Published 30 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I'm excited to announce that Justin Nobel is giving a presentation on a new toolkit for leaders who want to stop oil & gas waste contamination.

Over the past few weeks, journalist Justin Nobel has been on tour exposing the vulnerable underbelly of the oil & gas industry – it’s reliance on cheap (or illegal) disposal of its waste, including radioactive materials. His new book, Petroleum-238 is an extensive account of this waste problem across the U.S. Keep reading for details on the upcoming book read.
