THURSDAY OCT 4TH 7:00 PM
THE CUBE at MCA, STAPLETON
8371 Northfield Blvd, Denver, CO 80238
Clean Energy Action will welcome acclaimed ecologist and author Dr. Sandra Steingraber to speak on the detrimental health effects of fracking and natural gas production.
Join Dr. Steingraber, CEA and our allies as Steingraber dives into the hard science and overwhelming evidence regarding the serious health effects associated with fracking, followed by a Q&A.
In speaking about a recent study released by the Physicians for Social Responsibility about the adverse health effects associated with fracking, Dr. Steingraber stated:
“What impressed us, as we reviewed and compiled the data, is just how extensive the impacts from drilling and fracking processes are. Spikes in toxic air pollution accompany fracking wherever it goes. Drinking water is destroyed. Earthquakes are triggered. Abandoned wells leak. Pipelines explode. Climate-killing methane escapes from every component part. And nearby residents are suffering health problems consistent with their exposures — including newborn infants.”
Steingraber was named Woman of the Year by Ms. Magazine, a Person of the Year by Treehugger, and one of 25 “Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World” by the Utne Reader.
There will be a gathering near fracking sites in Commerce City at 3:30 p.m. with Dr. Steingraber before the speech (press invited), as well as a reception with key energy leader at 5:30 at The Cube, MCA.
Reception and Talk–Suggested donation $30
Public Talk Only –Suggested donation $20
Larger donations from those that can afford it are much appreciated.
No one will be kept away from the public talk for lack of funds.
We highly encourage your participation in this educational evening if you are interested in learning about the hard facts and research-based science that uncovers the adverse health effects of fracking. In the current political climate, thoroughly investigated facts and information are imperative now more than ever.
