Upcoming Opportunity for Local Action!

On May 10-11, a conference called "Frac Sand Insider" will be taking place at the La Crosse Center. The conference organizers are touting Wisconsin as the "heartland of industrial sands" and La Crosse as the "perfect place" for the frac sand industry to showcase their products and services.

Is this what we want the Coulee Region to be known for? A mining industry that enables an extraction process that threatens our water, causes earthquakes, and wreaks havoc with our climate?

Local anti-frac-sand and conservation groups are in the process of planning a response to this event that will likely include a rally in La Crosse during the conference, calling for a ban on frac sand mining. Stay tuned to this blog for further details as plans develop!
