HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

Because I have a volunteer oriented blog, I get requests to post about various causes on a daily basis. Sometimes the worry seems a little iffy or more like propaganda. However, there are occasionally things that are worth investigating for yourself.

There is a proposal and plans to build a subterranean biohazard testing lab as a part of Columbia University’s expansion program for its East Harlem campus. There is no doubt such things should be tested. Where the issue arises is that this biohazard lab is being built on a fault line, and there is concern that the geography (flood zone and fault line proximity) could cause a potential problem for the public down the road. Opposition to the project do not trust that local building codes will be enough to derail the project.

As always, as the tone of my blog always urges, I am encouraging you to investigate both sides of the matter for yourself before deciding. Visit Stop Columbia’s Expansion Project to learn more about the opposition to this project.
