http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30556-fighting-for-our-oceans
Zoe Loftus-Farren, Earth Island Journal: In an era of seemingly unlimited threats to the environment, ocean health is one of the most urgent and severe challenges facing the planet today. Yet, there are some activists who have faced them head-on, and with astounding success.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30547-fossil-fuel-industry-s-heartland-institute-sending-team-to-explain-climate-to-pope-francis
David Ray Griffin, Clarity Press: As this excerpt from Unprecedented: Can Civilization Survive the CO2 Crisis? demonstrates, the Heartland Institute wants to "enlighten" the "misguided" pontiff to the "unequivocally good news" of global warming.
Want to Help Nepal Recover From the Quake? Cancel Its Debt
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30558-want-to-help-nepal-recover-from-the-quake-cancel-its-debt
Kanya D'Almeida, Inter Press Service: According to Jubilee USA Network, Nepal is scheduled to pay back $10 million worth of loans to the IMF in 2015 and nearly $13 million in 2016. Relieving the country of this burden will free up valuable and limited funds that can be redirected into the rescue and relief effort.
States Are Required to Educate Students Behind Bars, but Here's What Really Happens
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30559-states-are-required-to-educate-students-behind-bars-but-here-s-what-really-happens

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30563-syria-s-nightmarish-narrative

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30562-is-russia-headed-towards-nuclear-disarmament
Lizabeth Paulat, Care2: The US and Russia are busy pointing fingers at each other, but if and when these two sides work together on nuclear disarmament, they can achieve some monumental goals. There is evidence that Russia has been steadily reducing its number of nuclear weapons and complying with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Five Foods We Thought Were Bad for Us, Now Turn Out to Be Good
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30561-five-foods-we-thought-were-bad-for-us-now-turn-out-to-be-good
Larry Schwartz, AlterNet: There are many reasons why we are get conflicting information about the food we eat. The science behind what we ingest and how it affects our health is in its infancy. Whatever the reason, once corrected, a study may come to conclusions that are diametrically opposed to previous studies.
This week in Speakout: Lamont Lilly describes the Boston School Bus Union, Steelworkers Local 8751's unique new blueprint for building power within poor and working-class communities; Grant A. Mincy reports on Earth Day in the Everglades; Adam Finberg, director of the new documentary, The Business of Recovery, describes what he has learned from that project and what needs to be done; Evaggelos Vallianatos argues for small farmer sovereignty, and, in a separate post, describes the devastation wrought by industrial agriculture in Florida's Lake Apopka; in "The Science Fiction of Freddie Gray," Dominique Hazzard proposes a stunning thought experiment; Edward Tick offers some contextualizing facts to consider while commemorating the end of the Vietnam War; Nicholas Mele confronts the myth of redemptive violence; and more.
