Support Shaleshock and the fight against unsafe natural gas drilling with a lawn sign!

By arimoore, on October 30th, 2009%


A limited number of Shaleshock lawn signs available. Due to production costs, please only ask for one if you live in a highly trafficked area where the sign will do the most good!

The signs are distributed free but if you want to help defray the costs, please send a tax deductible contribution to Social Ventures, 124 Westfield Drive, Ithaca, NY 14850. Please specify “lawn signs” in the memo line of your check.

Contact Ken Zeserson at 256 7139 or kenz@zeserson.com if you want a sign.

For more posters, pamphlets, and other resources you can use to get the word out about natural gas drilling, visit our Resources page.

Help Shaleshock reach your neighbors!

By arimoore, on October 21st, 2009%

A 10-day radio ad blitz has been initiated on three Cayuga Radio stations directing listeners to learn more about gas drilling by going to the Shaleshock website. Lawn signs with the same directive will be available to people who live in highly trafficked areas. Similar publicity for our cause is being planned but these efforts require money. Please send donations to Social Ventures, 124 Westfield Drive, Ithaca, NY 14850. Please list “Shaleshock radio ads/lawn signs” in the memo line on your check. More ways to support Shaleshock »
