ANNOUNCEMENT OF PUBLIC MEETING
 
President-elect Barack Obama has requested citizens meetings on a variety  of 
subjects.
 
On Wednesday, January 7, there will be a citizens discussion about "energy,  
environment, and poverty" at the Unitarian Universalist church, 840 Sandwich  
Road, in East Falmouth.   The meeting will begin at 7:00  pm.    The building 
is easily accessible for people with  disabilities.
 
This is a citizens meeting.    The comments received will be  forwarded to 
the Obama transition team.
 
Cape Cod has been identified as one of the places where there is grassroots  
interest in "energy justice."
The "energy justice" movement gives special  attention to the energy and 
environmental justice needs of
low-income people....  An "Energy Justice Forum" took place at Cape  Cod 
Community College on November 16th.   Several "energy justice"  events and 
exhibits have taken place in Falmouth in recent months.
 
"Energy justice" is one response to global warming and other coastal  
concerns....  Developing nations are major contributors to the global  warming 
problem.   "Energy justice" advocates ask for national and  international policies 
that will provide all people, in all places, with  adequate supplies of energy 
that are safe, affordable, and sustainable....   With this strategy, 
developing nations can rise above poverty levels, protect  natural areas, and make the 
transition from dirty fuels to clean energy  technology.
 
For additional information, contact the Unitarian Universalist church in  
Falmouth.    Telephone: (508) 457-0449.
