May 10 @ 12 noon Movie Screening in Hearthside Lounge: GASLAND-Can you light your water on fire?? Part mystery, part travelogue and part banjo showdown, GASLAND documents a cross-country odyssey by filmmaker John Fox to find out if the controversial process of hydraulic fracturing (a form of gas drilling) is actually safe. Traveling across 24 states to interview families, EPA whistleblowers, congressmen and scientists in vast drilling areas, Fox unearths a shocking story about a practice that is understudied and inadequately regulated. GASLAND races to find answers about fracking before it's too late... 106 mins. Free Admission!

Wars of the future will be fought over water, as they are today over oil, as the source of all life enters the global marketplace and political arena.

Past civilizations have collapsed from poor water management. Will ours too?

The Sustainability Committee meets the 2nd Tuesday of each Month. 4:00 p.m. in the President's Conference Room (Admin. Building 1901)
