Eco-Film Series Continues
The Dayton International Peace Museum will host environmental film presentations from 10 am until noon on the second Saturday of each month. Some of the films will be provocative, some controversial - all will be thought-provoking and inspire conversation and response.
Eco-film Series:To Frack or not to Frack? Increasingly that question is driving the political and economic agenda of Ohio, with industry promises of jobs, prosperity and cheap energy for all. But at what expense - to our environment, to our health, and to our way of life? You cannot avoid hearing the avid and seductive appeal of the gas lobby through the news, through their "educational" efforts, and through their political allies. Now, hear an alternative voice in our February eco-film, Gasland. This controversial film casts a critical eye on gas company promises and raises questions concerning the safety and environmental impact of fracking or hydraulic fracturing, as it is more properly known. See http://gaslandthemovie.com for more information on the film and judge for yourself by attending the showing from 10 am to noon on Saturday, Feb 11th at the Dayton International Peace Museum. Gasland will be shown in the Holbrooke Annex located at 208 West Monument Avenue, Dayton, OH 45402 (call (937)-227-3223 or go to daytonpeacemuseum.org for directions). Free off-street parking is available. Cosponsors of the series include the Peace Museum, Ohio Interfaith Power and Light, and Creation Connection of the Greater Dayton Christian Connection.
