Mountain Justice Blacksburg

Just wanted to send a quick reminder that tomorrow is Mountain Justice Day, part of Earth Week at Virginia Tech. We’ll have the Concerned Citizens of Giles County and the Beehive Collective tabling outside of the campus library from about 10-3:

At 7:00pm, we’ll have Larry Gibson speaking, joined by an interactive art project with the Beehive Collective:

Please spread the word, and we hope to see you at Mountain Justice Day tomorrow!

Just wanted to let everyone know that our meeting this week is on Wednesday at 7 in Squires 236.  There were no rooms available for Monday, so we had to stick with our original time.

Agenda items:

• Kayford trip
• AEP shareholders meeting
• Earth day
• Mountain Justice day

Hope to see you there!

Just wanted to remind you that we’re having our weekly Mountain Justice meeting tonight at 7:30 in Squires 232. It’d be great to come out to this meeting as we finalize last minute things for *Fossil Fools day! *In fact, if you’d like to stay after the meeting a little bit, we’ll begin some preparatory work for our FFD shenanigans and we could use all the help we can get.  Let’s just say, if guerrilla art is your thing…you’ll want to be there.

Agenda items:

• Fossil Fools busy-ness
• Earth day: tabling and AEP shareholders meeting bustup
• MTR day
• anything else you’d like to talk about

Hope to see you there!

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has been battered by criticism from environmentalists over his support of a new coal-fired power plant for southwest Virginia, which Dominion Virginia Power says is essential to the state’s energy needs but which could also lead to higher utility rates for consumers statewide.The controversy pits Kaine (D), who has made environmental protection a top priority, against a sizable chunk of his political base, even though the governor said he is powerless to stop the project even if he wanted to. The State Corporation Commission and other regulatory agencies issue the construction permits.
