ghostsofevolution's video: Leonard Higgins - What Can I Do About Climate Change

Dec 2016 Leonard Higgins joined with the four other 'valve turners' in speaking to an enthusiastic audience in Seattle — just two months after the group simultaneously shut down all five pipelines carrying Canadian tar sands in the USA. Higgins shut down the tar sands pipeline in a remote location in Montana. Here he talks about why; given the severe climate crisis, he felt "called" to do so. He explains that climate activists who undertake direct action are fulfilling a public necessity and thereby defending the right of future generations to a livable planet. Note: This short video contains excerpts from an hour-long video filmed by Ed Mays at the Seattle event, and then posted on his youtube channel here: https://youtu.be/00twEWG1T2w The 'valve turner' who shut down the tar sands pipeline in North Dakota (Michael Foster) has his comments excerpted here: https://youtu.be/A8szo2y1xxw The team that shut down two pipelines in Minnesota (Emily Johnston and Annette Klapstein) are excerpted here: https://youtu.be/o_fKl4ju8HA Other videos (and news reports) that feature the Valve Turners can be accessed through this archival webpage of linked (and annotated) videos and news: http://thegreatstory.org/valve-turner...
