Introductions

February 22, 2018

Today marks the first official meeting of the Environmental Justice Club, on a drizzly Thursday afternoon. We have a full attendance of our six capped members, Aaron, Ksenia, Anmei, Connor, Tabby and myself, Braeden. The day's activities included an inventory of the greenhouse and the formulation of our plans for it. Two members cleaned up trash around the MMS campus while the rest set up the social media responsibilities of the club, including this blog. The hope we have for the club is for it to be a vessel for our voices to be broadcast to the world. Our mission, you could say, is to be a positive influence on our community and vocal members of society. This is a fairly brief post as we have much to do today, so keep well until next week.

Support Docket BOEM-2017-0074

This Docket is in support of allowing offshore drilling on both the East and West seaboards by 2024. It is coming from the Trump administration. As the Environmental Justice Club, we feel it is our responsibility to respond to the appearance of this Docket. It has been shown that oil drilling in the ocean causes oil spills, which decimate the wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem(s). To allow oil companies to drill off of all of the coasts will drastically increase chances of oil spills. Also, the bill will kill local tourism revenue, by turning coastal towns into a dead zone. As a club, we are strongly against the approval of this docket. Also being residents in a coastal town makes us feel even more against this Docket because we swim in the ocean frequently and therefore refuse to allow our beautiful ocean to be polluted and destroyed.
