In class today we discussed the importance of the local issue regarding hydrofracking on Thompson Divide near Carbondale.  Students were very interested in taking action.  Here is a link to the Save Thompson Divide website where you can submit a letter to the BLM encouraging them to deny lengthening the drilling lease that expires this spring.  In addition, you can submit a letter to Senator Bennet requesting formal legislation to protect this area.

Go to the following link to read about the issue.  Click on "take action" to submit your letter.
