An education and advocacy session for the greater Scituate, Mass., community, was held on Saturday, March 23, 2013, hosted by the neighbors affected by the Scituate Industrial Wind Turbine. Topics included:
- The South Shore/Scituate Experience
- Acoustics 101: (Rick James, Principal Consultant at E-Coustic Solutions) (13:11)
- Light Strobe: A Real-Life Experience (Mark McKeever) (48:42)
- Health and safety: (Jeffry Silver, MD, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Certified by American Board of Internal Medicine, subspecialty Sleep Medicine)(1:07:29)
- Green Community Legislation: Leaving Communities Black and Blue
- Reasons for and request for support of Town Meeting Warrant #28 to rescind special permit granted to Scituate Wind (1:42:20)
Background: Organizers hoped to draw residents from other areas of the Town who are not directly impacted by the noise and strobing light emanating from the industrial wind turbine. The event's goal was to shed light on the real health and safety impacts being experienced by people living too close to this inappropriately sited industrial wind turbine, and with accurate information in hand, to encourage our friends and neighbors to understand, support, and advocate on behalf of the negatively affected residents.
