In September, EO earned a valuable source of support for its work on natural gas development in the U.S. in the form of a $25,000 grant from responsible energy retailer Viridian Energy. As a recipient of Viridian's Simply Right Natural Gas Fund, EO is honored to join a group of organizations dedicated to clear and pragmatic approaches to improving social and environmental practices in natural gas development.
In this video interview with Viridian, EO's Director of Shale Programs Josh Garrett explains how the grant is being used to expand and improve community consultation efforts aimed at finalizing the EO100 Standard for Shale Oil and Gas and discusses where EO fits into the big picture of natural gas, energy consumers' choices, and the fight to curb climate change.
