Last Thursday students at Middlesex Community College ran an educational event called “I am Clean Coal,” where they collected 91 signatures to Rep. Niki Tsongas, thanking her for her strong action on clean energy and climate issues, and handed out 50 Clean Coal fact sheets. At the event, volunteers wore signs that said “I am Clean Coal” on the front, and had scary facts about clean coal on the back such as “I am responsible for over 1 million acres of destroyed forest in Appalachia.” Five volunteers stood in a row and when students walked by the volunteers turned around to show them the scary facts.
