The Bag Monster Disagrees.
Betsy here.
I'm not going to be in class today because I have an interview, but I wanted to drop this here, because our very own Josh was in the news!
Check it out here
He's talking about Hydraulic Fracturing (or Fracking), which is sort of bioethics related. Basically a campus advertising class is doing a campaign on how natural gas is a good alternative to our current fuel, and Josh is arguing that the process of extracting the gas is a human health risk and hazardous to the environment. (not to mention that it's still a fossil fuel, which means it is not sustainable and is not a long term fix).
Hopefully he's there today to tell you more!
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a bioethical/public health issue, fracking's got to go. Good job, Joshua!
