Note from Brian Koepke:
“We have a conflicting event on the Terrell Mall on April 18th that will distract from what we are all trying to do, so the ASWSU Environmental Task Force and WSU Environmental Science Club would like to invite you to come on Wednesday, April 17th from 9am-3pm (any time you have available during this period would be great). I am truly sorry about the change of plans, but I hope the organizations that have already confirmed: PESC, WIRT, Palouse Transition, PPF, and the Latah Trail Foundation, can still participate in our community tabling event and, maybe, this makes it possible for other environmentally conscious groups to come. We have other WSU groups that will be out there as well.”

This is the third Alberta oil sands presentations Parking: Free on-campus after 5pm in ‘Yellow Lots’ on Rayburn Street. We support what Jakob Magolan (UI organizer of event) said before: please be courteous, listen to the oil industry’s perspective without disruption. Let people ask questions.
The ASWSU Environmental Task Force is proud to host Emily Hunter, daughter of Greenpeace’s founding president Robert Hunter, advocacy journalist and environmental activist. Over the past eight years, she has battled on the high seas of Antarctica to save whales; was held hostage in her attempt to protect the Galapagos Islands from illegal poaching; put a spotlight on the Canadian tar sands (the second largest oil project next to Saudi Arabia) with a TV documentary she hosted for MTV Canada; and stood on the protest frontlines at the Copenhagen climate summit. Currently, she works as a freelance environmental journalist, occasionally hosting and producing TV documentaries. Come hear Emily speak at Todd Auditorium on April 17th from 7-9 pm. There will also be a book signing for her newest publication The Next Eco-Warriors: 22 Young Women and Men Who are Saving the Planet.
