"Morality cannot be legislated but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless." –Martin Luther King, Jr.
FACTOID
According to a recent study, conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), just one drilling site deploys harmful chemicals sufficient "to contaminate more than 100 billion gallons of drinking water to unsafe levels ... more than 10 times as much water as the entire state of New York uses in a single day."

SIGN THE PETITION TO STOP DRILLING IN OUR NATIONAL PARKS!
Target: National Parks Service
The National Park Service has a major opportunity to close a set of thirty-year-old loopholes, which currently exempt more than half of all oil and gas wells from regulation.
This opportunity is especially urgent now that a huge natural gas boom has been found on the Marcellus Shale in the northeast, which could threaten dozens of units of the national park system if the Service does not act.
These parks include iconic landscapes, like the Gettysburg battlefield, the Flight 93 national memorial, the Delaware Water Gap, and the Appalachian Trail. By modernizing its regulations now, the Service can best protect the units of the national park system by setting the gold standard for oil and gas regulation.
PENNSYLVANIANS! SIGN THE PETITION AGAINST GAS DRILLING NOW!
To: Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Senate
We the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania call for a complete moratorium of all natural gas and oil drilling activities, including exploration, until a time when the processes involved do not affect the environment (including land, air and water) and the health of the population in any negative manner what so ever.
Sincerely,
Sign the Coalition Letter Requesting Gov. Paterson to withdraw the DEC's dSGEIS for Oil & Gas Mining
SIGN THE PETITION TO BAN NAT GAS DRILLING IN NEW YORK STATE!
You don't have to be a New Yorker...
