Sandra is a biologist and Distinguished Scholar in residence at Ithaca College. Sandra's acclaimed book, Living Downstream, was the first to bring together data on toxic releases with data from US cancer registries and won praise from international media. Called a "poet with a knife," Sandra has received many awards and in 2010 was named "one of the 25 visionaries who are changing your world," by Utne Reader. Her most recent book is "Raising Elijah: Protecting Children in an Age of Environment Crisis." She is founder of New Yorkers Against Fracking. She writes, "The pregnant mother who drinks unfiltered water from a rural well in the Susquehanna River valley has the same right to environmental protection as the mother in Manhattan who drinks unfiltered water brought to her from the off- limits New York City watershed." There are no children and counties in our beloved state that we are willing to sacrifice." And, isn't this true for all our world? JR
