Calgary activists met in Olympic Plaza tonight to show solidarity for New Brunswick Mi'kmaq demonstrators forced by police to end their protest against shale drilling in their area.
Regardless of their stance on fracking, residents of the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and southern New York all agreed that the fracking should be monitored. An interstate agency, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, manages water resources within the watershed with an expansive monitoring network. Their 58 stations continuously monitor temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen and turbidity.

Fracking is actually a pretty nasty (environmentally speaking) way of extracting natural gas from the ground. Still a funny word.
From the J Henry Fair photo exhibit at the 2011 Earth Day Fair at Grand Central. A lot of frack sites cannot be seen from regular roads because the drilling usually takes place in private lands where the owners are offered huge sums of money to allow the drilling to take place. What they usually don't realize is that the environmental after effects are not as safe as they were told. Most of the drilling also takes place in areas where there is very little economic opportunity so people jump at the chance to make money and not think of the consequences. Educate yourself and write your local congressman or senator because new laws are being re-visited everyday and in New York, it is being reviewed whether to allow it to be introduced into the state. Only someone in local government can stop this but the information on it was and is scarce. Also check out the brief videos on the documentary Gasland online and see the very real threat to your drinking water and if you think you can't be affected think again. It has been such a lucrative business that other companies are thinking of starting to drill in other countries as well.

Good times on the platform. Train isn't moving, at least two trains directly behind it. #wmata @unsuckdcmetro twitpic.com/5p86jc

Frick and Frack actually jumped in the pool with the kids. I was laughing so hard, I almost forgot to take a picture.
The Washington County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday was standing room only and overflow, shown, into the lobby area of the building with a TV and audio. The Supervisors were to vote on letting gas companies use fracking to retreive gas. There has been a large number of residents against the method claiming polution and lost water wells from the drilling.

Body of Water by Betty T. Kao
“In homage to our own bodies that are over 70% water, an interactive altar art piece that has us think about our water. A sculpture of a transparent jelly fish made with fabric, within the womb like billows is an embryonic water creature. A braided twist of ribbon is beaded together with semi precious stones, flows from the umbilical cord into tentacles. Below is a pool of paper, the water is represented by water drop shapes of paper encouraging people to write on and attach these letters to the sculpture. The drops are linked together to create a stream of consciousness surrealist game poem, encouraging a spoken word reading at the last day of the event under Ligget Arch. There is a battle for New York’s clean water going on right now. If the Marcellus Shale upstate is ruptured by gas companies, our drinking water will be infected with radioactive toxic materials that even reverse osmosis filters can not clean. My art piece “Body of Water” is participatory, I am creating a discussion with the audience. Health studies in other states that have fracked, have proven that contact with these poisonous chemicals in their drinking water resulted in cancer. This is the best way to protect the waters is to ban frack. Pass bill, S4220. We can participate in our own health by telling our representatives to ban fracking. It is an easy simple call, to find your rep go to:
or
The audience are encouraged to become participants by calling their local senator to vote to Ban Frack.
