Hi everybody,
In preparation for next class, here are two more videos for you to watch, and an article for you to read.
I know there are only two evenings left before our class; so if you don't have time to read the article, please just watch the videos! :) They're short and informative!
If you do have time to read within the next two days, the article I've included is excellent, and the comments below it are enlightening as well, and come from people both in favor of and against the pipeline.
Here are some important terms for the below two videos:
boreal forest = 寒帶森林
arrest = 逮捕
(These definitions are according to my dictionary: the old-fashioned real book kind! Let me know if you have any better Chinese definitions for these words!!!) * The first video introduces the proposed pipeline and calls people to join in an act of civil disobedience in front of the White House in order to protest the proposal:

* The civil disobedience protests have already taken place, during the last weeks of August and the very beginning of September. This video follows some of the protesters as they prepared for their action and protested peacefully and got arrested.

Sincerely, Abbie
