Kassandra’s Story and Ours…..

Welcome to the web pages of Yough Communities C.A.R.E. In 2021 a small group got together to fight against having the Invenergy Power Plant built in Elizabeth Township PA. It took several years of struggle – but with the help of many community members and area Environmental Organizations – WE WON! Seeing that there were MANY other environmental concerns both locally and world wide, we stayed together. YCC tries to keep educated through a bi weekly environmental book club, attending other organizational meetings, and holding periodic opportunities to “get the word out” about environmental issues.

But we have found it’s not that easy. Sometimes it feels like no one is listening. We feel like Kassandra. Kassandra, Trojan princess and sister of Hector, served Apollo as a priestess.  She had the gift of prophecy but was cursed by Apollo for rejecting his advances.  After he cursed her, even though she spoke the truth, no one believed her – much to their detriment and her personal anger and anguish!  We understand the plight of Kassandra as modern science screams the perils of climate disaster and the destruction of Planet Earth while most turn a blind eye and deaf ear in favor of profit and ease of living.

This web site is a conversation about local and global environmental issues.  You are invited to join Yough Communities C.A.R.E. in our conversation thru networking, calendar, blog, and media. 

Come join the effort and let everyone know what you are doing!
