Flow: For Love of Water (2008) is an interesting documentary on the access to water, and the privatization of water. The documentary is available on Netflix. Recommended.

Stop the Bush Administration from using eleventh-hour rulemaking to weaken environmental regulation!

1. Want to stop offshore drilling then go here: http://action.lcv.org/lcv/policy_action.html

2. Want to stop the Bush Administration’s voracious attempts to gut the Endangered Species Act? The Bush Administration has lowered the normal commenting period from 90 days to 60 and then to 30 days. To stop public outcry the Bush Admin. has also stopped comments from being sent via electronic submissions, and public comments must be hand written. You can go here and submit a comment and they will be printed out and hand delivered: http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/protect_endangered_wildlife

3. Act now to protect marine fish populations! The Bush Admin. wants is proposing a rule change that would weaken environmental review of fishery management initiatives and strengthen industry. Go here: http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/MFCN/campaign.jsp?campaign%5fKEY=24897
