Buffalo Rising – Hands Across the Sand was a nationwide event held the last weekend in June to raise awareness of the dangers of off-shore oil drilling. Interestingly, this event was planned before the BP oil spill. Buffalo Rising's Newell Nussbaumer organized the local gathering at the Erie Basin Marina.

Newell joins WBFO's Mark Scott and Christa Glennie Seychew for this week's Roundtable. Click the audio player above to hear it now or use your podcasting software to download it to your computer or iPod.
