Greenpeace activists descended upon Ford’s world headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan wearing lungs costumes, to demand a response to the company’s efforts to fight strong fuel standards for cars and trucks.
Ford and other major automakers have been pressuring the EPA to relax or weaken current CAFE standards (corporate average fuel economy).
Untreated sewage channels with waste waters from the Kolubara mine pass through the Vreoci village and end in a tributary of the river Sava, eventually reaching Belgrade downstream.
Nearby residents have become completely dependent on bottled water as both tap and well water have become undrinkable. Families are suffering from chronicle diseases.
NETL’s 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.

Leco CS744 - Oxygen/Nitrogen by Inert Gas Fusion Infrared and Thermal Conductivity Detection
The Leco CS744 is designed for routine measurement of carbon and sulfur in primary steels, ores, finished metals, and other inorganic materials. Additional features—such as a high-frequency combustion furnace, improved IR cell design, rugged design, and available automation assists in acquiring an accurate analysis of carbon and/or sulfur.

Trace amounts of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen can make a big difference in the structure and properties of many alloys. Combustion analysis can be used to measure the concentration of carbon and sulfur in a number of different ores and metals. A small amount of the sample is first combusted in oxygen. The amount of carbon
dioxide and sulfur dioxide produced from the reaction is then measured with an infrared detector.
A similar approach is applied to measure the amount of nitrogen and oxygen present in each sample. The sample is placed inside a graphite crucible and heated rapidly. Oxygen present in the molten sample reacts readily with the graphite crucible, and the amount of carbon dioxide formed from the combustion reaction is measured with an infrared detector and used to calculate the amount of oxygen originally present in the sample. Nitrogen gas escaping from the molten sample is measured with a separate thermal conductivity detector, as it is invisible to the infrared detector.
By measuring the composition of alloys down to parts-per-million levels, it is possible to work out how changes to ingredients and processing conditions affect their composition.

The second California based Fire Drill Friday takes place in the District 15 area of Los Angeles. The area is home to the massive oil and gas fields that are quite literally poisoning and killing people. Speakers include: Gloria Arellanes, a member of the Gabrieleno/Tongva Tribe; Jocelyn Moguel, a strong young leader born and raised in Wilmington, CA.; Doctor Saba Malik, a second year family medicine resident at Harbor UCLA Medical Center; Jovan Houston, an aviation service worker at Los Angeles International Airport and rank and file leader SEIU United Service Workers West; Magali Sanchez-Hall is a long-time resident of Wilmington and an environmental justice activist working alongside environmental justice organizations.
Helping with speaker introductions are: Billie Lee; Lana Parrilla; Sam Waterston; Josh Pence; Rosanna Arquette; Diane Lane; Saffron Burrows; and Lily Tomlin .

The Greenpeace thermal airship A.E. Bates flies by Glacier National Park near Babb, Montana on August 4, 2014. The airship flew with banners reading, "Coal exports fuel climate change" and "Keep our coal in the ground" to highlight the risks of coal export and mining. Coal mining companies are trying to boost exports of publicly owned coal in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, which would mean more carbon pollution and disruption to the environment and communities in the Western United States.

Greenpeace and Mosquito Fleet activists block a Kinder Morgan barge from entering the company’s Seattle facility by locking themselves to the pier and displaying banners. "The company's Trans Mountain Pipeline tramples Indigenous rights, threatens communities and their access to clean water, and the increased tanker traffic from the pipeline could decimate marine wildlife including the 76 remaining Southern Resident orcas,” said Greenpeace activist and Seattle resident Samantha Suarez.
Workers attempt to contain a 5,000 gallon diesel fuel spill from the Duke Energy W.C. Beckjord Power Station in New Richmond, Ohio near Cincinnati on August 19, 2014. The Coast Guard has established a fifteen mile safety zone on the Ohio River to facilitate spill assessment and response operations. Duke Energy has assumed responsibility for the spill clean-up.

Refinery Corridor Healing Walk #3
Benicia to Rodeo, California June 11, 2017 - 3rd of 4 walks this year along the Refinery Corridor in the East Bay. Organized by Idle No More SF Bay, this 10.5 mile walk started in Benicia, home of Valero's Benicia Refinery, crossed the Carquinez Bridge and then passed thru the heart of Conoco-Phillips 66 “San Francisco” refinery.
Within minutes of the early morning start, walkers had the extremely rare opportunity to observe 2 Bald Eagles fishing and hanging out along the bay. And then, almost as if scripted, what started as a bright, sunny day turned increasingly windy and as the walkers approached the Conoco-Phillips 66 refinery, dark, menacing clouds formed, complete with lightning and eventually rain.
These walks have been bringing native people, local communities and those concerned about the health of the planet together to envision a healthier future, since 2014.
The next walk (July 16, 2017) will cover the section of the Refinery Corridor from Rodeo to the Chevron Richmond refinery. It will be the very last of a total of 16 walks that have happened over a period of 4 years.
These walks have done an outstanding job of connecting communities and issues and providing insights and ways to connect to the fierce battles being waged in our own back yards for "Clean Air, Water & Soil
Safe Jobs, Roads, Railroads & Waterways
A Vibrantly Healthy Future for All Children
A Just Transition to Safe & Sustainable Energy"

These experiments will allow researchers to determine information about the rates of catalytic reactions and the amount of energy needed to start these reactions.

A Greenpeace activist talks with a woman outside the Pinterest office in San Francisco, California May 6, 2014. Greenpeace activists set up two 13' tall, 15' wide 'pinboards' outside of the Pinterest office in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco. Each of the boards featured real-life 'pins' with the message "Make Our Pins Green". Designers, photographers and other influential Pinterest users who partnered with Greenpeace's #clickclean campaign for a green internet designed many of the pins on the boards.
