As the United States and countries around the world work to address global climate change, it is essential to understand the role of coal.  Join us for a viewing of The Appalachians, an informative documentary highlighting the detrimental impact of coal mining and coal fired power plants.  The film will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session by Carol Oldham, Regional Director of the Sierra Club, and Chad Laurent, Suffolk University Law School Student.  Learn how you can make a difference in this important shift toward a sustainable energy economy!
