NO FRACKING IN FLORIDA

Preparations are underway to start fracking outside of Naples, Florida on a parcel that extends all the way from Fort Myers to Miami and intersects the Everglades. Fracking poses enormous dangers to our food and water supply, air quality, and soil, and therefore to human health and welfare. It involves known carcinogens and neurotoxins and does irreparable damage. It poisons wildlife. It uses massive amounts of water and accelerates global warming. The wastewater injection it typically involves has precipitated earthquakes. We urge you to put an immediate stop to fracking and fracking-related activities throughout the state.Fracking could begin any day in Florida, and in some of its most precious ecosystems, including the Everglades. It could rapidly do irreparable damage to Florida's environment and economy--its tourism, citrus, coral reefs, etc.
