Filmmaker Josh Fox is a David for our time. Davids stand up and speak truth to Goliaths when few others dare to. After winning the John Lennon Peace Prize, the Environmental Media Award, and countless others, his film, Gasland, which shows the high price we pay for so-called “natural” gas, has now been nominated for an Oscar in the documentary category. Gasland shows that in terms of CO2 levels, water contamination, health risks, loss of agriculture, tourism, and jobs, this is one of the dirtiest fuels around. Not surprisingly, the gas and oil industry doesn’t like to truth to be told. And so they are attacking the film, and critiquing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts for showing it. Learn more.

The Obama Administration declined a request to use its veto power to temporarily halt gas drilling in the Delaware River Basin, which supplies half of New York City’s water. Five percent of this country’s water supply, providing drinking, cleaning, and agricultural water to fifteen to seventeen million people, comes from the Delaware River, recently declared the 2010 “most endangered river” in the U.S. by American Rivers.

I’ve done incremental, individual change. I still do it. But it isn’t enough. And it won’t be enough. Day by day, creeping below the radar and hoping to sneak by and om your way out of what’s going on in the big and ugly out there of America become less and less of an option– if the water gets poisoned and the government is corrupt.
Do you know people who say, “What can I do? We’re screwed. All I can do is control how I feel about it.” Read More→

If you see the Sundance Award winning film, “Gasland” at the IFC Center in New York City, or if you saw it on HBO this past summer, watched it on PBS or saw it at last fall’s Sundance Festival, then you’re a concerned citizen exercising your right and duty to stay informed. But seeing the film in Pennsylvania could get your name circulated to law enforcement officials and pro-drilling groups eager to protect the gas drilling industry from ordinary citizens like you.

In a 48-9 vote in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the New York State Senate voted in Senate Bill S8129B, which will ban the issuance of gas permits until May 2011. The concern most recently cited by Senators speaking in Albany late last night were dangers of contamination by chemicals used in fracking to New York City’s unfiltered water supply. This win for environmental safety, public health and clean drinking water, followed months of grass roots organizing efforts, along with mounting media coverage of gas drilling dangers, sparked by numerous incidents of spills, accidents, explosions, water contamination and recent deaths in neighboring states, similar to those captured in the film Gasland.

I’m a Health Maven, both an agent and a product of the self-help movement. But something funny happened on the way to transforming the world through transforming ourselves. A bunch of people who didn’t share our values got there first. Unfortunately, our compassion and positive intentions did not convey themselves to the hearts of corporate executives such that they dashed off their yachts to call back their lobbyists. Nor did they elect to self-regulate to keep our children and planet safe. Read More→
