The Rusticus Garden Club will be screening Gasland. Gasland is a documentary about the process of hyrdaulic fracturing or "hydrofracking" which is used to extract natural gas. This is a particularly important issue for residents in Westchester and New York state as hydrofracking has been proposed for upstate New York in areas which supply drinking water to NYC and many communities in Westchester. Governor Patterson signed an Executive Order shortly before he left office which imposes a moratorium until June 2011 on horizontal drilling used in hyrdrofracking, but what happens after June will be critically important to the quality of our water supply and environment.
Q&A to follow: After the film a panel of experts including Paul Gallay, Executive Director of Riverkeeper, Suzannah Glidden (and possibly Dr. Marion Rose) of Croton Watershed Clean Water Coalition, and Cara Lee, Director of the Shawangunk Ridge Program and The Nature Conservancy, will be available for questions after the film.

The more I hear about fracking the more I wonder why more people don't understand that it's downside far out weighs what it produces.
