What are you waiting for?
This call to action is not just for New Yorkers but for everyone.
Our country's waterways are in peril and there isn't much time left.
Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is drilling for gas.
In order to accomplish that, hundreds and hundreds of secret, carcinogen and toxic chemicals need to be used along with millions of gallons of water.
The byproduct is this toxic and deadly cocktail of contaminated water called "Produced Water" that gets dumped into ponds or injected back into the ground. Then, they use sprayers to help evaporate this water and make it vanish into thin air.
An other byproduct is the constant release of VOCs in the air that produce ozone.
Within days, all of it comes back into our fresh water supply killing aquatic life and anything that comes into contact. It finds its way into the kitchen sink, crops and into your PLATE.
Stand up now:

Which is more harmful to health and the environment? Mountaintop removal strip mining, or natural gas drilling?

I hate how this is number 20 when it should surpass some of the top articles for today.

New york is dangerous enough without pumping explosive water into it.
