Another session of our curriculum/study group on natural gas drilling in the Marcellus begins on April 2nd, 2009. We will talk about the drilling process, leasing, regulation, health and environmental risks, climate change, corporations, related struggles, and action. The first two study groups were great successes and we’re looking forward to further solidifying our knowledge and skills in this area. If you are interested in attending one or all of these sessions please email Meghan at memoir99@hotmail.com or show up this Thursday.
Session 1: Thursday, April 2nd, 6:30-9pm
This is the basic overview class. Meet us at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca. Future session locations TBA.
Session 2: Tuesday, April 7th
In this class we get more into detail about leasing and drilling techniques. Location TBA.
Session 3: Thursday, April 9th
In this class we look at the big picture, social contexts, and how this issue connects with other issues and struggles. This is the fun class where we play around and practice role-plays and talking about these issues in different scenarios.
This class is open to anyone and everyone who is interested in learning about this issue, but the class will be closed after the first session since the material we cover does grow on itself – in other words, we can’t have folks coming in halfway through not having the basic information that we start with in Session 1. If you want to come to the class but know that you will miss ONE of the sessions, contact us anyway and we can give you homework to keep you up-to-speed.
