Details

Back in court, this time with Superior Judge Carl Fox . CCACAD/ELEE appeals of Duke Energy mining and solid waste permits for the Brickhaven #coalash dump.
This is the appeal of the case heard in January & will be heard November 14th in Pittsboro at the Justice Center.10:00 am.
It REALLY helps our cause to have lots of people there to let the judge know we are serious !

Folks we can't stress enough how IMPORTANT it is for
"O_R being there to Represent the People" !
we need U to make us work!
Our wonderful lawyer John Runkle is amazing standing up there like David against Goliath with Therese Landrum Vick by his side...
while the others have 4 or 5 lawyers...
But when the judge sees US there with our heads shaking NO when the DukeE team tells tales "IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE"
Please put this on YOUR calendar
We need you there!
https://www.facebook.com/events/606576612800641/
So come to the Justice Center in Pittsboro , you don't have to stay full time... Just come if you can and bring a friend !

BREAKING: MAY 9th: John Runkle, our attorney, has notified us that we’ll join Charah on Monday, May 15th, 2 p.m., in the Chatham County Justice Center, Courtroom 3B, in Pittsboro to hear Charah’s request to continue work until the appeal. Please attend if you can!

Ways ELEE has been busy bees working with our children in Lee county.

One class of Broadway Elementary Art teacher Wendy Bryant got a sweet surprise one Monday from EnvironmentaLee member Terica Luxton.

Ms Luxton, an avid flower enthusiast, demonstrated flower pressing and instructed the students on a variety of processes to create art from nature. Each student used a discarded phone book to set up a flower press and produced a card using pressed daffodils, hydrangeas, onion skin, and banana peel.

Ms. Luxton wants to Thank Arlene Jackson for arranging this class. Also thank her and Marsha Ligon for helping with the class too! It was so much fun!

to see more pictures from this class go to Lee Co School Facebook page here.

Also a special Thanks to Floral Designs By Eddie of Sanford for donating flowers to press in our Upcycled telephone books!

Jan 19th 2016

Hi all , We wrote Deep River School and asked if we could donate "Nature Air Filters" to the classrooms.

They said "Yes" !

BradLee helped his Nana make nice information cards for the classes too. We delivered them on a teacher's work day.

We brought 30 airplane plants and snake plants for every class in the school !

We hope kids will learn to appreciate how Nature takes care of Us if we take care of it !
