*** Sunset at Sunset - 2017 | bcbeat

Brunswick Environmental Action Team

BEAT is deeply disappointed that the U.S. Federal government has let the clear and present evidence of mis-direction and criminal negligence, by both DuPont and Chemours, go unaccounted for.

Private individuals in this country dare not expect to be treated with equally entitlement-granting kid gloves as these "Too Big Too Fail" corporate polluters and stockholders do.

Chemours, knowingly and forever, tainted the water supply of the southeastern portion of North Carolina. And generations to come will continue to suffer from their intentional negligence!

BEAT now also feels the federal government is complicit in these acts by allowing such criminally aggressive polluters off-the-hook despite a clear trail of malfeasance and deception.

North Carolina's citizens deserve better. We should be able to depend on our government for protection from corporations that harm the right of citizens to enjoy precious natural clean air, water and soil (our common heritage). Instead, they have set a dubious precedent for other like-minded profiteers to follow; make billions of dollars in profits over the years while poisoning our waters. "Why worry?" they may ask in their board meetings, "there will be no accountability for criminal corporate pollution of the water supply for millions of North Carolinians."

Warm Regards, Pete Key

Participation in Sunset at Sunset

in Sunset Beach on October 7, 2017

BEAT has a strong desire to meet with members of our communities and is enthusiastic about participating in annual local festivals. Our first venture of this type was participation in Sunset at Sunset, an annual end-of-the-season festival in Sunset Beach. Kristen Colleran did much of the advance work necessary to secure our spot, and Kristen and Neil organized the day.

Barbara Stanley and her granddaughter Livia provided special face painting and sea creature tattooing for our interested visitors. Kristen supervised our set-up crew/first shift, which consisted of herself, Marilyn Capretta, Denise Donnelly, Cheryl Goodwin, Cherie LoPresti, Rich LoPresti, and Linda Rudick. Anne Neely organized and participated in the middle shift that also included Teddy Altreuter, Nina Marable, and Alda Taveras. Neil Gilbert supervised and participated in our final shift/take-down crew along with Barbara Kucinski-Gilbert and Linda Eastman. Great volunteers all!

BEAT volunteers introduced lots of people to our organization, introduced our new banner (wonderful work by Barbara Stanley), gave away lots of our flyers, sold lots of t-shirts and decals, and added to our membership list. A great day!
