[All] Gasland & Shocking UN report re: Food production

[Ginny Quinn]

Hi LU and ALL    I sent this disgusting    shocking    fearsome info out about 4-5 wks ago.  Thanks for doing it again Lulu, ,this contaminates the water.  No wonder there's so much disease  and mental problems with all the poisonous things going itnpo our bodies with the full co operastion and knowledge of the people we PAY to look after us.    Ginny

Next Monday Kit.  Council will vote , at Carl Zehrs encouraging and pushing to NOT HONOUR THE COUNTRY SIDE LINE THAT THE REGION NEEDS PROTECTED IN THE HIGH WATER RECHARGE AREA  the triangular piece of land in Kit.'s south west corner .   Region needs that bfor community wells.  I'll be at Council next Mon. nite.   Gazzola is the only one saying don't do this.  Mayor and council have a MORAL and fiscal obligation to do what's best for the majority  and the future of this community.   It's  wrong   wrong   wrong.   Ginny   
 Kit. is already 40% below tree coverage needed and I've been told that we have 5000 Ash trees in jeopardy now with the ash beetle which is already around us in Hamilton   London   and may already be here but if not ,it's coming.  G.

        Hi folks. Shocking stuff for you today.

        Gasland
        Natural gas is currently being extracted currently in Lake Erie and our surrounding watersheds and the movie Gaslands explores the impacts of fracking on municipal water supplies and public health. Human illnesses and flamable water is coming from the taps in multiple locations and there is contamination of aquifer systems taking place by a multitude of toxic compounds required for natural gas extraction.

        I encourage everyone to visit the official website of the movie to explore the facts at:  http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/.

        I've already contacted the owner of the Princess/Princess Twin Cinema to get this film in and I've offered to give a quick prefilm lecture on the matter, 5-10 min. just to let people know that gas extraction is already taking place in our watershed and under Erie, that the MNR is both the promotor and regulator of crown land resources. That we need to secure legislation to protect our water supplies from fracking. 

        Assessing the environmental impacts of consumption of production
        This newly released UN report states that over 50% of our crops are being used to feed animals.  Agricultural production accounts for a staggering 70% of the global freshwater consumption, 38% of the total land use, and 14% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. To view the report visit here:

        By local, by veggies!

        Lulu :0)
