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.
(from Pat Rathmann) “Our UUCP friend and law professor Anastasia Telesetsky is giving a talk on “Planet Ocean: Why the Law of the Sea Matters in 21st Century America” This Wednesday at 12 noon in the Fiske Room. I plan on going. Maybe we can get her to give an evening presentation for our group.”
The following is an excerpt from the Idaho Conservation League announcement http://www.idahoconservation.
“ICL has teamed up with 350.org and Trillium Asset Management for “Fossil Fuel Free” – a discussion about thestrategy to combat global warming through fossil fuel divestment.
“Guest Speaker, Jay Carmona, the National Divestment Campaign Manager from 350.org, will explain the organization’s divestment campaign to encourage universities, businesses and individuals to divest from companies in the fossil fuel industry. She will also give ways that people can get involved in this campaign.
“Also, Will Lana from Trillium Asset Management, will provide socially responsible investing information for people interested in moving their personal investments out of coal, oil and gas companies. He will also talk about reinvesting in companies that are related to clean energy and a more sustainable economy.”

Please come celebrate all that Earth provides on April 22nd at the biggest Earth Day Fair ever on WashingtonState University’s Terrell Mall. This year there will be at least 25 Washington and Idaho community groups and WSU student groups that are involved in the sustainability of Earth tabling on The Mall. In addition to all the conscious groups that will be tabling and informing students, faculty, staff, and the public community of their sustainability-related mission, there will be an open-microphone for anyone to freely speak about the environment, other open-mic entertainment, and free “Earth Week 2014”: sustainable coffee mugs, magnets, t-shirts, and drawstring bags for visiting some of the Earth Day Fair group tables and learning about what they are all about. There will be many opportunities to get involved in the conservation, preservation, and restoration of Earth through the 25 groups that will be there. The WSU Earth Day Fair is sponsored by the ASWSU Environmental Sustainability Alliance and WSU Environmental Science Club. We truly hope to see there!
