In 2010, HBO released a documentary called “Gasland”. It’s kind of like what “Erin Brockovich” would have been had they told that story as a documentary. At the time, hydrolic fracturing was just starting to become part of the mainstream political consciousness. Which is crazy if you think about it, considering it has been going on in some areas of the country, as we see in “Gasland”, for nearly a decade or longer. 

No matter what you think about this issue, you should be thinking about it. New York state is currently in a battle over whether or not to allow around 40,000 natural gas drills to be built in the state, including drills that would have an effect on our drinking water. Yes, OUR DRINKING WATER. Just think about that for a second. If this doesn’t require our involvement, what does? 

“It’s amazing that what took mother nature millions of years to build can be destroyed in a few hours with a piece of heavy machinery.”
