In San Diego, environmental groups including the Sierra Club and 350.org will gather at Mission Bay Park Vistiors Center (Mission Bay Drive and Clairemont Drive) from 1-3 p.m.</p> <p><!--break--></p> <p>Speakers will include Mayor <a href="http://www.sandiego.gov/mayor/index.shtml">Bob Filner</a> (City of San Diego), <a href="http://sio.ucsd.edu/Profile/jseveringhaus">Dr. Jeffrey Severinghaus</a> (ScrippsInstitution of Oceanography), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lori_Salda%C3%B1a">Lori Saldaña</a> (former Assemblywoman and Chair of Sierra Club San Diego), <a href="http://www.vistauu.org/index.php/ministries/about-our-minister">Rev. Dr. Beth Johnson</a> (Palomar Unitarian Universalist Fellowship), and <a href="http://www.10news.com/news/u-t-former-sailor-develops-green-jobs-program">Elizabeth Perez-Halperin</a> (green business owner and veteran).</p> <p>The Keystone Pipeline would transmit crude oil and bitumen from the oil sands region in Athabasca, Canada to the U.S., ending at the Gulf Coast. Extraction of oil from tar sands produces more greenhouse gases than other means of oil extraction. There are also concerns that leaks could polllute water supplies and wildlife habitat.</p> <p>Native Americans and indigenous First Nations people in Canada have joined with environmentalists in opposing the project due to potential negative impacts on native fishing, waterways, and reservation lands.</p> <p>“We want the world to know that San Diegans agree: we’ve got to stop using fossil fuels if we want to beat climate change,” an e-mail from local event organizers states. “We only have one planet. The time is now.”</p> <p>Music at the event will be provided by Charlie Imes as well as a special singing telegram for President Obama will be performed by the Occupella Chorus.</p> <p><a href="http://sandiego350.org/rsvp-for-feb-17-protest-stop-the-keystone-xl-pipeline-and-demand-climate-change-action-now/">RSVP at this link</a>. <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=210429057674153126440.0004d4ae787dfe48de279&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=32.790442,-117.207763&amp;spn=0.02143,0.043323">MAP</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/326702880763446/">Facebook event</a>.<br /><br />  </p> </div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="addtoany first last"><span><span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_target addtoany_list" id="da2a_7"> <a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eastcountymagazine.org%2Fprotest-stop-keystone-xl-pineline-today-san-diego&amp;title=PROTEST%20TO%20STOP%20KEYSTONE%20XL%20PINELINE%20TODAY%20IN%20SAN%20DIEGO"><img src="/sites/all/modules/addtoany/images/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share this"/></a> </span> </span></li></ul> Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:15:56 +0000 Brian 12490 at https://www.eastcountymagazine.org https://www.eastcountymagazine.org/protest-stop-keystone-xl-pineline-today-san-diego#comments
READER’S EDITORIAL: IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO STOP THE 7-ELEVEN LIQUOR LICENSE
https://www.eastcountymagazine.org/reader%E2%80%99s-editorial-it%E2%80%99s-not-too-late-stop-7-eleven-liquor-license              December 2012 Articles        Liquor stores    ABC    protest         By Tom Myers   December 17, 2012 (Alpine)--Are you opposed to 7-Eleven selling beer, wine and spirits in the heart of Alpine? Do you think three liquor stores within walking distance of each other are too many? You can do something about it!   On December 3 the applicant, 7-Eleven, Inc., posted the required ABC notice on the fence at the corner of West Victoria and Alpine Blvd. This started the 30-day public comment period for transferring the liquor license from the Ranch Market to the proposed 7-Eleven at this new location. We believe moving this license will cause an undue concentration of licenses in the center of Alpine by clustering three off-sale license establishments within 600 feet of each other.       Studies show that an increase in density of alcohol outlets will increase crime and vandalism in the neighborhood. The site is adjacent to many church and youth activities as well as the historic Town Hall and several downtown businesses. Any or all of these community activities can be negatively impacted by drunk and disorderly people. Business owners in the area often report littering, loitering, vagrancy, vomiting and defecation on their premises from customers of the two existing liquor stores. This public nuisance is in opposition to the morals and public welfare of our community.   We believe the citizens and youth of Alpine should not be subjected to the inappropriate behavior or potential physical or verbal abuse that often results from public consumption of alcohol. You know that this does happen now and will get worse with the increased availability of alcohol.   Anyone can file a protest, but it needs to be in the ABC office by January 2, 2013.   To file a protest, complete the protest form on line or download it from this website:  http://www.abc.ca.gov/FORMS/ABC510A.pdf    For information regarding ABC license applications and protests, go to this website:    http://www.abc.ca.gov/forms/abc510.pdf    You can also pick up these documents at:   Alpine Community Church Office, 2225 W. Victoria Drive   Chic Boutique, 2175 Arnold Way                    Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:01:12 +0000 miriamg 11954 at https://www.eastcountymagazine.org https://www.eastcountymagazine.org/reader%E2%80%99s-editorial-it%E2%80%99s-not-too-late-stop-7-eleven-liquor-license#comments
