*Science-based Reports on "Fracking"

The evidence is mounting that the
Extraction of Natural Gas, by Fracking
(and the many related operations)
is NOT Safe - ACT 13 has given the Industry
a License to Drill - anywhere!

CONSTITUTION of the
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
Article I, Section 27

Natural Resources and the Public Estate
The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the
preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values
of the environment. Pennsylvania’s public natural resources
are the common property of all the people, including
generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the
Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the
benefit of all the people.

Questioning the Irresponsible
Industrialization of  PA. Please take action.

1) We think there's an urgent need to educate the public about the significant impacts and risks of large-scale gas drilling in our State.

ACTION:  

a) Call and write your representatives to explain
your concerns about ACT 13 and the need for a
moratorium on gas extraction in our State. 

(You might include in your letter a copy
of the Constitution to remind them of
their  duty or recite it when you call.)

b) Submit OP ED pieces to the media  explaining
your concerns with ACT13
See Congress.org: Media contacts


c) Urge your Township supervisors to join
the court challenge to ACT 13.

2)  We believe that given the substantial evidence that large scale gas extraction is causing unprecedented damage to the environment of our State and the quality of life of the affected communities - and that a moratorium is needed.
