Big Bend Group Meeting
May 9, 2013
6:30 - 8:30pm
Join us this month for a presentation and discussion on hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" in Florida and other efforts to Extract our Remaining Fossil Fuels.

Fracking and its effects have gained national attention in places like New York and Pennsylvania, but did you know lawmakers were considering a bill to place it on our books here in Florida! Kim Ross, president of Rethink Energy Florida, has followed this effort closely both statewide and nationally, and will discuss the problem, status, and potential resolutions to our growing need for natural gas and other fossil fuels. Sponsored by the Big Bend Sierra Club.
