This is an extraordinary suggestion. Ron Saff, Amalie Datz and I met a week ago
with Dept. of Agriculture enviro person and argued for ban on fracking, listing
water contamination etc. but the possibility of their Secretary of Ag, Adam
Putnam, who wants to run for Governor, taking such a stance is huge. We will
share this info and approach with them.

All,
I spoke with Craig Stevens (major antifractivist from Groundswell Rising film)
yesterday and among the things we were talking about was farming produce. He
suggested telling our Florida farmers to label their produce as FRACK FREE FROM
FLORIDA. This is a brilliant idea. There is a market for uncontaminated
produce and this would be an educational tool on steroids. I’m hearing more
and more from people who don’t want to buy from California because of fear of
eating contaminated produce. This will also let our farmers know that they
don’t want fracking here because it could damage their business.
I’m going to talk to farmers about this and I hope you do also.
Best regards,
Karen Hudon

The health ill effects of fracking have been seen as among the strongest
arguments against fossil fuels, etc.

Hi All,
About a month ago, I sent you the results of some number-crunching by my friend
Cyndy Nayer of Naples on recently published research about increases in
hospitalizations in heavily-fracked counties in Pennsylvania. Cyndy has written
a post about the study and her own results on her website and is offering a
one-page handout<http://www.cyndynayer.com/fracking-hospitalization-costs/>
that can be given to legislators. You may be particularly interested in the
information re: related research at the bottom of the page-long post.
Onward,
Michelle
