The event will feature a cross section of activists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers impacted by and engaged in advocacy and policy-making efforts around extreme energy projects at the local, regional, and state level. We’ll be demystifying technical jargon and answering the questions: how do these extreme energy projects impact me and the food my family eats, and what can I do to keep NY’s food and economy safe?
Potential speakers include: local NYC food businesses; regional advocacy efforts in Minisink NY, a small town an hour north of New York City located in the heart of NY’s black-dirt region and our dairy-belt where the Millenium Pipeline travels through; and statewide efforts to ban hydrofracking in New York State.
