Length: 30:06

Actor Mark Ruffalo and his wife Sunrise join Trailer Talk (for the first time) in Bethel, N.Y. to speak about protecting the Catskills and stopping un-safe Natural Gas Drilling. Mark supported Democrat Senate Candidate, David Sager who strongly opposed natural gas drilling and who challenged (and lost) to Republican incumbent John Bonacic for the 42nd District seat in the New York State Senate. Mark joins members of his community in the Sullivan County Catskills in the fight to stop Fracking and un-safe Natural Gas Drilling from destroying all that he and his family value about their home in upstate, N.Y. including the farmland, the rural community, neighborhood, fresh water and clean air. Sabrina and Mark also talk about the role of the artist and how his acting connects to the action he is taking. I also had the pleasure of being joined by Victoria Lesser from North Branch, N.Y. who has shares her thoughts about drilling. She is the proprietor of the Old North Branch Inn and has been in involved in the revitalization of her tiny hamlet. Please keep posted for another Trailer Talk kitchen table conversation with Mark in Beaverkill, N.Y. from July 31, 2010.
