We'll gather on the Port Angeles waterfront with Shell's "Polar Pioneer" drilling rig in the background, to send a message to world leaders in Paris that it's time to "turn the ship around and leave the fuel in the ground." This rig recently returned to our harbor after a failed attempt to start a big drilling operation in the Arctic, in a place that wasn't accessible until climate change melted the sea ice! Now that's chutzpah! We'll hear about what's at stake in Paris, talk about why we care, sing a few songs, and then take a group photograph holding a big cardboard cork positioned to look as if it's capping the oil rig, with our message to "Put a Cork in It." The event will be kid-friendly, handicapped-accessible, on Bus Route 26 and the Waterfront Trail, and it should only last about a half hour, so you'll still be able to make it to the Farmer's Market!
