[SEMCO] Energy Justice and the Environment

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

ENERGY POLICY  ON THE COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS
 
Energy prices on Cape Cod and  on the Massachusetts islands are very  high.   
The economy is in bad shape.....  The cold weather season  has started....   
How can we help our neighbors while protecting our  region's natural 
environment?    What does "environmental  justice" require in our region?
 
On Sunday afternoon, November 16th,   environmentalists  and others will 
gather  at Cape Cod Community College for a new  discussion about energy 
issues....  Leslie Fields,  a senior staff  person for the national Sierra Club, will 
be one of the chief  speakers....   She'll discuss "energy justice" and global  
warming.
 
How do we solve environmental problems while protecting and helping  
low-income families?
 
State Senator Robert O'Leary will also be one of the major speakers.
 
The November 16th event is free...  It starts at 2:00 pm at the Tilden  Arts 
Center....  Everybody invited.
 
Co-sponsors include Cape Light Compact, the Sierra Club's Cape Cod and  
Islands Group, the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission, the Cape Cod  Council 
of Churches, and a long list of other organizations that are concerned  about 
human rights, human dignity,  and environmental quality.
 
We'll have some practical information that families can use to obtain fuel  
assistance.
 
The Woods Hole rally for "energy justice" will take place on January 1,  
2009,  on Water Street.
Every year  - since the year 2001 -  area residents have gathered  in Woods 
Hole to express support
for fuel assistance and affordable shelter on Cape Cod....   It's  a local 
tradition....
