Monday morning blues brought on by unseasonable warm weather and thoughts of climate chaos. What can be done to inspire people towards meaningful change? What will it take?

The playground at the Buchanan Verplank Elementary school is just 400 feet from this pipeline. The diesel back up fuel tanks and other vital structures at the Indian Point nuke plant will be just 105 feet from this pipeline.
