Some breakfast reading material

If you get a chance, check out this very powerful blog by Lauren Petracca, RIT student of photojournalism. The photos are quite beautiful, and it brings a personal touch to the whole Hydrofracking issue. She went down to Dimock, PA, and stayed with families whose water has been affected by gas drilling. I suggest scrolling to the bottom, and starting with Sunday, Feb. 5th.

I think it's very important that these families stories are told. Thanks, Lauren!
