Emma Bee of The Beehive Design Collective is currently touring across the U.S. to present her art organization's work -- creative murals that tell the narrative of social justice issues in America. 

She’s one of 10 core members who do this full-time. It’s an all-volunteer group based in Machias, Maine that develops works in a collaborative atmosphere. 

"We think of ourselves as cross-pollinating grassroots actions with art," she says. "The Beehive -- get it?"

A group of actors and celebrities -- including Ethan Hawke, Mark Ruffalo and Zoë Saldana -- have joined the fight against drilling for natural gas in upstate New York's Marcellus Shale rock.

In the video, sponsored by clean water advocacy group Clean Water Not Dirty Drilling, the featured artists comment on the threat to their water source. Ruffalo also released a statement with the launch of the video, saying:

On May 19, an independent panel commissioned by the former governor of West Virginia released a report detailing what went wrong at Massey Energy Co.'s Upper Big Branch mine.

Davitt McAteer, who authored the report, has called the disaster "an accident waiting to happen", describing the disaster as a product of failure of both management and safety protocol.

Zoë Tryon was born into a well-known, socialite family in England, but she was always intrigued by the rustic rather than the refined things in life.

After studying anthropology at Manchester University, she left to explore the Amazon jungles and get hands-on experience among indigenous Ecuadorian tribes, such as the Waorani, Cofán, Siona, Secoya, and Kichwa.
