In a new ad and speech presented Monday, April 11, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders called for a complete ban on fracking, a controversial process used to extract natural gas.
Environmentalists have long suspected that fracking chemicals could contaminate nearby water supplies. A new academic study confirmed this belief: fracking had a clear, negative impact on drinking water quality in the small town of Pavillion, Wyoming. One family lost some of their farm animals because they drank tainted water.
New York banned fracking in 2015. Now that we have proof of its harmful effect on human and environmental health, it is time to support a nationwide ban. Please sign the petition to support Bernie Sanders in his call to ban fracking!
I am writing to support your call for a complete ban on fracking.
