Labadie Environmental Organization (LEO) 6-9-15

from Earthworms

For 6 years (this month) an (amazing!) group of ordinary people have worked to keep a coal ash landfill out of the floodway of the Missouri River. Not saying "no landfill" or "close the coal plant." The Labadie Environmental Organization, LEO, marshals the resources of scientific, medical, legal and engineering experts who pitch in alongside farmers, parents, business owners - hundreds of engaged FOLKS - in efforts to get coal ash disposal sensibly and safely sited. Struggle? Yes. Crucial? LEO members and supporters believe so, and they are WORKING on this issue.  Guests: Petra Haynes and Patricia Schuba - LEO core organizers Music: R. Roger Pryor - traditional instrumental performed 1997 at The Focal Point Connect with LEO on Facebook and Twitter and through www.leoenvironmental.org Your engagement is welcome, needed and will be rewarding. Time-sensitive responses include June 11, 2015 Franklin County (MO) Commission testimony date and submission of email testimony. See LEO on Facebook for details.
