for the gift of motherhood. </b><br />
<b>Amen.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
It's a fraught day for many, a joyous one for others.<br />
<br />
I know, first hand, both the immense pleasure of being a mom, and the intense pain of wanting to be one and not being able to. I also know the angst of losing a mom, the challenges of working full time and parenting, and the difficulties of raising a child alone.<br />
<br />
It's a complex role, motherhood.<br />
<br />
First, I lost my mom, too young. That's a complicated story. She was a complex person, married to a very difficult man. It took many years for me to come to grips with her greatness. I always saw her as weak and fallen, but now I see her differently. I see her as a victim of her time. I see her as a hero. That's the story of the book I'm writing.<br />
<br />
And then there's the challenges of being a mother myself.<br />
<br />
For years, I wanted to be a mother. I mean really, really wanted to be a mother. It was an obsessive desire. I wanted to have five or six kids: <i>With Six You Get Eggroll</i><i>, The Waltons</i>, <i>Yours Mine and Ours</i>. <br />
<br />
It didn't seem to be in the cards for me. Yes, I was of the generation of women that wanted to work and have a family--but it wasn't my career that got in the way, I just didn't seem to fall in love with "traditional" marriage or child-friendly guys. They were artists, actors, dancers, hippies, and free spirits who saw the nuclear family as confining, repressive, anti-happiness.<br />
<br />
So, for years, I watched, with intense envy and sadness, other women get pregnant, give birth, and do it again and again. Everywhere I went, there seemed to be women with babies, toddlers, and pregnant women. My friends all had kids. Not just one, but several.<br />
<br />
It was torture.<br />
<br />
The sight of a stroller, a mother nursing, children in the playground with their moms, made me weep. I hated hated hated baby showers, dreaded the invitations, the cards, the excited calls from friends and their words: "I'm pregnant!" I would try to sound happy and supportive, but inside, my heart was breaking. 'All I ever wanted was kids,' I thought, 'Why couldn't it be me?'<br />
<br />
The man I loved through my late twenties and thirties "wasn't ready and wanted to wait to have kids." I waited for him to change his mind, to feel at ease. My partner poo-pooed the "nonsense" I told him about the decline in fertility rates in women as they age. He thought medical statistics "were all in the mind." <br />
<br />
The years went by and the clock ticked. <br />
<br />
Then, in my mid-thirties, I got cancer and faced an onslaught of intensive chemotherapy treatments. Chemotherapy, my physicians said, might very possibly render me permanently infertile. I was bereft and upset with myself. Why had I hung out waiting for someone else to make up his mind, when having children was so vital to me? Now I might never have biological children of my own, now I might die and never experience motherhood at all. <br />
<br />
There was no time for freezing eggs. I needed chemo right away.<br />
<br />
Out of guilt, and possibly a sudden waking up to the sacredness and fragility of life due to my life-threatening disease, my partner then promised to have a baby with me when I was healthy enough to try. <br />
<br />
Two years later, we tried to get pregnant. Nothing happened. Then after much help from an excellent reproductive endocrinologist, I became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful, healthy girl. At last, I was a mom.<br />
<br />
She was and is my <i>miracle</i>. <br />
<br />
Yet. Even though I finally had a child, I still ached for more. So, I tried and tried, but I could not conceive again. I went through several years of giving myself shots of hormones daily, of multiple surgeries and treatments and various drugs. No luck. Every month, I went through a dramatic cycle of hope and disappointment that took a heavy emotional toll. Finally, I ran out of steam and stopped trying. I was too exhausted to go through the adoption route.<br />
<br />
The grieving and longing for more children passed in time. Today, my heart is full with joy and gratitude for all that I have. My girl amazes me more and more each day with her kindness, intelligence, grace, vision, and generosity.<br />
<br />
My relationship with my own mother has evolved over the years as well. Growing up, my feelings about Mom were fraught. When she lived, I saw her as the beaten-down woman of an abusive husband. I wanted Mom to be strong, to get out and save herself.<br />
<br />
Now, twenty years after Mom's death, through researching her life in more detail for my book, I discovered that she was an important environmental and peace activist. She put her own body on the line to save the lives of many.<br />
<br />
I have also come to understand the complexities of motherhood in a patriarchal world. It's not easy to leave an abusive relationship, and it was more difficult in my mom's lifetime. Fingers pointed at women when men misbehaved or when marriages failed. Women were supposed to keep everyone else happy. Adrienne Rich explained it all as a kind of altruistic self-sacrifice. Yes, we still have to be very careful not to fall into the trap of mommy and women <i>blame</i>. I was guilty of mother-blame myself when Mom lived.<br />
<br />
I now see how deeply and positively Mom influenced me in a myriad of ways. For Mom's sake, I wish she could have put feminism into practice in her marriage, yet I no longer blame her for not being able to do so.<br />
<br />
On a very positive note, I have come to follow Mom's path as an activist who works to protect all children from the polluting of our earth. <br />
<br />
So. Now.<br />
<br />
Every day I thank my mother for giving birth to me, and for teaching me the value of working on activist causes for the good of the earth and all living beings.<br />
<br />
Every day I look at my daughter with amazement and feel immense gratitude for the gift of motherhood and all that it teaches me.<br />
<br />
I honor my child.<br />
<br />
I honor my mother. <br />
<br />
Today, when I'm feeling any (mothering) grief, helping to take care of our mother earth is the best medicine of all.<br />
<br />
Thanks, Mom. <br />

<a href="http://steingraber.com/bio/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">Sandra</a>, like me, is a mother, cancer survivor, writer and activist.

Like Sandra, I know firsthand how the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://gdacc.org/resources/air-pollution/" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">polluting of this planet</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>causes unnecessary and horrific suffering for present and future beings.

From writing and speaking to civil action: What led Sandra to land in jail? I think that like a lot of us moms and cancer survivors who work on these issues, she’s had it. Unlike many (or most, I should say), however, Sandra truly has the courage of her convictions.</div>

We are in an “environmental crisis” she writes, that “requires our urgent attention. And by attention, I mean sustained political action, not intermittent, private worrying.” We are running out of time. If we really care about our children’s future, instead of carting our kids to soccer games and SAT prep classes, we need to participate in a “civil-rights … uprising.”</div>

Sandra provides compelling reasons to follow her call. She’s singing out for a peaceful, creative and joyful mother’s revolution. It happened before and it worked: They were the mothers of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Women Strike For Peace</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(my own mom was one of them) and they<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/647090/Women-Strike-for-Peace-WSP" style="color: #ca0164; text-decoration: none;">helped stop</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>above-ground nuclear test bombing in the U.S. in 1963.

<br />
I've changed my faith or religion or spiritual practice a lot over the years. I was born to parents of Jewish ancestry, but they were Unitarians, or Jewnitarians,
as their friends joked. I was born to hybrids. <br />
<br />
When I was twelve, we moved to Israel, largely
because my Dad felt guilty for not teaching us kids about our Jewish history. It seemed to me to be too much too late. It was an alien country and faith to me. I felt terrible about the holocaust, and I understood Nazis would kill me whether or not I felt Jewish, but I still didn't feel like kissing the ground when we landed in Israel. <br />
<br />
At thirteen, I went to Quaker boarding school in the
mountains of North Carolina. As students, we didn't go to Meeting much,
but we spent our days and nights outside in nature. You might say it was in the mountains I found God. I came home to myself and fell in love
with the streams, rhododendron, sandy mica paths, and black mountaintops. I loved sliding down rocks in the South Toe river, sliding down mountain sides in the snow, skating and swimming in natural ponds, resting in wild grasses and staring at the stars on windy nights. My house parents had to drag me inside to go to bed at night. <br />
<br />
As a young adult, I flirted with Christianity, walking in and out of
churches and cathedrals in New York City.<br />
<br />
I later followed my partner to an ashram in New York City and meditated for several years.<br />
<br />
When I
became a mom, I felt the need to
find a religious faith with "normal" holidays to celebrate, and since my partner and I both came from Jewish ancestry, we
joined a synagogue, went faithfully to Shabbat services, and practiced the Jewish faith for fourteen years--Challah, matzo ball soup, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover and all. We still do. It's good for the family.<br />
<br />
As my daughter grew older, I searched again and I began
meditating with a local Buddhist group.<br />
<br />
Each of these religions offers me different ways to understand and deal with the challenges of the
human condition--but, above all, what I have come to embrace most deeply in my search for faith, is not an official religion, with a title or building or set of written laws, practices, and rules, but<i> my experience of and with nature. </i><br />
<br />
It turns out that my
greatest devotion, commitment, love and joy, outside of parenting, or perhaps integrally linked to
it, is connecting with and <i>protecting the earth</i>--soil, rock, water, mountains,
oceans, rivers, trees, animals, birds, reptiles, and all living
creatures. <br />
<br />
My <i>belief in nature</i> makes me understand that if I love this blessed nature so much, then I have a sacred duty to protect her.<br />
<br />
Yes, I want to guard and protect our beautiful earth. I want to be sure that clean water, air and soil are here to stay for all future beings, human and nonhuman. <br />
<br />
That is <i>my rock solid faith</i>.<br />
<br />
What's yours? <br />

Patti Wood, founders of <a href="http://grassrootsinfo.org/">Grassroots Environmental Education</a>, inspired these thoughts. "We were called to be guardians of the earth."<br />

It's been a really busy week. We showed the film, <i>Dear Governor Cuomo</i>, at <a href="http://www.cinemaartscentre.org/">Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, NY</a> on Tuesday 2/12. The talks given after the film, by the filmmaker Jon Bowermaster and Patti Wood, from <a href="http://grassrootsinfo.org/">Grassroots Environmental Education</a>, were highly informative. Coincidentally, on Tuesday, there was a small win on the New York anti-fracking side, as the DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) determined they need more time to examine the SGEIS Fracking health impact study before moving forward with drilling in the state of NY. However, things are far from certain--it's just a short delay. New York still doesn't have a ban on fracking.<br />
<br />
It's important that we keep the pressure on.<br />

Meanwhile, on the Climate Change action front, we've filled two busloads of people from <i>Stony Brook University</i> and other locations on Long Island, and we're headed to DC on Sunday, 2/17, to protest the <b>Keystone XL Pipeline</b> and <b>Climate Change at large</b>. The protest is hosted by <b>Sierra Club</b> and <b>350.org</b>, along with many other environmental organizations, including <b>Coalition Against Nukes</b> and <b>No Nukes NIRS</b>.<br />
<br />
We
want President Obama and our politicians to hear our voices loud and
clear. It's time to change our energy policies to truly renewable
ones--wind, solar, geothermal, and it's time to make massive and
systematic changes in our transportation and production systems in the
U.S. and the world. We cannot continue to exploit our environment as we
have been and hope to survive. Earth first--not profit for
corporations. Climate Change is already upon us, so we really have no
time to lose.<br />
<br />
Act, speak up, change how you live. There is no time to lose. <br />
<br />
My
heart breaks for the future ones, but I'm not sitting on my hands or
closing my eyes. Please join me and the 20,000 or more who feel the
same.<br />
<br />
We'll be marching for the earth and the future generations.<br />
<br />
If you want to join a Climate Change rally this Sunday, you don't have to go to DC. Please see this exhaustive list of protests taking place all over the U.S. in <a href="http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/2013/02/15/join-a-climate-rally-this-sunday/">Michael Lerner's piece in Tikkun.</a> You can rally for the planet on 2/17, from just about anywhere. </div>
