Progresstival - February 4!

The Coulee Region group Sierra Club will have a table at the February 4 Progresstival (6 pm, Concordia Ballroom) and we invite you to attend and spread the word. This will be an important opportunity for those who care about our environment and natural resources to come together, share ideas, and plan ways to strengthen protections against increasingly harsh attacks.

Will Governor Walker succeed in ripping apart our state's Department of Natural Resources? Will Republicans in the legislature pass their bill to allow Concentrated Animal Feed Operations (CAFOs) to "regulate" their own water pollution? Will any mention (not to mention plans to address and mitigate) CLIMATE CHANGE ever return to state of Wisconsin web sites?

What about the future of frac sand mining in our area? Will new restrictions be put in place to hinder local communities from regulating this dangerous and polluting industry? Is more mining in our state's future? Will more Wisconsin counties find their well water polluted by giant farms? What about state and national parks and refuges? Will they be sold off to the highest bidder?

Our natural and wild areas, our precious natural resources, our access to public lands are all under attack. Now is the time to connect with others and plan our defenses. Please plan to attend and share this event and flyer with others!
