[act-ma] Same Design, Same Danger: Should Pilgrim Nuclear Plant Close?

[Tracy Bindel]

SHOULD THE PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CLOSE? (more details below)
January 25 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
First Church JP, 6 Eliot Street

In the face of catastrophic climate change, some have suggested that
nuclear power is a carbon-free solution.  Is nuclear power a viable
carbon-free option?  What are the risks nuclear power and of the existing
Pilgrim plant?   Come join this important forum.

Thirty-five miles away from Jamaica Plain sits Pilgrim Nuclear Power
Station in Plymouth, the only operating nuclear power plant in
Massachusetts, built in 1972.  Operated by the Louisiana-based Energy
Corporation, the Pilgrim plant is the same design (General Electric Mark 1)
as the power plants that melted down in Fukushima, Japan.  Should this
plant continue to operate?

Join local activists and experts for this important conversation.

​Friends, ​

Join the Jamaica Plain Forum for one of the most relevant emergency
preparedness conversations to date. *On Sunday, January 25th at 3pm at
First Church JP, *local activists and experts will gather together to
discuss the nuclear power plant that is located a mere thirty-five miles
away from Jamaica Plain.

*Come learn about the viability and risks of nuclear power and about the
emergency preparedness challenges Boston faces with a nuclear plant so
close to home.*

Hope to see you there,

Tracy Bindel

P.S. Special thanks to Paul Normandia and Red Sun Press for the graphic

Redesigning Civilization: Permaculture's Vision for a Just and Sustainable

[image: Hemenway_Vargas.jpg]It’s no secret that our society has become
unsustainable. Modern agriculture, industry and finance all extract more
than they give back, and the Earth is starting to show the strain. How did
we get in this mess? And, more importantly, what can we do to help our
culture get back on track?

The ecological design approach known as permaculture offers powerful tools
for the design of regenerative, fair ways to provide food, energy,
livelihood, and other needs while letting humans share the planet with the
rest of nature. This presentation will give you insight into why our
culture has become fundamentally unsustainable, and offers ecologically
based solutions that can help create a just and sustainable society.
