Subject: Abundance Foundation volunteer opportunities

Connie,
Thanks for asking about volunteer opportunities!  Chatham County is blessed with amazing non-profits.

We focus on education around sustainability, particularly local food, local economy and renewable energy.  We have a DIY Sustainability Workshop Series in which we need (1) volunteer to assist the Instructors per workshop.

We have a group that is kicking of the 2nd Chatham County Schools Chef Challenge in the 17 schools/8000 kids and will need help getting the word out and with some of the logistics.

Response to Lynn Fass and Angela Blueskies:

- unfortunately you seem determined to promote fear-mongering instead of fact, Gasland for example is anything but fact.

Subject: Mr. Glendinning’s fracking post

What a ridiculous post comparing the pouring of fracking fluids deep under ground to women’s makeup and drips of antifreeze that escape into the sewer and onto the ground.  None of the chemicals you mention are being poured, pumped, into miles of underground spaces made by machines and high pressure to claim the natural gas there. 

Nor are the volumes even comparable.  This post seems a very flippant response to try to make light of a serious issue that needs to continue to be discussed seriously in our county.

Subject: Response to Tom Glendinning’s fracking opinions

November 7, 2011

In response to Mr. Glendinning’s pro-fracking post, I will not attempt to characterize his motives as he does those of environmentalists, but try to offer solutions as he requests.

“I will guarantee that the gas drilling process will be managed to the best professional standards, if we can arrive at a meeting of the minds.”
