Guardian: When we think of hunger strikes historical figures tend to come to mind: Gandhi, the suffragettes, Irish republican Bobby Sands. But what would it look like if we transplanted this established form of protest into the digital age? The recent fast for the climate campaign may give us a starting point. The campaign has drawn its inspiration from Philippines climate change commissioner Yeb Sano's 13-day hunger strike at the post-Typhoon Haiyan's COP19.

Huffington Post: The indefinite delay in the Keystone XL approval process is a blessing for the forces of good, if the sputtering rage of the forces of darkness serves as any indication. While litigation is necessary to determine whether TransCanada has any legal pathway through the state of Nebraska, anti-KXL activists have more time to convince their compatriots, Congress, and the Obama administration that Keystone XL is a disaster in the making.
