Re: Sierra Club Screening Coal Country in Greater Boston Area
Embargo: For Immediate Release
The Sierra Club along with Conservation Law Foundation, Global Warming Education Network, Greenpeace New England, and Students For a Just and Stable Future are screening the movie Coal Country in three Greater Boston locations. The movie is about the lifecycle of coal from mining, processing, burning, and disposal. The movie is approximately 45 minutes in length and will be followed by a discussion on local coal and energy issues and how to take action.
“Coal is literally killing us by dumping toxic pollution into our air, water, and land,” said Drew Grande, the Massachusetts coordinator for the Beyond Coal Campaign of the Sierra Club. “The pollution from these coal plants is in the air we breathe, water we drink, and literally making us sick.”
All screenings are free. There are three coal-fired power stations in Massachusetts; including Salem Harbor Station which is owned and operated by Richmond, VA based Dominion Energy.
