human beings who care about their mother (earth) are missing today. we need to be actively involved and participating in initiatives which protect our species and other species who are being eliminated due to human actions-- such as mining. clear cutting, moutaintop removal, and other invasive, extractive and destructive activities. In particular, the extraction and use of uranium in nuclear power plants and weapons is destroying the planet. Corporate, short-sighted greed hurts all beings. Shut Diablo Canyon and all nuclear plants. Bring PG&E and all utilities using toxic, dirty energy for profit to account. Make regulators do their jobs. We don't have to stand for this destruction. Act now to save ourselves.
