frack your diet fridays!

starting in February, Olive will host 'Frack your Diet, Fridays'. the special will be all about comfort food, and 5% of our lunch sales will go to fighting unsafe fracking practices in ohio. governor kasich has opened up our state parks for fracking and has accepted huge contributions from the industries that will benefit most from pounding 5-8 million gallons of water and 500,000 gallons of chemicals into each well to harvest the gas. meanwhile Ohio has accepted millions of gallons of Marcellus Shale waste (from Pennsylvania!) for disposal deep in our underground, putting it on pace to bank nearly $1 million in fees this year from out-of-state drillers (which is sooo not enough money to be worth it!)... because their own states won't let them bury any more of the poisonous stuff. ohio needs money, but not like this. help us, help the people with a voice to protect our water, our land, and the health of our people and livestock. Frack your Diet Fridays, it's the tasty way to fight environmental crime.
