NOTICES:

"The True Cost of Coal" is a new mega-graphic by the Beehive Design  
Collective of Machias. Released in late July, it is available in  
poster form from Beehive, 255-6737 or  
pollinators at beehivecollective.org or www.beehivecollective.org. The  
poster is multi-colored and an excellent tool for learning about all  
the costs of coal mining, including mountain top removal. The Bees  
are also available to bring their posters and discuss coal issues in  
detail at your group meeting, grange hall or town library, or  
wherever you can set up a showing.
