What’s Next for Vermont’s Climate Change Economy? 10/29/2015

Area businesses and nonprofits are increasingly involved with climate change--both its challenges and opportunities. Their creative solutions are becoming a growing part of our state’s economy. The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) public forums hears from people already adapting and growing businesses that lower Vermont’s carbon impact and gathers ideas from the public on how to nurture this emerging field, include this Burlington venue.

The forums are the next step for public input to the Vermont Climate Change Economy Council. This group, formed following a statewide Summit in February, is developing a practical plan to reduce carbon emissions and stimulate green economic development in Vermont. The panelists include local business leaders and elected officials.

The Summit focused on economic development in a time of climate change, including transportation, education, investment strategies, downtown redevelopment, tourism, and efficiency. The report, which provides excellent background material for the forum, is online at vtrural.org/programs/summits/2015-climate-economy-report

Ad Hoc Climate Justice: 3-DAY Non-Violent Occupation and Civil Disobedience in Protest of the Proposed Fracked Gas Pipeline 10/24/2015

From Jerome Lipani:

DE-COLONIZE!!!
RisingTideVermont & 350VT.org join major anti fracked gas pipeline activist Elders who speak eloquently to the naked corporate aggression of Vermont Gas Systems in their attempted collusion with the Vermont Department of Public Service throughout the quasi-judicial process carried on for 3 years by the Vermont Public Service Board. A secret backroom deal with VT's Gov Shumlin and VGS is about to allow VGS - a private corporation -- to levy Eminent Domain against landowners in Chittendon County who oppose the construction of the pipeline through their lands. The "backroom deal" / MOU referred to in this film is the $20,000,000 VGS "price reduction" -- signed by Chris Recchia, head of the Dept. of Public Service and Gov. Shumlin a week or so prior to this Action -- contingent, of course, on actual future construction cost-overruns! Non-violent Civil Disobedience blockade on the 3rd day of Occupation leads to Arrests of 3 activists. Agitprop theater by RisingTide/350VT shows that an intense process of personal soul searching fueled by climate science is necessary to transform worldwide corporate fossil fuel exploitation and resultant global warming extinction scenario into the movement that will save life on our planet for future generations. Inter-Generational and inter-Cultural Solidarity!!!
RISE UP! SHUT IT DOWN!
