The landscape in the Pacific Northwest is gorgeous, amazingly beautiful islands

Some of the most beautiful geography in all of North America in my estimation

All of that could be really put at risk if there is an oil spill in this area

I know there's a lot of people who might feel helpless in this moment

Helpless seeing this, but I want them to know that we're

standing with them, we're standing for them, and we're standing by them

But we have to fight

The tankers would come in the Straits of Juan de Fuca and southbound coming out

and out that way, but there's also the refineries, like here in Anacortes

There'd be a lot of traffic coming in this way and up here and across Rosario Strait

and into Anacortes. And you can see it's very narrow channels. There's a lot of

rocks everywhere. There's a lot of tides there's a lot of hazards to navigation

besides a lot of small boats and logs and everything else which can cause some problems

Numerous impacts, not all of which we can even imagine that would happen if it was a big spill.

Ecologically it's absolutely devastating

I mean every marine mammal, every fish, every little creature at the bottom of

the food chain would be in jeopardy and it's not just the potential for oil spills.

The orca whales that live right here. They're starting from here to

about 30 miles south of here at the bottom of Haro Strait is their stomping

grounds in the summertime. They're here to eat Chinook salmon

This is where they usually are right around in this area, up in here and even if there's not an oil

spill, which is it's inevitable there will eventually be an oil spill

The statistics show that we're at a very high risk of an oil spill, but just the

noise alone and the increased traffic is going to affect the orcas where they

probably will go extinct, the southern resident population if we continue on this route

As we're passing through, we just witnessed a pod of orcas passing by and it

was absolutely beautiful. This is our home. This is my home. These waters are my home

and it has been my people's home for time immemorial, but it's also been

the orcas home. These are the waters that they go through all the time.

If the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion

moves forward, that would mean a sevenfold increase in tanker

and barge traffic through these waters

I joined Greenpeace in 1989 after seeing the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. I used to work up in Alaska

I don't want to see tankers in my backyard. I know how devastating and how

damaging they are and we have to do everything we can to keep them out

We have enough problems right now with climate change. We're in a crisis

situation where we can't even deal with the effects of climate change and so to

increase that, it's like adding insult to injury to allow fossil fuel

infrastructure projects to be started and expanded when we have to be doing

just the opposite. We have to be getting off of fossil fuels immediately if

there's any chance to save this

We can't handle a spill in these waters and the climate can't handle tar sands expansion

One thing that's very exciting about the fight against the Trans Mountain expansion project is that it's led by Indigenous people

The environmental non-profits have been standing with the Indigenous people and following their lead

I think that's incredibly powerful

I don't want to say I didn't do anything. I want to say I did everything I can to fight

That's what I want to be able to say

Most Underrated Places for Fall Foliage in America - Duration: 3:16.

The United States is teeming with multicolored beauty through the autumn season, and there

are some unique destinations to add to your list for leaf peeping.

Maybe you've already discovered these gems, but these are the fall foliage stops you should

not overlook.

Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho - Idaho's prime peeping period is September through October, so take

a drive along the scenic byway from Sandpoint to the Montana border for a vast display.

Portland Japanese Garden, Oregon - This 5.5-acre garden possesses an unexpected magic when

fall strikes.

Trees within the exotic outdoor escape bring a different take on fall color that's a welcomed

treat for those who haven't experienced Asia in the autumn.

Sweet Creek Trail, Oregon - Let's be honest, all of Oregon radiates with autumn glory.

This trail's winding bridges and paths become coated with fiery-hued leaves, and Oregon's

signature moss adds a touch of vibrant green to the rich colors from the trees.

Seattle, Washington - You don't always have to hike deep into the wilderness to see outstanding foliage.

Seattle's tree-lined streets mean lots of deep reds and rich oranges in view from your

favorite coffee shop or restaurant.

June Lake Loop, California - accented by a jagged mountain backdrop and an explosion

of dominantly bright yellow aspens, you can soak up the autumn scenery while lounging

by the lake.

Flagstaff, Arizona - Leaf lovers can ride the chairlift to admire the slopes blanketed

with golden splendor.

Whether you're strolling through town or wooded paths, there will be quite the show wherever

you go.

Banner Elk, North Carolina - Surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains meld with beautifully colored

trees for a fantastic view of autumn's splendor.

One of the best vantage points is the famous Mile-High Swinging Bridge atop Grandfather

Mountain.

Boise, Idaho - With mountains in the background and plenty of trees dotting the streets, the

artsy, enriching city turns into a breathtaking urban forest come fall.

Drive in any direction from Boise, and you are bound to see even more gorgeous scenery.

Bar Harbor, Maine - Mid-October is prime time for the color show and the diversity of autumn

shades makes for an attractive spread.

The multi-hued treescapes and the blue ocean views create quite the combo too.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Moose, elk and sheep roam about and dramatic mountains create a

stark contrast in color, while lakes reflect all the beauty like giant mirrors.

My Northwestern Direction: Antonia Cereijido '14 - Duration: 1:00.

For me the most gratifying thing is when somebody opens up and is willing to

share their experience with me. It's really what keeps me going. The Latino

USA is a show on NPR that tells stories about the Latino community here in the U.S.

There's a broadcast class that was great and I did a story about how Chicago

was closing down half of the mental health clinics -- it was like the first

experience I had feeling like I hit something deeper - that I hit a deeper

connection with somebody I was interviewing and it was really powerful.

That's really led to the work that I do today, I always try to reach that point

where I feel like I'm actually revealing the person and not just talking about a topic.

To me journalism is something that's very personal and I learned that while

at Northwestern. "For Latino USA I'm Antonia Cereijido."

Burger King® | Sourdough Philly Cheese King™ | Food Review! 🍔👑🧀🥩 - Duration: 5:01.

welcome to peep this out reviews with Ian K stay frosty

well it looks like BK is taking us back east for its latest king promo and if you're a Philly

cheesesteak fan you've definitely got a reason to sit up and take notice that's

right and as you just saw it's the Philly cheese King and in this case the

sourdough version and I have to say they are most definitely not messing around

this one features tons of cheese a half pound of beef and caramelized onions in

between two pieces of sourdough bread let's pop the top on this one here and

check out this monstrosity of goodness Wow lots of caramelized onion goodness

guys we have an American cheese sauce in this and there is plenty of it including

two additional slices of American cheese and that's separated between two beef

patties I'm gonna try and separate this as best as possible but it is definitely

stuck together I'm trying my best for you but as you can see lots of glue

cheese together on this one and nothing on the bottom apparently but man a

simple build on this one but let me just say it is absolutely delicious looking

and I still can't get over how much cheese sauce is on the very top of this

here guys look at those onions it looks absolutely mouth-watering and it smells

really really great we're getting into this right now this is the

sourdough Philly cheese King here at BK let's peep out this flavor we're absolutely

going wit wiz on this one with plenty of caramelized onions mixed into that

cheese sauce let's dive in it's the sourdough Philly cheese king and just

look at this thing here we go oh my god oh my god that's all I can say Oh

insane hold on

Oh man you have no idea what you're in for

mmm let me just show you hands-down my second favorite King burger right behind

the farmhouse King this is an absolute explosion of beefy flavor cheesy flavor

and some nice caramelized onions to go with let me squeeze on top here guys

look at the cheese sauce it is off the chain in terms of flavor and just a very

gluttonously delicious burger along with the sourdough which is not quite crispy

but man it is holding everything together and it clearly delivers the

taste to match these awesome looks I mean come on it's flame grilled beef and

plenty of melted cheese how bad can that really be and when you add the

caramelized onions thrown into the mix which really are not too oily even

though you think it probably would be guys the flavor is really off the chain

and like I mentioned the sourdough itself is not really crispy on top

although it kind of gives you the illusion that it is the flavor I'm not

really getting anything from that but I got to say overall with the meat the

cheese and the caramelized onions that is the straight star of the show on this

one as it should be this is pretty fantastic and just like the extra long

Philly cheeseburger that I reviewed a while back we've got plenty of stringy

onions in here as well it kind of looked like there wasn't gonna be any of these

when I flipped the top on this one during that initial close-up but guys

there's a few of them in here be very careful mmm so good the king burgers

reigns supreme here at BK in my opinion no disrespect to the whopper but there's

absolutely nothing else on the menu right now that comes close to how this

satisfies the way that it does if you're a fan of meat and cheese which I think

most of you guys are you need to be running over to BK ASAP this is highly

worth your time and hey it's cool that you've got your choice of either

sourdough or the standard sesame seed bun that the king burgers normally come

on when you give this one a shot and it's actually a very cool option to have

because the sourdough itself doesn't really give you as much give as the

standard bun so when you dive into that it's like you're kind of getting through

it and then you go right into the meat and the cheese it's a really awesome

eating experience so definitely start off with a sourdough and as for the

overall rating I'm gonna have to give this sourdough Philly cheese king here

at BK a rock solid 10 out of 10 this one is easily up there

with the farmhouse king my all-time favorite King burger here at BK and I

have to say you can't go wrong with the amount of meat the amount of cheese

that's on this and the caramelized onions are just the icing on the cake

guys on top of the sourdough bread giving you that nice little bite like I

mentioned earlier easily recommended go get it only at Burger King alright

enough excitement on that one because I want to get back to finishing this right

now drop some comments down below how awesome did this burger look to you

right now are you super excited to give it a shot and if you purists out there

are down with Philly cheesesteak especially from back east what did you

guys think of this version of it from BK dropp those comments down below and

definitely let me know and with that this is Ian K closing out another

episode of peep this out bringing you brand new content every single week here

meantime stay frosty hey yo Adrian I think we got a winner
