At least two shipments of fracking waste have been received in NJ and more could be coming. In Pa., a number of rivers were overloaded with inadequately treated waste where the state advised more than 300,000 people to switch to bottled water on several occasions.  Come and find out more about fracking from this informative movie and discussion.This issue is relevant to our population since a portion of our water comes from the Delaware river basin. This area has been targeted for fracking activity.
