Stop Fracking Away Our Future!
Featuring Tabitha Tripp, Southern Illinoisans Against Fracturing Our Environment
and Jessica Fujan, Food and Water Watch Illinois
Just weeks ago, the Illinois House and Senate approved bills that will regulate hydraulic fracturing or “fracking”. This Halliburton-developed drilling technology of shale gas extraction has the potential to unlock a “Saudi Arabia of natural gas” in Illinois. But at what cost? And who would bear the brunt of the impacts?
Watch Josh Fox’s Gasland, Part I to learn about the impacts of fracking. Then, meet Tabitha Tripp from Southern Illinoisans Against Fracturing Our Environment (Skype) and Jessica Fujan, Food and Water Watch Illinois to learn about:
- The campaign for a moratorium, which would have allowed time to study and assess impacts from fracking.
- Regulations that were moved forward by our elected officials, despite concerns raised by residents, activists, and environmental organizations.
- What’s next in the fight to protect natural resources and the people of Illinois from this highly controversial method of natural gas extraction.

In this video, Tabitha Tripp of SAFE (Southern Illinoisans Against Fracturing our Environment) protests SB1715 – a bill to open up Illinois to fracking – outside the Illinois Governor’s Office.
SCUPE S-H 307: Eco-Justice: A Vision for a Sustainable City
The church has a significant role in developing a holistic vision for a sustainable city as an outworking of the concept of shalom, a just peace. The course will evaluate the three components of sustainable community development: the three E’s of economics, environment and equity (or social justice).
Participants will explore the course topic via readings, panel discussions and site visits. Students will have the option of exploring key issues such as energy policy, food production, environmental justice and pollution and how these challenges relate to the central course themes.
Central to the course is the question, “What does it mean to be a sustainable urban community?”
