NYC Event This Friday : Gasoducto/PR Gas Pipeline ¿Verde or Muerte?/Green or Deadly? A Dialogue with Dr. Arturo Massol
10:59 am By Maegan La Mala · Environment|New York City|Puerto Rico
5 Jun 2011FRIDAY, JUNE 10
FROM 6:00PM – 9:00PM
UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
3041 BROADWAY @ 121ST STREET
A controversial gas pipeline (named Via Verde by the government and Via de la Muerte by everyone else) threatens the entire island of Puerto Rico. While opposition to the project is nearly unanimous, the administration of Gov. Luis Fortuño is determined to construct it no matter how many lives and communities are effected or how much permanent damage is done to the natural environment and historical sites of native Taino people. Already, on May 1st, tens of thousands marched under a torrential downpour to SAY NO TO THE GASODUCTO! Many more have also signed petitions against the project and Congressman Luis Gutierrez has eloquently ripped the proposal in Congress. During this special forum, we will be joined by Dr. Arturo Massol of Casa Pueblo, the dynamic Adjuntas, Puerto Rico-based community organization – and winner of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize – that is leading the effort to get this unnecessary, costly and dangerous project terminated. Renewable, sustainable energy sources are abundant in Puerto Rico and can be developed instead of this deadly project.
