Hello
from beautiful Knoxville, Tennessee where I am presenting FRAC SAND LAND
and premiering my new video Machinery Destruction at the 2013 Fractivist
Conference this weekend. I have traveled to the conference being
held at the University of TN. Knoxville in hopes to see some old friends and
meet new ones. Here is a link to the events happening over the 3
day event. http://earthroot.net/frackconference/
Here
is an important article that was just released this week concerning the U of T
and how they will not be fracking on property owned by the University of TN.
This is a huge victory that has taken a decade to achieve.

This
is one less place OUR sand will not be
used. It is important for us to educate ourselves and each other
about where and how our sand is used by this industry.
Dallas,
Texas City Council just passed a vote to not allow fracking in Dallas and has proposed some of
the strongest setbacks the oil and gas industry has seen. This is another place
our sand will not be shipped to.

If
the fracking for natural gas and oil takes a dive so does the demand for frac
sand.
Wouldn’t
it be nice if we all woke up tomorrow in a frack free world where our precious
bluffs and hills would no longer be at risk?
This
is where you come in!
PLAN TO ATTEND
Allamakee
County Planning and Zoning meetings regarding the development of
ordinances pertaining to frac sand mining. WE need as many people
to show up and voice their concerns and ideas about what they would like to see
drafted within the ordinances to protect our sensitive area here in N.E.
Iowa.
These
forums are open to the public. If you are unable to attend or would like to
comment on a subject that has already been covered please feel free to contact
us or the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Once
again I have tried to keep this update short, but with so much happening so fast
in the world of frac sand mining and fracking it’s hard to stop when all of the
information is important and connected.
Watch
for another newsletter coming soon with additional dates you will not want to
miss. Save the date for Saturday October 19th, in
Lansing, IA. more on that later.
