Many in OccupyCU have indicated an interest in the environment,
especially if it is a local issue. You might want to sign the petition
and attend an informational meeting.

Illinois Coal as an energy resource? Sunrise Coal, a Limited Liability
Company (LLC), has submitted a permit application for an underground
coal mine east of Homer, Illinois (in Vermillion County).

Join 5 groups for an informational presentation and discussion about
the proposed coal mine, how it threatens local drinking water

local resources [near the coal] for future generations.
