As a part of revamping their state network, Georgia Youth for Environmental Solutions (GaYES) is spearheading a training tour- and it started last weekend.
The program, the first of its kind, seeks to polish the teaching skills of environmental organizers across Georgia to travel to different environmental groups around the state and give trainings in different grassroots organizing principles and skill sets. Campuses like Valdosta, the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Pope High School, and Walton High School have already indicated interest in being trained.

Hello! My name is Niko Segal-Wright, and I am joining the Southern Energy Network's No Coal Campaign for the month of July. I got started after the 4th of July weekend. I've had two years of experience canvassing and field managing for MassPIRG in the past, and I hope to bring some of those skills to the table here.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently proposed a rule to set a national emissions standard for the mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants, the largest source of mercury pollution in the country.
