A busy week for Heart of America Northwest

Another busy week at the Heart of America Northwest offices comes to a close.  Here's what we've been up to:

• Gerry spent a few days in Richland at committee meetings for the Hanford Advisory Board, where they started the process to develop advice on the proposed changes and delays to the Hanford Cleanup Agreement and Transuranic waste milestones;

• We're planning our webinar on these issues for May 25th at 7pm - shoot our field organizer an email if you're interested in joining us!

• We put the final touches on our comments to the Tank Closure and Waste Management Environmental Impact Statement - check it out!  They cover everything from climate change to transportation risks;

• We're planning a fun benefit concert in Portland on May 28th with internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Dana Lyons!  The show starts at 7pm at the First Unitarian Church, and we'd love to see you there;

• We hung out with Bob Alvarez last night, heard some of his interesting stories and talked about Transuranic Waste - what a good time!

• Finally, we stayed on top the Hanford news this week - follow us on twitter so you can always know what's going on!  One interesting tidbit is that trucks hauling waste from the Columbia River to the central Hanford landfill logged 15 Million Miles this week.  That's a lot of hauling...with more to come as cleanup activities continue.
