Etc/GMT-8

Join the Beehive Collective for a visual workshop on "The True Cost of Coal"

When: Wednesday, November 10th from 4-6pm
Where: The Evergreen State College, Lecture Hall 3

Using a gigantic, portable mural teeming with intricate images of plants and
animals
, the Bees will walk participants through the connections between
mountain top removal coal mining, coal-fired electricity and climate change.
Using storytelling, small and full group discussions, we'll examine the
local to global impacts of our industrialized way of life, drawing out
connections to participants' daily lives. Together we will analyze real
costs, root causes, and what deep change can and does actually look like!

This workshop raises questions about resistance, regeneration, and
remediation while celebrating stories of struggle from impacted communities.
The TRUE COST OF COAL will challenge all of us who casually flip on a light
switch
to examine our own connections to the newest, most destructive forms
of coal mining and to think about what we can do to stop it from within our
own communities.
