OH IT'S ON, ALRIGHT. Maybe there were one or two people who thought the Climate March wasn't really going to lead to anything. Maybe there were a few people who opted to sit things out a bit longer. Let's put it this way: Those who missed the march, those who are still just watching, those who aren't out there making it happen? They are simply missing ALL the fun! Here's what's been happening and what IS happening; JUMP IN: |

What with activists descending on DC to blockade their building for a week straight, FERC Commissioners must have wanted to get outta town so bad they scheduled a meeting in New York––with the PSC (Public Service Commission)––to discuss the future of energy in our state. Since it's obvious what FERC thinks the future of energy ought to be (a pipeline and compressor station in every backyard!) we'll greet conference goers as they arrive and exit to explain what WE think the future of energy ought to be (offshore wind and solar panels). Please join the action for the morning rally (7:30-9:30am) and/or the afternoon rally (2:30-4:30pm). All the details here and SPREAD THE WORD! New York Institute of Technology Auditorium, 1871 Broadway, between 61st and 62nd Streets. |
Tell WNYC: Fracking? Don't Even "Think About It"!
Do you listen to NPR shows on WNYC–– Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, All Things Considered, Weekend Edition? Then you've probably heard the "Think About It" ads from the American Natural Gas Association (ANGA). Here's an example. Environmental Action is staging an action at NPR national headquarters in DC as part of Beyond Extreme Energy week, and we're going to stage a solidarity action at WNYC. Wear WNYC gear, if you have any; meet at 160 Varick Street at Charlton Street (just north of Spring Street). #1 subway to Houston Street or C,E trains to Spring Street. |
Veterinarian, Michelle Bamberger and Cornell professor of molecular medicine, Robert Oswald's groundbreaking 2013 report on the effects of fracking on humans and animals set the stage for the work they are doing now.
Join them for a reading and discussion of their new book, The Real Cost of Fracking pulls back the curtain on how this toxic process endangers the environment and harms people, pets, and livestock. Bamberger and Oswald combine their expertise to show how contamination at drilling sites translates into ill health and heartbreak for families and their animals.
Bamberger and Oswald live in Ithaca and serve on the advisory board of Physicians, Scientists, and Engineers for Healthy Energy.
