+ "Jesus said love your neighbor,” Dr. Barber told the crowd. “I don’t care how
  many times you tell me you love me, if you put coal ash in my water you don’t
  love me. Because if there was nothing wrong with the coal ash, then put it in
  the wealthy communities.”
+ I believe in the Rare Earth hypothesis, our planet appears really special from
  what we can see
+ How do our environmental concerns intersect with issues of poverty and racial justice?
+ Taking it further ...
+ Selectperson with a charge of governing responsibly
+ We can do some limited things to help us as a small community be more
  environmentally friendly
+ Solar installations, improved recyclying
+ There is a gradient of wealth and poverty that runs from the south west to the
  north east of our state
+ But we have a tax base that gives us room to make changes
+ What if we didn't have the tax base to make those changes?
+ Revenue sharing as environmental justice
+ Castine does not serve to benefit from this
+ Maine lead testing is lagging state and federal requirements
+ Many rural communities have wells exempt from arsenic testing, and local
  official advocate for this, because mandated testing  means more unfunded mandates
+ We have leadership in the governor's office and legislature to move these
  things forwards
+ Gov. Mills actually referenced the intersectionality of poverty and
  environmental justice in her swearing in speech

Woke up in Belfast, after a funky night's sleep. I had fallen asleep for a
decent chunk of time on the couch and so when I eventually made it to bed I
wasn't really tired. It took me a long time to fall asleep. I was also churning
over the reflection I was going to have to do in church today.

Ultimately, the reflection went fine. I ended up talking about the trick with
understanding how environmental justice affects us and can be affected by us.
Namely, the push for getting the state to make good on it's revnue sharing with
communities, even though it doesn't effect Castine, or may even have a slightly
negative effect.

When we got home Emma was in a low-energy mood and just sat around  for a bit. I
was taking care of Nabby and decided to take matters into my own hand and put
her in the exer-saucer while I thinned our books and cleaned up some things.
Emma felt better being outside and resolved to go sheer sheep and spent a few
good hours out there. Enough time passed that I was concerned we weren't going
to eat in decent time so started making tostadas.  I like being able to make
dinner sometimes.
