Check out the Wisescape exhibit and other conservation information at the exhibit booth! The City will be at the Latah County Fairgrounds to answer questions, provide literature and show off the latest water saving programs.
The City of Moscow and Avista are hosting a free admission showing of Liquid Assets from 5:30pm–8:00pm. This 90 minute documentary explores the critical role that our water infrastructure plays in protecting public health and promoting economic prosperity. The film viewing, at the Kenworthy theater, will begin with a reception and book sale of Drinking Water- A History, James Salzman. He is the keynote speaker at the October Palouse Basin Water Summit.
Megaloads? Tar Sands? Pipelines? Climate Change? What’s the Connection? Explore these questions with local citizens who journeyed to the tar sands of northern Alberta to join the First Nations (Native Americans) and other concerned citizens from across the continent for the Healing Walk. Led by First Nations elders and leaders, participants witnessed the scale of environmental devastation caused by tar sands mining and crude oil processing.
Six local healing walkers will share what they learned on their solidarity journey, connecting the local and regional megaloads, huge pipeline projects, impacts on people and places, and overarching climate change and moral issues. Their presentation and discussion, A Healing Walk Through the Alberta Tar Sands, will be on Saturday, December 7 from 3 to 5pm. This event is in the Arts Workshop room immediately following the Winter Market at the 1912 Center, 412 E. Third St., Moscow. Sponsored by the Palouse Environmental Sustainability Coalition, Wild Idaho Rising Tide, Idaho Sierra Club and 350 Idaho. For further information, contact Pat Fuerst, epfuerst@frontier.com.
