Ban Fracking in Albemarle County VA Now
Petition Text
Tell Albemarle County Supervisors that it is time to ban fracking in Albemarle County, Virginia.
Why is this important?
Governor Cuomo of New York has declared a statewide ban on fracking. Local citizen-led initiatives have helped ban fracking in Mendocino and San Benito counties in California; Athens, Ohio; Mora, New Mexico; and Denton, Texas. Communities across the United States and world are saying NO to this environmentally disastrous method of extracting fossil fuels from the land.
It is time for our County Supervisors to take action and ban fracking in Albemarle County now.
