This week Growing Good and host Alessandra-Maria Iavarone revisit an important and urgent issue: the continued push by energy companies to extract natural gas through hydrofracking which has been shown to leeches toxic chemicals into ground and drinking water. With the help of activist and mom Silvia Kolbowski, Growing Good keeps you updated on the action alerts that are going on in NY and the Northeast and how you can do your part to make sure our water is safe. Later, the show lightens up as Eldon Scott, the president of Urban Spaces NYC, joins in the conversation to talk about the famous and festive holiday markets Urban Spaces put on every year at Union Square, Lincoln Center, and the Dekalb Market in Brooklyn. This episode is sponsored Heritage Foods USA.
