The holidays should be a time for family and tradition—but the noise, pollution, and health threat of fracking may spoil Gary Baumgardner’s plans. His 9-month old granddaughter has been ordered by doctors to stay away from the home while the drilling rigs are operating. [1]
In a perfect world, fracking should be ceased every day and Gary and his family should never have to breath the toxic air, put up with the disruptive noise, or fear for their health because of this unwanted neighbor.
But surely every family deserves a quiet day together to uphold tradition for the holidays. Sadly, EQT refuses to shutdown their operation for just one day so a family can continue its Christmas tradition together.
