Sharon Ponton, of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League (BREDL), will present on fracking and how it affects water resources and can be linked to man-made earthquakes. As a part of her work with BREDL, her goal is to start a group in Nelson which will work to ban fracking and its various related activities such as injection wells and/or wastewater treatment plants.
Non-fracked water, lemonade and coffee will be provided.
