HEC's Workshops on Industrial Livestock Agriculture Continue into 2014
 | | Attorney Dave Brinley speaking about the work of his community group in Decatur County at our Kosciusko County workshop |
From Carroll County to Decatur, Hoosier Environmental Council has been on the road hosting workshops and talking to Hoosiers about industrial livestock agriculture. These workshops aim to educate interested citizens about the effects of industrial livestock operations on the environment and human health, alternative farming methods, and how to take action on this issue locally.
Upcoming workshops will be held in Blackford and Randolph Counties in early 2014, but we are always looking for new locations. If you would like to bring an industrial livestock farming workshop to your community or share your CAFO / CFO experience, please contact HEC's Amelia Vohs.
For more information on upcoming workshops visit www.caslf.org or like our new Facebook page devoted to this project!
And please take action to protect communities from CAFO pollution by emailing your legislators about the most troubling proposed constitutional amendment that HEC has encountered, known as "Right to Hunt and Fish" or "Right to Farm."
