Join fellow environmental advocates this June for a compelling three-week book read of Justin Nobel’s new book, “Petroleum-238: Big Oil’s Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It.” This book club is an opportunity to read the book with a small group of environmental leaders and discuss the most effective interventions to protect our communities and environment from irreparable harms.
About the Book
“Petroleum-238” exposes the harrowing truth behind the oil and gas industry’s disposal of billions of tons of waste, much of it toxic and radioactive. The fracking boom has only worsened the problem.
🎉 Book included!
Halt the Harm Network is supporting Justin’s book launch by reimbursing the cost of Petroleum 238 from the book store of your choice. Individual purchases help the book climb the charts and be seen by more people.
If you don’t have the book yet, we encourage you to order the book today so you have it in time for the book club. Just email your receipt to info@halttheharm.net with “book club” in the subject line, and we’ll provide a full reimbursement for your book.
What to Expect
- Weekly Discussions: Read and share reflections on a new segment of the book each week. It’s a chance to meet others who also care about these issue and discuss effective interventions.
- Guest Appearances: The book club will be joined by special guests, including the author Justin Nobel. Hear directly from people whose stories are told in the book and have the opportunity to discuss further details.
- Friendly Platform: The club is hosted in Halt the Harm Network, which means there is a forum along with a convenient event calendar. Get reminders each week with your link to join, and post reflections anytime.
Campaign Toolkit
The book club gives us a chance to learn more deeply through stories and specific examples. It’s also a chance to practice speaking out about the harms of oil & gas waste with both facts and narrative.
Along with the meetups, you’ll gain access to a campaign toolkit to help fight oil & gas waste in your community.
