What’s in the water?

The Cen­ter for Urban Ped­a­gogy (CUP) is excited to announce the debut of What’s in the Water?, a poster that uses illus­tra­tion and info­graph­ics to break down the hydraulic frac­tur­ing (frack­ing) process and shows how it could impact the food and water sup­plies of New York City.

What’s in the Water? is the lat­est issue of Mak­ing Pol­icy Pub­lic, a series of fold-out posters that use graphic design to explore and explain pub­lic policy.

Join CUP on Wednes­day, Feb­ru­ary 13th, for a con­ver­sa­tion with Barry Estabrook, an award-winning writer on issues of food safety and jus­tice, and Al Apple­ton, a Senior Fel­low at the Cooper Union Insti­tute for Sus­tain­able Design, on the risks frack­ing poses to the city’s food, health, and drink­ing water.

Atten­dees will also receive a free copy of the What’s in the Water? poster.
