To protest the expansion of the Iroquois pipeline, several dozen activists with Food and Water Watch kayak across the river from the Athens Riverfront Park to the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse to highlight where the pipeline crosses. The expansion includes doubling the compressors in Athens and Dover. Dr. Joshua Lipsman, a member of the Athens’ Board of Trustees, discusses the public health and climate concerns about the project with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine
