Fracked Gas Pipeline Educational Forum on Tuesday, Oct. 13th at 6:30 p.m. at the East Granby Public Library.

Fracked Gas Pipeline Educational Forum

Hosted by The Sierra Club Connecticut Chapter,

Food & Water Watch, and 350CT.

Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in the East Granby Public Library, 24 Center Street, East Granby 06026.

There are numerous pipeline expansion plans currently undergoing approval at the federal and state level, or already under construction, yet many Connecticut residents are unaware of the costs associated with these projects.

Please attend our forum if you want answers to the following questions:

How will pipeline expansions affect my town & neighborhood?

How will the cost of these new projects affect my energy bill?

Is methane, or fracked, natural gas, really a bridge fuel?

What are the health and safety impacts for local residents?

What is the effect on the environment of piping fracked gas under rivers, through wetlands, and across sensitive ecosystems?

How does leaked methane impact climate change?

More gas = more fracking = more toxic, radioactive fracking waste. What does this mean for CT?

There is significant concern about the effects of these construction projects on the economy, environment, health and safety of the citizens of Connecticut, and development of carbon-free, renewable energy alternatives.

This event is free and open to the public.

Tuesday, October 13th at 6:30 p.m.

East Granby Public Library, 24 Center Street, East Granby CT 06026.
