a bad vote for our communities

Let your elected officials know what you think of their vote to take your town's rights away!

State legislators passed a new law (HB 1950) that completely rewrites the rules in Pennsylvania for companies drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale. 

Time for EPA to protect our health!

in the absence of strong state policy the EPA must step in to protect our health.

Natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale produces wastewater that is very salty and polluted with toxins like barium, benzene, and strontium. Most facilities in Pennsylvania are not equipped to properly treat this wastewater and usually just dilute it before dumping it into our rivers and streams.  Some do no treatment at all. Ask the EPA to step in!
