03 Dec '08

The WVU Sierra Student Coalition and the Morgantown High Green Initiative Club will be hosting activist Elisa Young from Miegs County, Ohio at the Warner Theater on Saturday night at 5 pm. She will speak about how coal fired power plants have had an impact on her community, and will also speak about what she is doing to make her voice heard. Following her presentation, a documentary called "Sludge" will be shown, which delves into a West Virginia related topic: mountain top removal mining. Refreshments and learning, all for free! -Jonathan
