Dear readers, Thank you for reading this blog this year. You may have noticed we have a new look here at Shaleshock.org – we’ve changed the site to reflect the diversity of Working Groups that are all part of this movement. Please explore the new site, and consider reaching out to a working group to get involved. I want to share a beautiful letter and song written by my friend and colleague Travis Knapp (below). I hope will inspire you as much as it has inspired me. In solidarity,
Congressman Hinchey and Congressman Arcuri need to be STRONGLY URGED to take a leadership role in helping to protect the safety and welfare of their constituents. They should follow the lead of Congressman Eric Massa, New York City Council Member James Gennaro and State Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton and sign the letter to withdraw the dSGEIS. Our elected representatives need to speak for the people– the majority of us New York State voters have ABSOLUTELY NO VOICE as to the industrialization of NYS to unconventional gas drilling.  One comment  Uncategorized  action, activism, congress, drinking water, dSGEIS, help, public concerns, withdraw dSGEIS Protect New York State drinking water from unsafe gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale. The hydrofracking process endangers drinking water supplies, uses billions of gallons of drinking water in the process and creates contaminated water that cannot be properly treated. In New York State, Governor Paterson needs to ban unsafe gas drilling in order to protect our drinking water supply. Safer methods are being developed that are well worth waiting for.
