EcoAdvocates: Gulf Tribes, Chemical Testing, Green Burials, Climate Justice, and Saving the Peaks

by Aji

While the Gulf Coast disaster continues apace, three small tribes and several groups and individuals focused on rescue and remediation need additional support.  New legislation has been introduced in the House and Senate to require more rigorous testing of chemicals; the Environmental Defense Fund wants your help in improving it.  You can join several efforts currently under way to save sacred lands in Northern Arizona from pollution by sewage effluent, and to help promote aggressive action on climate change.  And how would like to know that, when you "walk on," you're doing so in an environmentally friendly manner?  It's now possible.

Tonight's EcoAdvocates edition includes posts by Aji on The Gulf Tribes:  Rescuing Coastline and Cultures, Meteor Blades on The Safe Chemicals Act of 2010, Ojibwa on Green Burials, Boatsie with Take Action Alerts, and Oke with a special "Save the Peaks" Action Alert.
