How do we know it is happening?
What are greenhouse gases?
How do they cause global warming?
How is human activity involved?
What are the likely consequences?
How sure are we?
What can we do about it?

Join CLEAN as we feature Manufactured Landscapes as part of our 2008 Environmental Film Series. Manufactured Landscapes is the portrait of one man’s voyage as it follows celebrated still photographer Edward Burtynsky on a tour of Asia. Burtynsky takes large-format stills of industrial landscapes: factory workers lined up in infinity, giant ships eviscerated, massive recycling dumps, expansive strip mines. His goal is to portray humanity’s relationship to nature as we pursue progress. When Burtynsky speaks, he neither celebrates or condemns but simply explores who were are in relation to our planet. We extract things from the environment to survive, and that is damaging the world.

We started Democracy Now! for a simple reason: to uncover the truth and to tell the stories that most media ignore. One of the most important stories they are missing is the exciting grassroots movement for better media.

Get one (or many) of our highly-popular ""Support Our Troops - Impeach Bush-Cheney" bumper stickers and do your part to send a truly patriotic message, while getting more people thinking about the "I" word.
It seems clear that most elected officials and mainstream media are waiting for the public to initiate a demand to hold W accountable, so let's send the message!
Our bumper stickers are 3 x 10 inches, and may be removed and re-applied (a few times) for those times when you want to attend a Bush rally. In addition, they are perfect for covering up scratches on your bumper or other places on your car, boat, plane, or military vehicle. Perhaps you know of some troops in Iraq who might want some!
Tired of attending protests where the only people who see you are your fellow protestors?
Want to let the average Houstonian know that there are others who also want the US and Israel to stop their invasions and occupations in the Middle East, and who want the Liar-in-Chief and his Vice President of Torture to be impeached?
Here's and easy and fun way for you and your signs to be seen by THOUSANDS of people during a weekday rush hour. Join us as we hold up large signs and banners on one of the bridges over the Southwest Freeway and Gulf Freeway. Short Videos Photos Photos on Indymedia Houston Chronicle article We hope you'll want to add your events to the PAA online calendar to make it easy for others to learn about them. Events on our calendar show up automatically in the upcoming events list in the right column of our home page. Also, we place events entered here in the middle column of our home page as date for the event gets close, to give it more prominence. In addition, we include these events in our "Upcoming Progressive Events" e-mail sent to our announcements list every week or two.
Want to wear a shirt that sends a powerful message for regime change here at home?
We have two shirts that we designed, and which we hope will help to get the general public thinking more about why we need to get the criminals out of the White House. These shirts are ones that we hope you'll want to wear when you go shopping, to restaurants, to neighborhood and cultural events, and other places -- not just to political gatherings. You'll be impressed with how many smiles, thumbs up, and other positive responses that you get.
