<DIV>THE ENVIRONMENT and HUMAN RIGHTS</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Discussions about energy issues and the environment often focus on new
technology... At some point in the energy policy discussion, people on the
coast of Massachusetts need to ask, "Who cares for the elderly, for the
working poor, and for others who are trying to obtain heat and light?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Three unusual energy and environment events are now scheduled.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OCTOBER 15th (Wednesday): "Energy Justice Expo," for
Falmouth.... Basic information on low income fuel assistance, home
weatherization, and related services.... This event will start at 7:00 pm,
at the Unitarian Universalist church, 840 Sandwich Road, in East
Falmouth.... Free. Open to the public. The event is easily
accessible for people with disabilities... The Sierra Club's Cape Cod and
Islands Group is providing much of the support.... TELEPHONE: (508)
457-0449, for information.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OCTOBER 17th (Friday): "Pastoral Care Week," at Falmouth
Hospital.... Chaplains and their assistants will be providing basic
information about fuel assistance, home weatherization, and related
services... The information will be available in the Faxon Lobby, at the
hospital, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>NOVEMBER 16th (Sunday afternoon): "Energy Justice Rally," at Cape Cod
Community College.... Basic information about fuel assistance, home energy

the national Sierra Club, will be among the chief speakers...

the Sierra Club, and a long list of community and religious groups concerned
about the environment and human rights.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>America's economic future looks "difficult." How do we protect
the coastal environment while honring human needs? How do we
provide all people, in all places, with adequate sources of energy that are
safe, affordable, and sustainable? Some new
discussions for "environmental justice" are now developing on the coast of
Massachusetts.... Your participation will be
appreciated.....</DIV>
