Fracking pollutes our land and air with toxic chemicals (At least 500). Millions of gallons of precious water are used in this process. This water cannot be reclaimed. Toxic water from Pennsylvania is being shipped to Ohio to be "stored". Fracking is known to cause earthquakes. California has the San Andreas fault and other major earthquake faults. Do not open the Pandoras' box in California with fracking! The effects of fracking cannot be undone. Save the quality of your health, our water, our land, and air by saying "NO" unequivocally to fracking.

Fracking—injecting massive amounts of water and toxic chemicals into the ground to reach otherwise inaccessible oil and gas—is an extreme process, with catastrophic results. Fracking threatens our water, our air, our farms, and our health—and contributes to global warming. California is known as an environmentally progressive state and if we allow fracking here, it will set a dangerous precedent. But momentum is on our side. On Monday, three bills that would impose a moratorium on fracking came up for a crucial committee vote in the state legislature—and they passed! We can win this fight. I took the time out my day to start this petition, please take few moments to sign it and stand up for the continued health of our state.

We've seen how bad it is.

Climate change is what I am concerned about.

Enough people have been made sick everywhere fracking operations are in use. It contaminates our clean drinking water, which is also against the law. Prosecute polluters. Prove yourselves useful.

Save our water by banning fracking

I'm writing to urge you to vote against fracking for oil and gas in California. This dangerous method of accessing oil and gas jeapardizes our environment. It does not belong in CA where every drop of water is precious and a state which is highly prone to earthquakes, even without adding fracking. We must protect our ground water and prevent a practice that has been shown to produce earthquakes where there had been no significant ground movement in the past. I fear that fracking in CA could be the trigger for the huge one. Fracking does not belong in California!

I will not be affected personaly but other people will.

Fracturing the earth with water and chemicals hurts the soil, water and air. Moving the resulting tar oil to facilities by use of piping results in leaks and destruction of land and water. Fracturing the earth can also caue earthquakes - how could it not?

The California legislature will soon vote to ban fracking and we need them to act on behalf of all who don't wish to have our aquifers and environment damaged.

Fracking threatens our water, our air, our farms, and our health—and contributes to global warming. Neither the public or the regulatory agencies even know what chemicals the oil companies are pumping into these wells, & what we don't know CAN hurt us!

This message is meant to state that I do not agree with FRACKING and it needs to be stopped for the future health of our children and future generations. If this is not stopped I am convinced that there will be severe health consequences not only for our state but for all other states that consume our produce.
