In response to the proposed leasing of Alabama’s National
Forests to oil and gas drilling, Wild South and several other Alabama
organizations have united in opposition to this industrial development and the
threats it poses to the environment and the health of our communities.
As showcased in the documentary Gasland,
drilling for oil and gas can have disastrous consequences for our environment
and our communities. With a huge push to target domestic sources of
energy there is not enough oversight or accountability for this industry.
Who/What: Wild South and local organizations to host screenings of
the award winning documentary, “Gasland”
When: Doors open at 5:30pm, Screenings and discussions 6-8pm
Where: Monday July 30th Tuscaloosa, AL @ Bama Theatre
Tuesday July
31st Birmingham, AL @ Workplay
Attendees are encouraged to participate in discussions
before the film. Information on what people can do to address oil and gas
drilling in Alabama’s National Forests will be shared.
The following organizations have declared their support for
permanently withdrawing all federal lands in the National Forests of Alabama
from any proposed and future oil and gas leasing: Alabama Rivers Alliance,
Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Birmingham Audubon Society, Cahaba Riverkeeper,
Friends of Hurricane Creek, Green Coalition, Coosa Riverkeeper, Shoals
Environmental Alliance, and Wild South
Visit Black Warrior Riverkeeper’s Coalbed Methane & Fracking
webpage for more information about this issue.
