About Us
The Binghamton Regional Sustainability Coalition (BRSC) was formed in mid-2008 following a series of community forums on sustainability and a community visioning session. Hosting monthly meetings and frequent educational forums, BRSC currently connects with many local organizations and with approximately 1500 individuals through its events, list serves and Facebook.
BRSC has established itself as a resource for information about gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale and the potential impacts on our community’s environment, economy, and health and its members continue to provide valuable contributions in this area.
