Gasland available
at the library
Learn about the consequences to your drinking
water supply .
Gasland
is a movie by Josh Fox that brings home the reality of “fracking”,
the hydraulic fracturing process used to obtain the gas from the
Marcellus Shale. The fracking has consequences not only for those
that live near it who may suffer land & well contamination, but for
all of us who live in the Delaware River Watershed. That’s our
water supply --- it is our “well”, so to speak..
You may take this CD out at your local library Please –invite your
neighbors and learn more about this serious issue. If you’d like
to work with others to do something about this, please contact us

PermaBlitz - The food action team organized a garden work party at a Wyncote
home on May 15th. We were amazed with how everyone worked together,
so competently, to get SO much accomplished. In just a few hours, a
grass lawn, as if by magic; was transformed into a wonderful
garden--beautiful to the eyes, regenerative for the environment, and
producing delicious nutritious food! The garden was designed by the
owner and the team and was created using the no-till method of sheet
mulching. We all had the benefit of sharing knowledge, ideas, work
and fun! This activity was paired with a pre-event tour of a suburban
edible landscape in Elkins Park. Participants were able to see
permaculture principles in action and talk about regenerating
healthy ecosystems in our communities.
