The Sierra Club presents Jim Burchell of PeaceWorks, who will show a short video about how a community in Nicaragua is resisting the plans for a port at the Atlantic terminus of a trans-isthmus railroad, the so-called "dry canal." This will be followed by a discussion about the environmental impact of development projects in emerging markets and what we in the U.S. can do to help fight damaging projects.

The meeting is free and the public is cordially invited.
