The Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise displays a banner message near the US Oil facility in Tacoma. The ship is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.
Mickey Leland interns Andrew Bean and Daniel Peluso on a visit to interview Albert Kollar, who is a Collections Manager, as well as Invertebrate Paleontologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, PA. While at CMNH Andrew and fellow intern Daniel Peluso learned from Albert how he and the museum catalog, tag, share, check in/out, etc., which is extremely important information helping in the planning of our project. While there they investigated how the samples are cataloged, as well as the curation techniques applied by their staff.
NETLâs Albany lab specializes in metals research for energy applications, and its Fabrication Laboratory helps develop strong, durable alloys for use in energy production. Researchers in the Lab work on projects for the Department of Energy but have also developed alloys for Shell, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE, Pratt & Whittney-Rockedyne (P&W), medical stent applications for Boston Scientific Laboratories, and others.

SACRAMENTO, CA -- On May 5th, 2016, residents from Kern County staged a sit-in outside the Governor's office to send a message that he needs to stop the expansion of oil and gas in CA.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.

69% of total power generation in Serbia is based on lignite (2010).
For the Kolubara mine operator EPS lignite remains one of the main fuels for power generation.
Rather than supporting a further dependence on one of the dirtiest fuels, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development should help financing renewable energy and energy efficiency measures.

Immersion Autoclave
NETL researcher Dr. Burt Thomas
B26-105
The High Pressure Immersion and Reactive Transport Laboratory is a multi-functional, state-of-the-art facility capable of performing geological studies at simulated depths up to 10,000 feet, providing an experimental basis for modeling of various subsurface phenomena and processes. Research is aimed at monitoring the long-term storage stability and integrity of CO2 stored in geologic formations to better simulate conditions found in potential geologic storage sites. The laboratory has a wide range of tools and instrumentation to ensure a complete cycle of scientific studies from preparation of representative samples, through the preliminary measurements of basic properties, to the advanced investigation of the processes of interest under simulated subsurface conditions. The Autoclave Test Facility uses continuously-stirred autoclave reactors to conduct experiments at high pressures and temperatures to investigate gas/liquid and gas/slurry interactions. The Geological Storage Core Flow Facility includes three flow-through test systems that can measure permeability, CO2-enhanced oil recovery, and CO2.
Sharing a Little Bit of Albany History
By Joe Licavoli
On February 2nd, students from West Albany High School finally got to meet and know a little bit about their next-door neighbors from NETL’s Albany site. As part of continuing outreach efforts by both NETL and other community leaders, 28 advanced placement (AP) chemistry students attended a two-and-a-half hour set of talks at the Albany Regional Museum. These talks focused on Albany’s specialty metals history on the production of zirconium and titanium. In planning the event, NETL’s Joseph Licavoli worked with Sylvia Harvey (Teacher at West Albany High), Howard Poppleton (Retired—US Bureau of Mines), Mark Sidall (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Dennis Emerson (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Barry Valder (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Judy Weissert (Director, Albany Regional Museum) and Mae Yih (Retired State Senator). The talks included an introduction to materials science, the history of specialty metals processing in Albany, and current/future uses of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, and tantalum.
After the talks, students and speakers held casual conversations about careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and about specific research topics that had been discussed.
Mae Yih graciously offered to provide lunch for the students as well. Students were very engaged in the talks and grateful for the opportunity to discuss science with people that have helped make Albany a key player in metallurgy over the years. As part of her “Albany Renaissance” project, Mae Yih is sponsoring an essay contest for Albany area schools with this year’s topic focusing on the metal titanium and its uses. This essay contest and the high school visit are a part of ongoing efforts by members of the Albany community to help advance STEM education and bring more attention to the strong influence and positive effects that metallurgical processing facilities have had in shaping Albany’s history

That's most of the people at the assembly -- but others were nearby as well.
More people also trickled in later.

Commissioned installation in public space of spa resort Luhačovice, Czech Republic. Part of Luhovaný Vincent festival
Fake grass, wood, sandbags
Dimensions 3 x 5 meters

Many corporations started to present themselves as environmentally friendly while they just adapt to new discourse so they can continue their business. These PR strategies are smoke screen to hide real problems. They push consumer to feel personal guilt if he/she can not buy bio, fair-trade, organic products. There is a long list of various corporations like airlines, mining companies, food industry, car manufacturers, and we can find some greenwashing strategies even within political propaganda.
I created this installation in the cheapest way so it looks like theatrical scenery and it’s fakeness is glaring. Fake grass in contrast with the real one is just as absurd as greenwashing agenda of billionaire corporations. Unskillful way of this construction from backside is in contrast with clean frontside. The same as advertisement provides us: beautiful packaging but rotten from behind.
All the material from this piece will be reused in different context.
