The Event: We will have a short talk about the aftermath of the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill, then a screening of GRN's series of shorts, followed by a Q&A session, a chance to sign a petition, and a raffle drawing to win a trip to New Orleans!

Please spread the news about this important series of short films and come and support the Gulf Restoration Network!

City Hall Fracking Meeting on Gas Drilling - Dallas

This is 1 of 2 public hearings on the formulation of the new gas drilling ordinance/or
considerations for it.  This is an open forum where you can ask questions,
bring up concerns (ie. water, emissions, pipeline placement, setback of
wells, property owner considerations, etc.).

The important thing is to show up so Chairwoman Lois Finkelman and others
understand that people in Dallas care about how/where/when gas drilling is
done.  In other words, bring your sincere questions and comments. Ask the
committee about how all this is to be monitored, executed, etc. whatever
comes to mind as something you think homeowners and residents need to know.
