Bloom Collective to host discussion on Fracking in Michigan this Saturday – Oct. 13

The Bloom Collective will be hosting a discussion this Saturday at its Westside location on the urgent issue of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, in Michigan.

Communities around the country are resisting the push to extract more natural gas by fracking. More and more research is showing the devastating effects of fracking for natural gas, both environmental and health effects.

According to the Bloom Collective’s Facebook event page:

We will present information the ecological consequences of fracking, watch the short film entitled The Sky is Pink, talk about some specifics on fracking in Michigan, the DNR land auction planned for October 24 and what groups are currently doing and not doing in Michigan to challenge fracking.

This event will be a potluck discussion. The Bloom Collective will provide some food and beverages, but anyone is invited to bring food to share.

We are asking a donation of $3 for this event, which goes a long way towards our expenses.
