Since my post this morning, I’ve come across two coal-related videos that couldn’t be timed better.
First, the trailer for the documentary The Last Mountain, which will be playing in Bellingham at our own Pickford Film Center in July.
In that trailer, a woman says, “You’re connected to coal, whether you realize it or not. Everybody’s connected to this.”
And, if there was any doubt, the second video is of an actual coal train rolling through Bellingham, along Bellingham Bay, on it’s way to Vancouver, B.C. Imagine 18 or more of these…per day.
So, let’s get prepared for this fight. Do your homework and become well-informed, participate however you can, whether it’s signing web petitions, donating money, blogging, Tweeting, Facebooking, or showing up at public meetings.
