Tuesday Video: Faith and Environment Network to screen “The Last Mountain” on Thursday

Take note, all you coal fighters: Over the past year, the coal debate in Spokane has heated to a boil. The discussion of more than 80 miles of coal trains zig-zagging through our city everyday has led to forums, strong grassroots organization and engagement.

It's good timing for The Faith and Environment Network to screen The Last Mountain on August 9th at 7:00 p.m. at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church,1832 West Dean Avenue in West Central. The film is about the coal industry in America and one man's David and Goliath approach to defeating a monster that has been killing people and the environment for hundreds of years.

Crystal Gartner, organizer for the Sierra Club, will introduce the film and explain the coal issue in our local context. Trailer after the jump.
