March for Responsible Energy

THE MARCH FOR RESPONSIBITY 

WHEN:

May 14^th at High Noon

WHERE:

FROM

Santa Fe’s Historic Train Depot

410 S. Guadalupe Street, Santa Fe, NM

Just over 1 mile along the train route

TO

New Mexico Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department

1220 South Saint Francis Drive, Santa Fe, NM

This is a one mile long march along the historic train route.

WHY:

To protest the attempt by the Oil & Gas Industry with New Mexico’s Governor to overturn New Mexico’s PIT RULE which provides for proper waste water disposal while fracking for fossil fuels (instead of pumping toxic chemical latent slurry water back into the Earth out of sight out of mind);

A hearing by the State’s partisan Oil Conservation Department (OCD) has been scheduled for the week of May 14-18 at the New Mexico Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department Porter Hall Conference Room. Whether or not the hearing takes place (for legal appeal reasons it may not) we will march on the basis that it has been scheduled in the first place.

We the people intend to let it be known by this March for Responsible Energy that we stand for responsible energy development in America, not a race to the bottom where anything goes for oil and gas development including trampling on our clean water and clean air and polluting the climate that sustains us all.

The Climate Change Leadership Institute (CCLI) and the Students for a Sustainable Future (SSF) have organized this March for Responsible Energy in conjunction with our 2012 Direct Action Project called LIFT THE FOG which stands for Launching Integrity and Facing Truth in Fracking Oil and Gas. This project calls on our elected officials to responsibly regulate fracking and calls on the oil & gas industry to adopt substantial sustainable development measures. Without these vital steps which could help propel America into a new era of responsible energy we the people will demand a nationwide moratorium on fracking.
