Dallas Area Residents for Responsible Drilling
312-504-9222 2647 Southwood Drive Dallas, Texas 75233 |
DARRD Recently formed over the summer of 2010 when it became known that the city of Dallas was considering applications for drilling within the city limits. We are only for responsible drilling under strict oversight contained within a strong gas ordinance. This currently does not exist in Dallas and we want our officials to convene a task force in order to address the many issues associated with natural gas exploration. www.dallasdrilling.wordpr ess.com |

Clean Air Council
(215) 567-4004 135 S. 19th Street, Suite 300 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 |
Clean Air Council is a member- supported, non-profit environmental organization dedicated to protecting everyone's right to breathe clean air. The Council works through public education, community advocacy, and government oversight to ensure enforcement of environmental laws. The Council was founded in 1967 by a group of forward-looking community leaders, policy makers, and progressive business leaders. Headquartered in Philadelphia, the Council made a name for itself by the mid-1970s as the result of two major achievements: establishing and distributing a daily regional air quality index report (still used to this day); and forcing Pennsylvania to implement its vehicle emissions testing program. The Council has now grown to include 8,000 members and expanded its programmatic focus to include children’s environmental health, energy, climate change, waste and recycling, and transportation. The Council has also established an indoor air quality resource center for the public and holds the Philadelphia area’s largest Earth Day event, the Annual 5k Run for Clean Air. |

C.O.R.E (Citizens Organizing for Resources & Environment)
903-583-9508 Street , Texas 75418 |
Mission Statement Our purpose is . . . • to provide resources that facilitate transition toward sustainable living, • to incubate ideas for local sustainability projects and services, and • to raise awareness of key environmental issues that affect the Texoma region of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Texoma has many assets that draw visitors and new residents to our area — clean air, beauty, agriculture, birds, fishing and hunting, open spaces, and our rural lifestyle. Lake Texoma, Bonham State Park, the Caddo Grasslands, and Lake Fannin are among the places we all enjoy. We want to preserve all these assets for ourselves and for future generations. If any of them is threatened, you can expect CORE to be finding the facts and educating citizens about the problem. CORE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2006. |
