Hydro-fracking and becoming informed stewards of the environment:

How can we move forward as a community?

On December 3, 7-10 p.m., Area Congregations Together and Shared Journeys invite us to explore the complex issue of gas drilling in light of our sacred and moral obligation to be stewards of our environment and of our community.  Eric Clay, M.Div., Ph.D., will frame our conversation as a matter of practicing faith and science.  Two scientists will address what we know, don’t know, assume, and need to be concerned about:  Dr. A. R. (Tony)  Ingraffea, (CU Engineering, hydro-fracking); Dr. Linda P. Wagenet (CU Extension Associate, water resources).    Break out groups will assist local citizens with understanding, sharing concerns and insights, and living out a commitment to stewardship as our community addresses issues relating to hydro-fracking for natural gas extraction in our region.
