This substance made of textiles and post-industrial scrap that were destined for a landfill will be ground to bits to create as much surface area as possible. Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using […] -

The trucks travel from #EnergyFuels #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, from #Havasupai ancestral land, through #Flagstaff, and across #Navajo and #Hopi lands before reaching Energy Fuels mill site on Ute ancestral land in #Utah." -- Censored News

Rising Tide's 10 principles are up on their website so yeah, i had read them before joining the local hub and the blockade. And it was all stuff i was really happy to support like a commitment to non-violence.
Some i'd liked but had totally forgotten about by now like helping each other learn and grow! So a reminder was very timely. #RisingTide #activism #environmentalActivism
