Public Hearing to Decide Coal’s Fate in Oregon Wednesday June 23rd 6:30—8:30 pm The Portland Building, 1120 SW 5th Ave

Portland General Electric (PGE) operates Oregon’s only coal plant located in Boardman, Oregon. The Boardman Coal Plant emits 5 million tons of carbon dioxide (that’s equivalent to almost 1 million cars), over 15,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide and over 200 pounds of mercury every single year making it Oregon’s largest stationary source of global warming pollution.

“Party Like it’s 1979” Saturday, June 12th 7 pm—9 pm Hipbone Studios, 1847 E Burnside, Portland

Join the Sierra Club for a 70’s/80’s costume party in the spirit of having a little fun leading up to the most important hearing regarding the fate of the Boardman Coal Plant at the Public Utility Commission on June 23rd.

1979 was last year that Oregon did not have a coal plant. The Oregon Beyond Coal Campaign, seeks to make 2014 a year where, yet again, Oregon will be without a coal plant, but this time it will be for good.

So break out your best disco or 80’s wear and join us for rocking good time!

Winner of the best costume contest will get a prize.

Free drinks and snacks (and beer for those 21 and over).
