What is fracking? It’s not the latest teenage slang word; it
describes a mining process that is polluting our earth and
making people sick. Food & Water Watch explains: To frack an oil
or gas well, a massive volume of water, sand, and chemicals is
injected underground at high pressure to break up rock
formations, allowing oil or gas to flow up the well. Fracking
threatens the air we breathe, the water we drink, the
communities we love, and the climate on which we depend. Mothers
are rallying against this horrible practice! In fact, they are
outraged the practice is considered for use around schools, let
alone their homes. Food & Water Watch explains and asks you to
take action! Mothers in the community of Erie, Colorado, are
working desperately to stop a giant oil and gas company from
fracking next to their kids’ elementary school. They’ve asked
Encana, a giant oil and gas company, to abandon this one well
and protect their children, but the company refuses. Fracking is
associated with increased truck traffic
