Gasland - a review

Last week about 40 people came along to The Glad Cafe (an amazing new music and cultural venue on the Southside of Glasgow!) to watch the award winning documentary Gasland.

We were treated to some fantastic food - a vegetable curry and chapatis - all made from locally grown food supplied by Glasgow Locavore and cooked by Clem and Kate (thanks guys!)

I hadn't seen the film before but I had heard a lot about it and how it really highlights the dash for gas in the US as a result of the political desire for energy security and domestic energy supplies. This has seen huge corporations frack there way from state-to-state resulting in the huge negative health and environmental impacts that the film documents.

Gasland - the movie!

Glasgow Local Food Network presents... A film and local food evening to expose the environmental threats posed by fracking to our food, water and landscape. This is a pressing issue for Scotland as energy companies like Dart Energy eye up our natural resources.

Grab a drink from the bar and a bowl of organic veggie curry before the film. The screening will be followed by a discussion and a chance for you to find out more about the campaign against fracking in Scotland. http://frackoffscotland.org.uk/
