Will you email Rep. Joseph R. Pitts, asking him to support a bill to ban fracking on public lands?

This map shows exactly what’s at stake if we don’t act now.

• The yellow spots indicate federal lands — public lands that are essentially for you, me and everyone else, including national forests, hiking and biking trails, hunting, fishing and gathering locations, and more.
• The red spots are areas where industry is fracking for oil and gas, or could be fracking for it soon.
• The blue pins are just a few of the national forests and other public lands that are threatened by fracking.

“We’re often told that we’ll never be able to ban fracking. After all, who can stop the oil and gas industry? But after years of our persistent emails, phone calls, letters, meetings, rallies and movement building, New York banned fracking in December, and, to date, more than 450 communities across the country have passed measures against fracking. The fight will continue, and we hope you’ll stay with us until fracking no long poses a threat to our drinking water, communities and precious public places.” – (SOURCE: FoodandWaterWatch.org)
