Yesterday at AASHE!

Yesterday, I saw a plenary session given by David Orr, and the students saw the President of the United States! What a day. Later on, we all saw a plenary talk by Sandra Steingraber, the author of Living Downstream, a great book and soon to be a movie. A few of us had a chance to talk science with her about hydraulic fracturing for natural gas extraction, a massive environmental problem... Check out the link (www.livingdownstream.com) for the book/movie!
