On April 11 (7pm) and April 12 (1pm)
Wes Wilson will be giving a presentation
at Assisi
Heights in Rochester, MN,
on the environmental and public health impacts of
hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a. fracking).
Frac sand mining, processing, and
transportation are aspects of this extreme energy extraction practice we are
facing in our region; this is a chance to learn more about the impacts on and
risks to communities at the other end of the process.
The same talk will be
given at two times, 7:00 pm, Friday, April 11, and 1:00 pm, Saturday, April 12.
Wilson is a retired geological engineer and Environmental Protection Agency
whistleblower, featured in the film Gasland. The presentations are free and open
to the public, but registration is requested; please see the attached flyer for
details.
This event is co-sponsored by the Sisters of Saint Francis of Rochester,
the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration of La Crosse, and Land Stewardship
Project.
Please feel free to share this blog entry and flyer with others
who would be interested.
