Liveable Arlington Executive Director Ranjana Bhandari is a longtime Arlington resident who was a stay-at-home mother when natural gas drilling arrived in Arlington. She founded Liveable Arlington in January 2015 over concerns about the detrimental effects of pollution from gas drilling and its role in accelerating the climate crisis.
Ranjana is on the board of earthworks, a national nonprofit dedicated to protecting communities from the adverse health impacts of energy development. She also serves as a member of Arlington’s Citizens' Environmental Committee. She holds a master's in economics from Brown University.
Her talk will highlight her group's efforts, including the recent 23-month-long campaign to stop the permitting of gas wells next to an east Arlington preschool that ended with a permit denial last month.
