Our clean water supply is threatened. In the U.S., we’re drilling around 2,000 new oil and gas wells per month. 90% of these new wells use fracking. To get the natural gas out of the ground, fracking requires 3-15 million gallons of water plus a lot of chemicals. Rarely do we know what these chemicals are: the oil and gas industry is exempt from the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Superfund law. This Tumblr blog is for everyone out there who is concerned about fracking. Our communities are important. Our water, our land, our families, they are important. Together, we can spread the message that no industry should be able to “frack” with the earth like this.
