Save Our Beer: Troy

SBell — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:04:04 +0000

Join Environmental Advocates of New York, Riverkeeper, and the New York Water Rangers to celebrate award-winning water and beer!

New York’s water is at risk from industrial gas drilling called fracking. Fracking requires millions of gallons of water, sand, and toxic chemicals pumped deep underground. The gas industry wants to frack thousands of wells across the state, endangering the health and safety of our water and forever altering our communities.

Environmental Advocates and our New York Water Rangers partners are working to protect our communities from fracking and keep toxic fracking chemicals out of the water that makes our beer.

You can help. Join us to learn how you can get involved!
