Subject: ECOSANE ALERT – Essential video of Citizens United v. FCC
WATCH: Citizens United v. FCC (8:51)
At this crucial time in the race — and one-time chance — to avoid passing the remaining tipping points in our fragile global ecosystem that would result in irreversible runaway climate breakdown (unsurvivable for most life), the allocation to fossil fuel industries of unlimited power to lobby for their special, carbon-addicted, eco-negligent interests is insane and (should be) criminal.
To those of us who see the madness, inequity and impossibility of perpetual growth, EMERGENCY action at EMERGENCY speed is the only potential response that *may be* proportional to the scale and pace of the accelerating climate threats we must all face.
Get informed. Get inspired. Get involved and help to motivate bold, new, transformative approaches and just, resilient, EMERGENCY RESPONSES to the climate crisis — FAST.
Thank you! Glenn MacIntosh, Founder: ecoSanity.org.
