Join the SUNY Cortland Green Reps on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Sperry Center, Room 205 for a showing of the film “GasLand” which explores the fracking petroleum industry and its environmental consequences.
There will be popcorn provided by SUNY Cortland Auxiliary Services, thanks to funding by Pepsi. In an effort to keep this event LOW to NO WASTE we are asking people to bring their own bowl to limit the amount of waste generated by this event. Cortland Auxiliary has offered to supply a limited quantity of beverages during the event.
Following is the Sundance Film Festival–noted storyline summary: “It is happening all across America-rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground — a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking" — and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.”
This event is sponsored by the Green Reps, the Sustainability Office and Cortland Auxiliary. For more information, contact sustainability@cortland.edu.
