President Trump has resurrected the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines. I’m frustrated. It takes so much collective energy to overcome anything in the fossil fuel industry’s interests.

It feels like the first step is paying attention. It’s natural to tune out and let the government do whatever it’s doing for four years. My goal is to participate. I signed petitions online with NRDC. I’m going to send postcards to my congressional representative and senators.
