Liquefied Natural Gas Workshop this Thursday!!


We hope you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to seeing you this Thursday for a vegan potluck and an awesome workshop that we have been in the process of organizing for quite some time! Olivia Schmidt of Columbia RiverKeeper will give a presentation on the current proposals for Liquefied Natural Gas import terminals and related pipelines in the Pacific Northwest. Her presentation focuses on the environmental and economic impacts of these proposals, project specifics, community response to these projects and empowering folks to get involved in the movement away from fossil fuel
dependence and toward a decentralized, renewable energy future. Folks attending the presentation will have access to informational literature and can discuss ways of getting more involved in this vital movement. LNG development is an
environmental and social justice issue that is impacting folks on a local, regional and global level -- come learn more about these proposals and how to be a part of stopping fossil fuel development.

"Is it too late to prevent us from self-destructing? No, for we have the capacity to design our own future, to take a lesson from living things around us and bring our values and actions in line with ecological necessity. But we must first realize that ecological and social and economic issues are all deeply intertwined. There can be no solution to one without a solution to the
others."
~ Jean-Michel Cousteau
