Your Signature is Needed: We have a BIG fracking problem

It starts with a faint odor. Soon, it grows stronger and stronger. The stench of rotten eggs slithers into your home. Not long after, it becomes nauseating, causing SPLITTING HEADACHES! You go to the kitchen to get a cup of water, expecting your drinking water to be safe. But it smells too, and if you bring over a lighter, you might find that you can LIGHT YOUR OWN TAP WATER ON FIRE! This is what living near FRACKING can do to your life. Unleashed gases snake into neighborhoods and into drinking water, damaging public health and risking fiery accidents. The people facing these challenges don’t choose to live in danger -- corporate polluters often site their dirty projects in communities they don’t think can fight back. But they’re wrong -- and there’s a way you can help! The Department of Interior is poised to lease our public lands to corporate polluters that want to FRACK, MINE, and DRILL AWAY, destroying critical wildlife habitats and putting local communities at risk. These companies have made one thing clear: they prioritize profits over people and the planet. We’re RUNNING OUT OF TIME to tell the Department of Interior to REJECT the lease sale. [Friend, protect people and public lands from GREEDY POLLUTERS. Tell the DOI to STOP the lease sale by 11:59pm TONIGHT!]( [Sign the petition]( It’s not just annoying odors and flammable gases. Fracking wastewater can even contain RADIOACTIVE WASTE! And this wastewater can contaminate the drinking water for local communities. If the DOI allows this lease to move forward, it will be actively endangering communities! Would you want to see fracking in your city, Friend? I know I wouldn’t. That’s why we have to stop the Department of Interior for giving the greenlight to corporate polluters to frack on public lands and near other communities. [Please take just 30 seconds to SEND A MESSAGE TO THE DOI: Keep GREEDY CORPORATIONS off our public lands!]( [Sign the petition]( Standing with you, Nicole Ghio Fossil Fuels Program Manager, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2021, Friends of the Earth.
