This is an unexpected, but BIG win against AI! While advocating against wood pellets in London in May of this year, Dr. Martin of Greater Greener Gloster, MS, Michèl Legendre of Dogwood Alliance, and I traveled 2 hours by train from London to North York, UK to speak to with the North Yorkshire Combined Authority and students at the University of York about a pending partnership with Drax to build an AI Data Center. Drax is the UK based wood pellets manufacturer that we have been opposing for polluting Gloster, Mississippi residents.

After arriving at the University of York College campus, we learned the police had been called earlier that day to talk with the students hosting the event. The police weren't even sure why they had been sent or by whom. So they didn't even know what questions to ask the students. We were there to expose Drax’s wood pellets manufacturing injustices in the U.S. and discourage the university and the Authority from partnering with Drax on the AI project. One could assume that Drax would be the only entity that would benefit from an attempt to discourage and intimidate students.

It didn't work. We talked- they listened! The UK event organizers sent us a thank you message partially crediting our impactful presence in York for contributing to scrapping Drax’s AI Growth Zone project bid.

If one male from NYC and two women from Mississippi can help stop an AI Data Center in the UK, we call all join forces to stop the AI madness in the U.S. Please click on the below links for the announcement!

Plans involving Drax Group, local authorities and a university in North Yorkshire are no longer progressing, Land and Climate Review can reveal.

EEECHO will provide transportation for women in Gulfport who need breast and cervical cancer screening exams. We will have a nice spa type environment. EEECHO will also be giving pink gift bags with hand cream, lip gloss, tissue, lapel pins, writing pens, and mini notepads. For women who cannot afford to pay the $25, we will cover it! We want to eliminate all obstacles that will prevent the opportunity of getting these life saving exams.

EEECHO’s peer-to-peer outdoor environmental education tour of New Orleans Tremé Community today was phenomenal! We wanted to learn lessons about how environmental injustices of the Claiborne Expressway almost destroyed this historic neighborhood. After getting a close look at the levee in the Lower Ninth Ward, we had lunch at the iconic Lil’ Dizzy’s Creole Soul Cafe. We were all in a food coma, then had the opportunity to attend the lively Second Line Jazz Funeral Procession honoring New Orleans civil rights legend, Jerome “Big Duck” Smith. It passed right by Lil Dizzy’s. After leaving the Second Line jazz funeral procession, we headed to Mr. Al Jackson’s Jazz Petit Museum. We are still in awe of Mr. Al’s kindness, hospitality, and extensive knowledge.

We left Mr. Al’s museum to meet with Ms. Amy Stelly in her 115 year old home. Ms. Amy has been leading environmental justice efforts to remove the I-10 Claiborne Expressway known in Tremé as ‘The Monster’. Ms. Amy wants to tear down an Interstate Hiway! Need I say more about this phenomenal woman?

Our community made new “family” connections today facing similar environmental issues.
