Ban Fracking In Florida: Support SB 166
Progress Florida
We the undersigned urge you to put a stop to the unsafe oil and gas extraction process known as fracking by supporting SB 166, a bill by Sens. Darren Soto and Dwight Bullard that would ban the practice in our state.
There are many environmental and public health concerns linked to fracking. More than 1,000 cases of water contamination have been documented near areas of gas drilling as well as sensory, respiratory, and neurological problems. Gas that is leaked during the fracking process, along with the numerous toxic chemicals that are used, creates air pollution that increases global warming and is a danger to human health.
The last thing Florida needs, with our delicate ecology and vast underground aquifer system, is oil and gas fracking.
We urge you to support SB 166.

Why is this important?
Florida's delicate ecology and vast underground aquifer system are in danger from oil and gas fracking.
We’re at an important moment in the debate over this critical issue: Sens. Darren Soto (D-Orlando) and Dwight Bullard (D-Miami) have introduced SB 166, a statewide ban on this dangerous threat to our water, our environment, and the health of our communities.
Sign the petition urging Florida legislators to support SB 166 and finally remove the threat of fracking from endangering the Florida we love.
