From Sandra Steingraber,
Selected quotes from recent interview:
Note: Sandra won the $100,000 Heinz Award
for significant achievements benefiting the environment.
"$100,000 is NOTHING to the big boys in the corporate natural gas world. The only way money will work if it will also embolden others to do big things."
"We’re at the 11th hour now. The moratorium was here before, but now that's over. Now is the time if you don’t want to be fracked. As a cancer survivor, whatever money I have ends up going into paying medical bills. When you live in an area surrounded by frackers, what point is it to even try to do that if the water, air, community, etc., will be gone and destroyed and the area becomes a toxic wasteland?
"So, what better use of money than to defend and protect this place? I couldn’t think of better thing to do, with even more of a public platform, to highlight lunacy of fracking. I want others to feel that they shouldn’t give up before they start the fight. Self-defeatism is what’s beating us — learned helplessness — beats us even more than the formidable power of natural gas industry.
"Whatever I can do to get people out of that place — if you want to be the hero, now’s
your chance. I hope to use the money to open up space for speech, and not silence."
BE SEEING YOU...
