this is wonderfully inspiring… MMMMMHMMMM! This Is It! a big ‘good on ya’ to folks all over this place! This can work… and a part of me can’t believe it. Thanks to all the folks who got in the way, thank you Peter Grey of NSW Australia, Nina Otter and Meagan Goodman of NC US. STUDENT ACTIVISTS… People like yourselves give me the strength i need, the confidence! the support. your criminal records and court fees are not for nothing. sincerely, THANK YOU.

soldier on~

Thank you for showing that North Carolina doesn’t need ANY more coal plants! We need our shoreline and our mountains and clean air. We need to rebuild our economy with clean and safe green jobs. Great job today!
