DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/put-peakers-past-st
 and-out-protest/\n\nSpeak out for Clean Air! Come join our Put Peakers in 
 the Past Coalition for this stand-out protest to let folks know about Pitt
 sfield Generating’s peaker power plant\, now filing for renewal of its A
 ir Quality Permit.\nThis peaker plant:\n- Over 30 years old\n- Runs on fra
 cked gas or oil\n- Only runs when demand on the grid hits peak\, yet is th
 e 2nd largest polluter in Berkshire Co.\n- Emits super-fine PM2.5 particul
 ate matter\, nitrous oxides and sulfur oxides\n- Contributes to respirator
 y and cardiovascular health complications\n- Is directly across from Allen
 dale Elementary\, about a mile and a half from from Morningside and Willia
 ms and John Reid Middle School\, and less than two miles from PHS and Herb
 erg Middle School\n- Located in the heart of Pittsfield\, right near Envir
 onmental Justice neighborhoods\n- Could be replaced by zero-emissions grid
 -scale battery storage\, charged by zero-emissions renewable energy.\nWe
 ’re standing out in the streets of Pittsfield to let everyone know that 
 this aging fossil fuel plant is polluting our air and needs to convert to 
 zero emissions. The Mass Department of Environmental Protection needs to d
 eny the Air Quality Permit\, and we need folks in our community to demand 
 this when the time for the permit hearing comes.\n\n**NOTICE: Poles and st
 icks for signs\, flags and banners are NOT allowed in Pittsfield. Please d
 on't bring anything attached to a pole or stick. 🙂\n\nDo you plan to co
 me to the stand out? Let us know by RSVP.\nRSVP here:\nhttps://tinyurl.com
