You're invited to a free screening of Pacific Rivers' new film, Behind the Emerald Curtain, exposing the harm occurring on Oregon's private timberlands.

When:    Thur Nov 19, 7:30 pm
Where:    7 Devils Brewery , 247 S 2nd St, Coos Bay, OR 97420

Despite its green reputation, Oregon still allows clearcutting close to streams, logging on steep slopes, logging through small streams, and aerial spraying of carcinogenic pesticides. These practices are polluting our air and water, and impacting fish and wildlife. If you've noticed the clearcuts above Cannon Beach, Rockaway Beach, and many other coastal towns, or on the way to the coast via almost any route, that's what this film is about.
