Contest: Make a Meme Calling for Cancellation of CT’s New Proposed Fracked Gas Plant
First Prize $100 cash, Second Prize $50 cash Third Prize $30 cash
Details
The NTE Energy company is getting ready to build a fracked (methane) gas plant in Connecticut to produce electricity. Besides negative local effects it will burn methane and throw some 2 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air yearly. The methane used is produced by fracking which notoriously leaks methane into the air. All the permits have been approved for the “Killingly Energy Center”. Though the area is empty now and community activists and local political leaders have been fighting it for years, the digging could start at any time.
CT Governor Lamont can stop it. He has to be convinced, influenced, or shamed into realizing that we are living in a climate emergency and there’s no way millions more tons of CO2/methane emissions are acceptable. More facts here.
One way to get people involved is through memes/cartoons/graphics.
So Promoting Enduring Peace is holding a contest and will give a cash award to the best three meme’s.
