THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Friday, March 27, 7-9pm, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd.

“Oil-and-gas wells produce nearly a trillion gallons of toxic waste a year. An investigation shows how it could be making workers sick and contaminating communities across America.”

Rolling Stone Magazine Science Journalist, Justin Nobel; and Water/Soil Scientist, Dr. Julie Weatherington-Rice, will present their findings on the impact of the radioactive waste stream of the burgeoning shale gas (fracking) extraction, processing, and shipping, on the people and communities involved. Justin Nobel spent two years researching, and interviewing industry workers, activists, watchdogs, and scientists for this pivotal expose, focused on the people and communities in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia Marcellus/Utica Shale regions.

There will be a question-and-answer period at the end of the presentations.

Hosted by GrassRoot Ohio, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus, Columbus Community Bill of Rights, Radioactive Waste Alert, and WGRN 94.1.
