The woman who went on stage topless at the Juno Awards in Edmonton on Monday said she did it to bring attention to the loss of natural carbon-capturing areas across Canada.

Ever Hatherly, 37, (legal name Casey Hatherly) appeared in Edmonton court on a mischief charge Wednesday and said the stunt created international buzz around climate change. “That’s part of why I do my environmental activism topless — because it’s good for headlines,” said Hatherly, who is from Vancouver.

Messages written on the Hatherly’s bare torso read “Land back” and “Save the Greenbelt,” referring to Ontario’s decision last year to open a protected area of land for housing. “The Greenbelt is one of our amazing carbon sinks in Canada,” said Hatherly. “We also have the old growth forests in B.C.

which are being logged as we speak.” Hatherly said her group On to Ottawa is heading to the capital to demand a citizen’s assembly – a randomly selected group of Canadians that would be convened to discuss an issue – on climate action. “We have such a short amount of time to make these drastic actions,” she said.

In Colorado River talks, still no agreement about water cuts
BOULDER CITY, Nev. - The Biden administration released an environmental analysis Tuesday of competing plans for how seven Western states and tribes reliant on the dwindling water supply from the Colorado River should cut their use but declined to publicly take a side on the best option.On one side is California and some tribes along the river that want to protect their high-priority rights to the river’s water, which they use for drinking and farming. On the other side are the other six states — Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico — who say it’s time to come up with an approach that more fairly shares the river.The Interior Department did not say how states should get to deeper water cuts, but defended its authority to make sure basic needs such as drinking water and hydropower generated from the river are met — even if it means setting aside the priority system."Failure is not an option," Interior Deputy Secretary Tommy Beaudreau told The Associated Press.The 1,450-mile (2,334-kilometer) powerhouse of the West serves 40 million people across seven states, which span tribal land, and Mexico, generates hydroelectric power for regional markets, and irrigates nearly 6 million acres (2,428 hectares) of farmland.A multi-decade drought in the West intensified by climate change, rising demand and overuse has sent water levels at key reservoirs along the river to unprecedented lows.
