Charleston Climate Coalition: Fighting Creatively Against the Edisto Gas Plant & Pipeline

The Charleston Climate Coalition has been fighting against an ecocidal proposal from Dominion Energy: build one of the biggest gas plants in the nation on the Edisto River with a pipeline through the heart of the ACE Basin to fuel it. Belvin Olasov will walk attendees through the issue, the creative actions and storytelling being used to oppose it, and how Lowcountry residents can join in the fight.

Belvin Olasov is the Co-Founder and Director of the Charleston Climate Coalition and the Co-Editor-In-Chief of Surge Magazine. He believes in bringing creativity and heart to mending the climate crisis.  Free and open to the public.

Sierra Club & Piccolo Spoleto film screening: Andy Goldsworthy Leaning into the Wind
College of Charleston School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, 202 Calhoun Street, NW corner of Coming Street, Charleston, SC 29403.  Free admission.

This documentary film about Scottish landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy explores the ecology, design, and beauty of natural elements.  Leaning into the Wind follows Goldsworthy on his exploration of the world and himself through ephemeral and permanent workings on the landscape, cities and with his own body.  Goldsworthy is a self-described land artist so enraptured by nature that he manipulates found materials such as stones, branches, fallen trees, leaves, clay, rocks, vines and icicles in ways that honor their origins. Many works are intentionally ephemeral, destined to briefly exist before dissolving back into the flora and fauna from whence they came.

Sierra Club is the oldest and largest grassroots environmental organization in the US. The Lunz Group has over 2,000 members in Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, and Dorchester counties in South Carolina.  Piccolo Spoleto Festival is produced by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs to offer unique experiences in the arts, culture, and history.
