| Fifty people worked together
making quilts to protest a gas-burning power plant planned in 2002 for Duke Point, near Nanaimo,
in British Columbia, Canada. The quilters played a small part in a strong
community-based campaign opposing the power plant.
In
June 2005, BC Hydro scrapped its plans for this controversial
project.
But
there are still many concerns about energy issues and the need to support
green energy alternatives instead of fossil fuels.
