Dana Lyons<\/strong><\/span>, songwriter, performer and activist<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Matt Krogh,<\/strong><\/span> North Sound Bay Keeper with RE Sources for Sustainable Communities<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
January 16, Noon-1:20pm, Fairhaven College Auditorium<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The same conditions that make Cherry Point the last, best site for a deep water port on the west coast also make it an immensely productive ecosystem, sustaining people for millennia. Cherry Point is squarely in the sights of coal companies desperate for new markets.\u00a0 Matt and Dana will discuss the economic roots of the problem and the probable impacts if Gateway Pacific Terminal goes forward, describe the growing resistance to NW coal export, and offer ways both to resist and to affirm a positive vision for the future.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
January 16- <\/strong><\/span>Matt Krogh<\/strong><\/span> is the North Sound Baykeeper at RE Sources for Sustainable Communities, and the northwest Washington director of the Power Past Coal coalition. He earned BS and MS degrees from Huxley College in Environmental Science and Geography, respectively. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Dana Lyons <\/strong><\/span>is a songwriter, performer, and activist with an intimate knowledge of local and regional environmental and social causes. He has been touring the coal transport route from the Powder River Basin to the San Juans, working with community members to empower them to stop Gateway Pacific Terminal.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
