Proposed Battery Recycling Facility in Endicott, NY a Hazard
December 3, 2019
Shale’s Debt-Fueled Drilling Boom Is Coming To An End
December 8, 2019
What future do you want for the Delaware River Basin
(the source of water for 20 million people)?
50 Fracking Well Pads Along the Colorado River.
The above or THIS:
DCS is fighting to keep fracking AND frack waste disposal out of the Delaware River Basin and out of our water. There is still no binding prohibition of fracking or frack waste disposal in (or water export from) the Delaware River Basin!
DCS needs your help to pay legal expenses to protect both water and air in the Basin!
2020 will be the 12th year that DCS has fought gas and oil drilling and the damage they cause. Thank you for joining us in fighting these Goliaths (see our Appeal Letter for 2019).
Our Work Continues in 2020 – In Addition to Our Legal Work:
DCS Supports Ron Gulla
We are the only organization financially supporting Ron Gulla, a respected advocate/educator who works directly with policymakers, media, impacted individuals, and the largest environmental groups. Ron was the first to collect information on the cancer clusters in Southwest PA, that coincided with fracking in and around communities (fracking and sickness seem to go together). He created a community of activists by connecting the affected families. He also serves as an expert witness to advance and broaden the knowledge of impacts, INCLUDING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF FRACKING IS ALLOWED IN THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN. We can’t keep him working without your continued support.
DCS Opposes Proposed LNG Export Terminal in the Delaware River Basin
We are challenging New Fortress Delaware Partner’s Liquified Natural Gas export terminal in the Delaware Bay – which would vastly increase demand for Marcellus gas and its local and global impacts.
We’ve successfully filed objections to DRBC’s voting on and granting permission to triple the project’s size. We have filed for “interested party” status, allowing us to continue to present information on health impacts; most others focus solely on environmental impacts. We can’t continue to provide this important perspective without your continued support.
DCS Supports Research on the Health Impacts of Fracking
A valued DCS member created Concerned Health Professionals of NY in 2011; they’ve put out the 5th edition of the compendium on the health risks and harms of fracking this year. We’re moving to create a similar advocacy group in the Pennsylvania health community, with a campaign that is modeled on the New York chapter. We can rally this significant demographic with your continued support.
Environmental fights and wins are slow and difficult, but we are persistent. Only if we keep the pressure on do we have a chance to prevail. We will not let up. We can not let up.
Please give as generously as you can again this year, and together we will continue to be the little, grassroots organization that makes a BIG difference.
