Details of Erin Brockovich's visit to Dublin to mark National Organic Week
Glenisk is bringing the remarkable Erin Brockovich, subject of the 2000 oscar-winning film, to Dublin for a special event to mark Ireland's National Organic Week (15-21 September 2008). A hugely entertaining speaker and a bona fide straight-talker, Erin will address an audience at UCD's Belfield Campus at 1pm on Saturday, 20 September.
Your chance to meet legendary camapigner Erin Brockovich in Dublin:
Discussing her views on the power of one individual to create lasting change, the importance of truth-telling and transparency in high places, the feminine approach to tackling problems and the future of organic food and the environment, this event will be an unforgettable experience. Erin will also talk about what she calls 'stick-to-it-ive-ness' the attribute which helped drive her famous victory for the residents of Hinkley, California.
She began an investigation which eventually established that the people of Hinkely had been exposed to 
toxic Chromium 6 for three decades as a result of a leak into the groundwater from the nearby Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Compressor Station. In 1996, following the biggest lawsuit of its kind, the utility company paid the largest toxic tort injury settlement in U.S. history: $333 million in damages to more than 600 Hinkley residents.
Tickets for the event, which is open to the public, cost €27.65 and are available at Ticketmaster outlets, from www.ticketmaster.ie or by telephoning 0818 719300.
Details: Saturday, 20 September 2008, 1pm, UCD, Belfield, Dublin 4.
Proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to GM Free Ireland.
