Protect Our Parks
My wife and I joined the first generation of fractivists in 2010, when we presented Fracking 101 programs in libraries and fire halls. Since then, I’ve had the chance to give volunteer technical support to many of the grassroots groups that have sprung up over those years. Almost 10 years ago, Protect Our Parks was formed to stand against the leasing of Allegheny County’s public parks for fracking. In 2022, Council passed a legislative ban, overriding a the veto of a pro-fracking Executive.
Fossil fuels are harming our people, economy and our planet in many different ways!
From the millions of lives lost each year to the billions of dollar it cost us to deal with the climate-related disasters worsened by fossil fuel emissions, we are losing more than gaining from the fossil fuel industries. There are better options and more jobs investing in a just transition than continuing to harm our livelihoods. #NoMoreFossilFuels
