Your Signature is Needed: 36,000 acres of public lands at risk

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: More than 36,000 acres of public lands in Wyoming could be DESTROYED by greedy companies' fracking operations! [Sign now to help CANCEL the lease sale!]( When fossil fuel corporations shoot high-pressure water into the ground, it cracks the Earth, destabilizes the ground, and sometimes triggers earthquakes. The wastewater from fracking can contain RADIOACTIVE WASTE and contaminate local drinking water. We must protect our precious public lands from fracking disasters, Friend! The Department of Interior has posted yet another lease sale, this time in Wyoming. But the good news is that comments from people like you have already pushed the DOI to defer selling parcels that contained Greater sage-grouse habitat. The DOI is listening to comments – help us submit even more and CANCEL this lease sale for good! [Please, Friend, take just 30 seconds to tell the DOI to PROTECT our public lands in Wyoming from greedy polluters!]( *COMMENT DEADLINE IS OCT 19th – SUBMIT YOURS NOW! [SIGN THE PETITION]( I’m sure you’ve noticed the devastating increase in floods, fires, and storms across the world this past summer. Maybe you even lived in one of the places where we couldn’t go outside because of wildfire smoke. The climate crisis is being accelerated by burning fossil fuels – fracking on our public lands will make that problem even worse. Marine heatwaves are KILLING OFF coral, fish, and other precious marine animals. Horrifying floods are washing away people’s homes, their entire livelihoods. Nearly a quarter of U.S. emissions comes from fossil fuel extraction on public lands. It’s up to us to end it – one lease sale at a time. [Stop greedy companies from bringing fossil fuels from our public lands.
