Demand an End to Fracking, the Mining Method that Contaminates your Drinking Water!
Fracking is a process used to extract natural gas from underground shale, but it has detrimental side effects to the environment.
Some impacts that fracking has on the environment include greenhouse gas emissions, excessive water usage, water contamination, and destruction of land. Fracking emits approximately 1.5 million tonnes of methane gas into the atmosphere in Canada, annually. It uses and contaminates about 20 million litres of water per session(Nelson), which accounted to about 400 billion litres of water in the past decade just in America.
I want to raise awareness for this issue and create a big voice with all of your help, so more attention can be drawn from powerful people towards putting an end to fracking.

The response from our community shows that people are terrified about what is happening to our water supply. I am currently compiling a report to force a direct conversation with the local water board. Send this link to three friends who rely on our local wells and demand they pay attention.

We hit a real turning point in this campaign and I need you to keep up the pressure. Post this link on your Facebook feed right now and email your local representative to demand they address our water safety.
