A Great New Anti-Fracking Initiative

by Philip Carr-Gomm

Right now, the government has earmarked nearly two-thirds of England for possible fracking, without fully understanding what effects it is likely to have on our health or the countryside.

What we do know is that if we want to tackle climate change, we can’t be digging new fossil fuels out of the ground.[1]

Fracking involves horizontal drilling that can extend two miles from the actual drill site, passing directly under the homes of those nearby.

Despite the government’s enthusiastic dash for gas, we have the power to make fracking very difficult, and may even be able to halt exploration in its tracks, if enough of us come together.

This is how it works: if you don’t want fracking companies pumping toxic chemicals under your home, you can say so. Then, any drilling there becomes trespassing; the frackers would be breaking the law.


But we need to act quickly, as there are hints that the government will try to change the law to support their dash for gas. [2]

Look up your postcode to find out if you could be fracked and join the legal block now.
