What's Greta Thunberg been doing? - and a new Gold Mine in Alaska

 a FYI

Greta Thunberg arrested for demonstrating, then released and makes press comments. BBC News.

On both occasions, she was part of a group of protesters that blocked the road for oil trucks in Malmo harbour.

Outside court she said there was "no option but to continue to take action".

When I posted this on FB, a friend said she had read about it in the NYT. I'm glad to hear that.

AND on another note...how about gold mining to begin again in Alaska?

Here's a NPR article which goes in depth to all the aspects to be considered, for a mine which didn't have to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (somehow) and the state of Alaska has partially funded.

Yes it should probably get its own post, but I keep squeezing these in together when more than one thing happens before it gets published!!
