WE NEED HELP
FLYING YOUR COUNTRY'S COLOURS UPSIDE DOWN IS AN INTERNATIONAL SIGN OF DISTRESS.
It means we are in a serious, life-threatening situation, and we cannot, without outside help, save ourselves. We encourage everyone to fly the flag upside down until help arrives.
Photo by NASA
This is the last photo taken by man. Called 'The Blue Marble' it is the most published photo ever. It was taken by the Apollo 17 crew as they headed home from the Moon, with the sun directly behind them. Somewhere on that small planet is a tiny place called Maryland.
As the Earth's temperature rises, ice and permafrost melt. Scientists were literally amazed when this huge crack just snapped open.

Corporate Front Groups
Corporations have long created and funded front groups to mask their deceptive actions. For instance, the National Wetlands Coalition was sponsored by oil, coal and gas companies and real estate developers to fight for the easing of restrictions on converting wetlands in shopping malls and drilling sites. Consumer Alert fights government regulations of product safety. Keep America Beautiful attempts to green-wash the bottling industry by funding anti-litter campaigns while actively fighting recycling legislation. Their strategy is to convince the public that litter is the responsibility of consumers—not the packaging industry.
