Sign Susan Sarandon’s Petition To Tell Big Banks To Stop Funding DAPL collective-evolution

Looking to help create change on the planet? This is your opportunity to be one of the approximately 6,000 more signatures that Susan Sarandon needs to send a message to the Big Banks behind DAPL.

By this point we are certainly all well aware of what is happening with the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) at Standing Rock. But for those who have been living under a metaphorical rock, the DAPL is a $3.7 billion project that intends to create a 1,172 mile pipeline spanning four U.S. states.

Thankfully, this unscrupulous and financially-driven business endeavour has not gone without protest, as thousands have shown up from all over the world to voice their opposition.

Some members of the CE team even spent several days on the front lines earlier this month to both provide some much needed media coverage and to experience firsthand what has now become one of the most notable protests in human history.

While out there, we were able to connect with several recognizable celebrity figures, including Patricia Arquette and Robert F. Kennedy, who are doing everything they can to put an end to the construction of this pipeline.

Another familiar face that is going beyond the call of duty to support the water protectors is Susan Sarandon, best known for her memorable roles in several Hollywood blockbusters, including The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Thelma and Louise.

Through thepetitionsite.com, Susan has launched a petition to tell the Big Banks behind the funding of the pipeline to stop its construction. As of the moment I am writing this article, the initiative has amassed an incredible 104,525 signatures, just 5,475 short of its 110,000 signature goal.

This is YOUR CHANCE to be a part of change. Give your signature in support of a powerful message that may just be the blow needed to pull these funders out of the heavily protested project.

Here is the full write-up that Susan provided with the petition, including several other action steps that we can all take today to further help the cause:

Join me in sending a message to the big banks by withdrawing your money until they agree to: 

1. Divest from Energy Transfer Partners, the parent company of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

2. Pressure President Obama and the White House to call for an EIS – Environmental Impact Statement.

When you go to your bank (Bank of America, HSBC, UBS, Wells Fargo, Chase, Citibank, etc) film yourself withdrawing money telling the bank until they divest from Dakota Access Pipeline you will take your business to Federal Credit Unions.

Then, tweet the video: #BankExit I’m divesting from @WellsFargo @Chase @Citibank @HSBC_US until they say #NoDAPL http://bit.ly/2ffFr01 cc: @BarackObama

Demand President @BarackObama call for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which will effectively put a stop to this human rights violation against the Native Americans at Standing Rock. 

The Standing Rock Sioux’s only water source will be endangered by this pipeline. They have put their bodies on the line to stop the construction and defend their water and their way of life. The police brutality in response to their peaceful demonstrations is outrageous, and must not continue.

Bank of America, HSBC, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Chase and Citigroup are all supporting this pipeline.

Sign this petition to show the big banks funding DAPL that we will not allow them to use our money to threaten the Standing Rock Sioux.

Iceland Knows How To Stop Teen Substance Abuse But The Rest Of The World Isn’t Listening collective-evolution

I think it’s safe to say that most teenagers have tried and/or abused alcohol or illegal drugs, yet teen substance abuse rarely gets the attention it needs. Drugs and alcohol have a more detrimental effect on the underdeveloped brain, particularly since teens lack the ability to adequately assess risk, making them more likely to overindulge in substances. It’s this same lack that explains why people tend to be braver and more open to trying new experiences as teens than as adults. But this courage comes at a cost, as teens cannot adequately assess the risks of the substances they are taking. And schools aren’t doing nearly enough to educate them. I remember seeing presentations from a program called DARE, or Drug Abuse Resistance Education, when I was in school. Although we were taught to avoid drugs, the focus was more on avoiding criminal behaviour than protecting our bodies. There wasn’t much focus on long-term effects of drug use. They always maintained that abstinence from drug u

The Inevitable Is Almost Here: What’s Going To Happen When The Whole World Finds Out? collective-evolution

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been a topic of interest for decades, and with the recent release of thousands of previously classified government documents, we now know without question that government, military, and other defence agencies have had a high level of interest in this topic for a very long time. These files indicate that objects are commonly tracked on both air and ground radar, as well as visually confirmed by the pilots who are sent out to intercept them. Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data. – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2 , written by Richard Dolan. For instance, here is an excellent example of a defence intelligence agency report detailing what commonly happens when a UFO is

Quantum Vacuum & Zero Point Energy Access: Is “Free Energy” For All Actually Possible? collective-evolution

Image
“Free energy” is a term being tossed around these days, and not one that many within the new energy movement like to use. That’s because it’s not really “free,” or what we perceive “free” to be. It’s not like the power source for generating the energy to run these machines (discussed below in this article) is coming from nowhere. It’s coming from the quantum vacuum, which would seem to be available for our use in unlimited quantities, given the fact that it’s the invisible “stuff” that makes up our known entire universe, in which could be a sea of universes and dimensions. There is enough to go around. Sure, solar, wind, and other clean energy initiatives are great, and the more the better, but the world has been completely blinded by the fact that there are many more advanced ways to generate clean energy that could revolutionize our world in several different paradigm changing ways. “Much to my surprise, these concepts have been proven in hundreds of laboratories around the world,
