Forty years later\, Phoenix had blossomed into a metropolis of 1.5 million people and the territory of the Navajo Nation was home to two of the largest strip mines in the world. Five coal-burning power plants surrounded the reservation\, generating electricity for export to Phoenix\, Los Angeles\, and other cities. Navajo officials initially hoped energy development would improve their lands too\, but as ash piles marked their landscape\, air pollution filled the skies\, and almost half of Navajo households remained without electricity\, many Navajos came to view power lines as a sign of their subordination in the Southwest.  Exploring the postwar developments of these two very different landscapes\, Power Lines tells the story of the far-reaching environmental and social inequalities of metropolitan growth\, and the roots of the contemporary coal-fueled climate change crisis.\n\nAndrew Needham explains how inexpensive electricity became a requirement for modern life in Phoenix—driving assembly lines and cooling the oppressive heat. Navajo officials initially hoped energy development would improve their lands too\, but as ash piles marked their landscape\, air pollution filled the skies\, and almost half of Navajo households remained without electricity\, many Navajos came to view power lines as a sign of their subordination in the Southwest. Drawing together urban\, environmental\, and American Indian history\, Needham demonstrates how power lines created unequal connections between distant landscapes and how environmental changes associated with suburbanization reached far beyond the metropolitan frontier. Needham also offers a new account of postwar inequality\, arguing that residents of the metropolitan periphery suffered similar patterns of marginalization as those faced in America’s inner cities. \nTelling how coal from Indian lands became the fuel of modernity in the Southwest\, Power Lines explores the dramatic effects that this energy system has had on the people and environment of the region. \nEvent will be held in the Agave Hall Community Room \n(AGA 1240-1242) \n\n  \nFor questions or additional information contact donna.thompson@cgc.edu 480.857.5534 URL:https://www.azipl.org/event/power-lines-phoenix-and-the-making-of-the-modern-southwest/ LOCATION:Chandler-Gilbert Community College\, 2626 E Pecos Rd\, Chandler\, AZ\, 85225\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://www.azipl.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/power-lines.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20161106T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20161106T210000 DTSTAMP:20260501T075125 CREATED:20160909T045521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161028T022731Z UID:1715-1478458800-1478466000@www.azipl.org SUMMARY:Just Food Storytelling DESCRIPTION:In a mission to deepen the connection between ecology and faith\, the Arizona Interfaith Power and Light presents: Just Food Storytelling\, a co-sponsored event by the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability.  \nFood justice is communities exercising their right to grow\, sell\, and eat healthy food.

In a world with so many hungry people\, that’s a terrible shame. \nSadly\, it gets worse. Wasted food rots and creates greenhouse gas emissions. A lot of them. If you compare the emissions from food waste globally to the world’s nations\, it comes in third place – following China and the US. \nFortunately\, we can all make a difference. Take part in Food Waste Weekend. \nOn the weekend of September 23-25\, faith communities across the country will celebrate the first Food Waste Weekend\, or will commit to do so later this year. Food Waste Weekend is a partnership between GreenFaith and Ampleharvest.org\, a nonprofit that reduces food waste and hunger by empowering growers to donate excess produce to food pantries. \n70% of America’s food pantries are located in a house of worship. Faith communities are key partners in helping to ensure that excess food gets to hungry families. \nWe invite you to take part in Food Waste Weekend. Sign up now to take part on Sept. 23-25 or to schedule your Food Waste Weekend later this year. \nSample sermons and background information on food waste are available on the Food Waste Weekend website for Christian\, Jewish\, Muslim\, Buddhist\, Hindu\, Unitarian and Secular communities. You can also download the Food Waste Weekend Gameshow lesson plan for children in faith communities\, and other free resources. \nSpread the word by using #foodwasteweekend on social media. \nOur goal is to have 7\,500 congregations signed on to Food Waste Weekend and sharing this pressing message in their communities on September 23-25 or later this year. We look forward to congregations speaking out about this vital issue. \nIn faith\, \nRev.

We will line the sidewalks with our bodies\, signs & voices on the NE corner of Central Ave. & Indian School Rd. from 4 – 5 PM\, then will march up Central Avenue together and into the park to hear from Native speakers who will also address local issues surrounding water and desecration of sacred land\, followed by a drum circle. Those joining us with small children are welcome to gather in the park for the first hour for safety issues as there is a lot of traffic at this time. \nBy gathering at Steele Indian School Park\, we hope to call attention to the brave water and land protectors at Standing Rock and encourage the Army Corps of Engineers\, City\, County & State elected leaders in Arizona and the President of the United States to take a stand against greed and dirty energy which puts our greatest natural resource- WATER – at risk for generations to come. \nLet us know you’re coming — sign up on this page to receive action updates. \nPlease bring art and banners — and be sure to share on social media with #NoDAPL.
