You Are Invited to a Film Screening and Talk in Spokane

Join Dan Serres, Conservation Director of the Columbia Riverkeeper to screen the film, Crossroads on the Columbia, and discuss the details of proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals in the Pacific Northwest. LNG terminals would import millions of tons of new fossil fuels to our region, and come with hundreds of miles of new pipelines. These projects threaten to drastically increase our regional greenhouse gas emissions, clearcut our forests, and threaten endangered species. For the past few years a movement has been growing in California and Oregon to halt the proliferation of these huge new LNG terminals in favor of a more sustainable energy strategy. This movement is now coming to Washington. You can take action and work to keep these new foreign fossil fuels out of the Pacific Northwest while moving towards a homegrown, green energy future.

• LNG projects would drastically increase Washington’s greenhouse gas emissions
• LNG competes with a clean, renewable energy future
• Cowlitz Co. WA is threatened with pipeline development that could use eminent domain
• The NO LNG movement is a broad, diverse coalition that has successfully pushed community rights and the climate and energy agenda in the northwest for years

  About the film: Crossroads on the Columbia chronicles a community’s response to private energy investment companies’ proposals to build controversial Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) receiving terminals on the lower Columbia River near the historic town of Astoria, Oregon. The passion and power of grass roots activism set against the backdrop of the beauty, heritage and history of the Columbia Pacific Region make this a compelling story of America at the crossroads of fossil fuel dependence, renewable energy and decisions over who controls our air, water and economy.
