The Sierra Club NYC chapter is hosting a panel discussion and public forum on the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico at 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 8th, at the New School. The greatest environmental disaster in U. S. history dredges up many questions, which include –
- What do you think is the legal and moral role and responsibility of BP in the environmental clean-up?
- What about BP’s financial responsibility?
- Do you think we need more regulation of offshore drilling enough, or should there be a complete moratorium?
- How do we eliminate fossil fuel dependence and embrace renewable energy?
- Should NYC act now to reduce our consumption of oil?
- How do we make this change happen–public education, or street protests?
The panel and public forum is sponsored by the Sierrra Club NYC chapter and MoveOn, among others. Let your voice be heard. The meeting is at New School Wollman Hall, Fifth Floor, 65 West 11th St., 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, June 8th. It’s free, but let the organizers know your are attending. RSVP to beyondoilnyc@yahoo.com.
