Today’s Action: It’s time to ban all fracking!
A new report combining the findings of over 2,000 studies was released at the end of April, outlining the "dire impacts on public health and the climate" incurred by fracking. Environment and health program director at Physicians for Social Responsibility, Barbara Gottlieb, said "Now there is clear and overwhelming scientific evidence showing that fracking makes people sick, degrades the environment, and imperils the climate… From a public health perspective and a climate perspective, stopping fracking is imperative."
President Biden is undoing much of Trump’s anti-science climate policies, but there’s a big move Biden has thus far shied away from, which former presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders — and even now Vice President Harris — support: a unilateral ban on fracking. Now that UK officials are reconsidering the effects of fracking, the position of the US is absolutely critical to securing an environmentally sound future for all.
Call or email your members of Congress and demand they introduce and pass legislation banning fracking on ALL US lands — public AND private!
Fracking is a type of drilling that involves splitting rock deep underground by blasting it with high-pressure, chemically laced liquid and sand. It contaminates community drinking water, drains natural water resources to the point of wilted landscapes and frequent forest fires, increases the occurrence of earthquakes, and elevates methane emissions…
...and methane in our atmosphere traps heat at 84 times the rate of CO2. The spike in US fracking in recent years is having a devastating, negative effect on the planet. Banning fracking is an absolutely essential step in overcoming our rapid slip into point-of-no-return climate-change damage.
There’s a LOT of big money backing fracking, but we’ve overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles before and must do it again now. Our planet literally is depending on it.
Email or call (202.224.3121) your members of Congress and tell them a blanket ban on fracking is essential to curbing catastrophic climate change. Demand they introduce and pass legislation without delay!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition calling on Congress to pass a stock buyback tax on greedy oil companies, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
