ITHACA EVENT – Beyond the Ban: Fracking, Health & Infrastructure in New York State from Port Ambrose to Seneca Lake

with Sandra Steingraber, Michelle Bamberger and Robert Oswald.

Time and Place: Thursday, February 26, 2015, from 7 – 9 pm, First Baptist Church, 309 North Cayuga Street, Ithaca, NY. This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

New York state has newly banned fracking due to its known hazards and risks. But New Yorkers are still at risk from hazardous gas facilities and pipelines, pollution, food chain contamination and other problems of the fracking boom.

Ithaca-based non-profit, The Bioscience Resource Project, is hosting Beyond the Ban: Fracking, Health & Infrastructure in New York State from Port Ambrose to Seneca Lake. Sandra Steingraber, Michelle Bamberger and Robert Oswald will provide an overview of post-ban fracking threats to New York state.

More about this Event: 

The DEC promises to prohibit high volume hydraulic fracturing—a courageous act by Governor Cuomo—but what of the risks faced by many New Yorkers from pipelines, compressor stations, gas storage caverns and export terminals? If this infrastructure rapidly expands across our state, what are the potential impacts to people, animals and the food shed, and what is the current status of each project? 

Hosted by the Bioscience Resource Project– Sandra Steingraber (author of “Raising Elijah” and “Living Downstream”, and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Ithaca College) will join veterinarian Michelle Bamberger and Cornell professor of molecular medicine Robert Oswald, authors of “The Real Cost of Fracking”, for a public discussion of the crucial issues. Thursday, Feb. 26, 7 – 9  pm, First Baptist Church, 309 North Cayuga Street, Ithaca, NY. Buffalo Street Books will have books for sale at this event.

Please send this email on to others who may be interested.

Thank you,
