Helen Slottje, a New York lawyer, has been awarded this years Goldman Environmental Prize for North America. Slottje has helped to enact fracking bans in 172 communities across New York, and plans to take the California bar exam to continue her work in California. “Fracking is a symptom of a much larger problem in our society, an oligarchy, a complete separation of people making decision and those whose lives they affect,” says Slottje.
