PESC will have a table and we need people to help share with others about our mission, CCL and other upcoming events. Please let me know if you can help. The inaugural PCEI Sustainability Festival will bring together local businesses, community groups and individuals interested in creating a healthy, innovative and more sustainable Palouse. PCEI has identified water, food, waste, energy, ecology and health as the pillars of sustainability. Bring the family and come learn from local experts on ways to reduce your impact! Community Partners will have hands-on demonstrations and activities for all ages.

You are invited to the ‘March for Survival’ Sept. 21 at 2 pm in Pullman, followed by a Celebration at 6 pm in Moscow. We will walk from Pullman to Moscow on the Chipman trail in solidarity with the ‘People’s Climate March’, the biggest demonstration in the history of the climate change movement on the same day in NY City. Our March and Celebration are peaceful events of healing, hope, and inspiration for all. We will promote climate change awareness and support those suffering from the environmental consequences of Canada’s tar sands oil extraction, especially First Nations Peoples.
Our March begins at 2 pm at the head of the Chipman Trail (Quality Inn parking lot) with a Native American blessing by Roger Vielle. We will walk the length of the Chipman Trail to its endpoint across from the Palouse Mall (8 miles), with an option to exit at the halfway point. You are invited to bring signs expressing your concerns about climate change. Bring water bottles, snacks, and outdoor clothing suitable for an 8-mile walk (hot sunny weather is forecast).
Our Celebration begins at 6 pm in Friendship Square in Moscow, with a potluck, Native American drummers, local environmental speakers, and opportunities to connect with like-minded community members and groups.
Carpools will meet at 1 pm at the southeast corner of the Palouse Mall parking lot which is across the lot from Winco – (intersection of Pullman Rd & Farm Rd), across the road from the end of the Chipman trail. This will enable residents to return to Pullman or to go to Friendship Square after the March.
Organized by the Palouse Environmental Sustainability Coalition. For more information contact Lori Batina skydancer8@gmail.com, Pat Fuerst epfuerst@frontier.com, 509-339-5213, or our Facebook page “Palouse March for Survival”.
