The Sitka Conservation Society, the local environmental non-profit in Sitka, hosted a showing of 350.org\u2019s \u201cDo the Math.\u201d Showing this national film got 22 community members together to relate the impacts of local level issues like Senate Bill 21 to climate change and discuss how the community could contribute solutions to the world\u2019s most urgent challenge rather than continue to look past it.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The showing of \u201cDo the Math\u201d came right after a statewide protest against Senate Bill 21. About 75 people, including the mayor of the City and Borough of Sitka, demonstrated that there are other ways to approach the state\u2019s energy needs that wouldn\u2019t require subsidizing the most profitable corporations in the world at the expense of public infrastructure and the climate.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe Senators that voted for passage of SB21 are gambling with our future. They are willing to forever adversely impact our children, citizens that are in need of health care, crimes that need to be solved, and so many other facets of daily lives in every community around the state. And this is coming at a time when our community is staggering from the blows of the federal sequestration. We need help now, not tomorrow,\u201d said Mayor<\/div>\n<div>McConnell at the rally.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>That \u201chelp now\u201d can start from your very community. Sitka is not waiting for the larger federal government or corporations to catch up to sustainable energy practices\u2014we are making case studies for climate change activism and low cost renewable energy. We are rallying 75 strong to protest bills like the Oil Tax Giveaway. We are hosting films like \u201cDo the Math\u201d to generate conversational energy about what our town can do in the climate change movement&#8211;all of this from a rural town of 8 to 9,000 people. When applied to energy needs, resiliency reminds us not to just focus on unearthing fossil fuel energy but see it as one of many options needed to live responsibly. Sitka is working towards an identity independent of oil, an identity of resiliency that rises from the ashes of fossil fuel dependency rather than continue to use those very ashes as our only power source.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em style=\"font-size: 1em;line-height: 1em\">This guest post was written by Ray Friedlander at the <a href=\"http:\/\/sitkawild.org\/\">Sitka Conservation Society<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>Alaska\u2019s identity has been drilled into oil, and with the recent passage of Senate Bill 21 or the \u201cOil Wealth Giveaway Bill,\u201d the state plans to subsidize this identity through billion dollar tax breaks to the world\u2019s most profitable corporations at a huge financial loss to the climate, the state, and its citizens over the next several years.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Despite this statewide decision, the costal Alaskan town of Sitka has been approaching its energy needs differently.
