Slow Down the DEC: Fast Track to Fracking NYC

The Food Coop’s Environmental Committee is organizing a series of workshops to provide guidance for writing an effective letter to the DEC, commenting on their regulations.

Governor Cuomo and the Department of Environmental Conservation are putting the energy Industry on a fast track to frack New York State. The NYS DEC recently issued a Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) which, if accepted, will allow hydro-fracking to begin. 

We have until December 12 to send comments to the DEC. Write your letter today!
