Kate was sunbathing topless. Seems like a text message you could receive from a friend, until you add in the all-important details: she is also the Duchess of Cambridge, was privately vacationing in France when the photos were snapped and those photos were published by the French magazine, Closer. Middleton, who has been living a true-life Cinderella story after marrying Prince William, Duke of Cambridge last year, has been dealing with a royal nightmare lately.

Larry Gibson cites risks of mountaintop removal
Last Tuesday, Board President of the Keeper of the Mountains Foundation Larry Gibson lectured in the Polaris Lounge, discussing the Appalachian area's destruction through mountaintop removal and encouraging people to get involved to help end it and transition to clean energy. The event was primarily hosted by Students for Environmental Action and the Environmental Health and Social Justice Justice Brandeis Semester, with the additional interest and support of other clubs. Mountaintop removal, a type of mining involving removing the upper layers of a mountain to gain easier access to coal, is a widely used method in the Appalachian Mountains. Gibson, who was raised in West Virginia on Kayford Mountain and still lives on the same land, has been fighting a battle to end it for over 20 years. Gibson recalled when the coal-extraction process first began near his home and how easily he thought it could be halted: "I figure I'll tell people [to spread the word and stop it], and in six months we'll get this fixed.
Activists walk to aid the environment
This past Saturday, Brandeis students joined Bentley University students and members of the Waltham community for Moving Planet, an international day to put demands for climate action into motion and encourage the world to move beyond fossil fuels, according to the Moving Planet website. For Brandeis students, the day included a meet-up in Waltham with speakers and music, followed by a bike ride or commuter rail trip into Boston to join a larger, more cohesive rally, all in the effort to move the planet toward a clean energy future. Moving Planet drew participation from several members of the Brandeis community, including undergraduates, graduate students and professors, who contributed everything from designing posters to giving speeches. It was powerful to "come together and hear each other's stories, share experiences, and bond with other people who feel the same way as you [in terms of environmental issue]," wrote Lisa Purdy '14, a member of Brandeis' Moving Planet planning committee, in an email to the Justice. The event was intended to highlight four main demands that revolve around the idea of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to below 350 parts per million, or the "safe upper limit" of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, according the Moving Planet website. As described on the website, the demands outline the creation of science-based policies to get the world back to 350 ppm, a transition to cutting carbon emission to zero and lifting the rights of people and nature over the rights of polluters."
