SUMMARY:Labor Day Holiday
DESCRIPTION:We will NOT be meeting due to the Labor Day Weekend.  And don’t forget\, labor unions had to fight for this holiday.  It was not “given” to us by the kindness of corporations.  Read about the history of Labor Day at Wikipedia:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

SUMMARY:Microplastics and PFAs
DESCRIPTION:Atish Sen\, EHST member and professional chemist\, will share his analysis of the controversy over microplastics and PFAs.  Separating fact from fiction is requires careful reading\, and some skepticism.  Have you ever wondered why microplastic photos show them on a person’s finger?  Those are the large pieces\, but some are microscopic and those are much more dangerous!  Mr. Sen will enlighten us on both microplastics and PFAs. \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.

SUMMARY:How Citizens in Johnston County Stopped a Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Francine Stephenson will speak to us and show us a documentary about how Johnston County stopped the Atlantic Coast Pipeline from coming through their community.  The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League\, which Lois Gibbs created\, provided a grant to these citizens to help with the fight\, and that was crucial to their success. \n  \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at a different venue than our normal one.  We will meet the Carrboro Civic Center where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.

SUMMARY:The Ethics of Listening to Others
DESCRIPTION:One of the problems our country is facing is the increasing polarization of society.  The Balkanization of our country pits opposing forces as sinister\, and evil.  The enemy is evil\, and intent on destroying our country.  Alarm bells are going off among liberals and conservatives\, Democrats and Republicans\,  the religious and the nonreligious.  Todd Bishop and Chris Kaman will explore the ethics and benefits of  listening to others\, of making it a greater priority than judgement and condemnation.  We will also have practice listening sessions as a part of the program. \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.
