APPEAL to stop fracking gas in Yorkshire!!!

The Issue

Hi everyone, This message is very important ⚠️. Soon our water will be polluted by the fracking process. How serious is it❓You can see the consequences in the Oscar-nominated documentary film "GasLand" by Josh Fox (on YouTube). It shows clearly what impact the production of fracking for gas had on citizens of America where fracking for gas has been permitted and exploited. We should not permit the same catastrophe to happen here as in the USA. Why is fracking not forbidden❓It should be forbidden all around the world. Nobody has the right to destroy what nature has created for millions of years and nobody has the right to damage other people's health. Polluted water means a greater risk of contracting cancer. Our bodies can defend themselves from pollution to some extent but polluted water is a ticking time bomb in our bodies and it is just a matter of time before we become ill. If this cocktail of chemicals needed for fracking gas and oil can break stones then it can break our bones too‼️ Some people say that fracking gas will bring jobs and improve this country's economy. I too think that fracking gas will create more jobs - especially for doctors, nurses and carers because the number of sick people will increase. The average cost for cancer treatment is £ 30 000 and patients can not work for many months (if they survive). Without counting the human suffering, how much will that cost this country's economy❓ Also polluted water will kill worms (they are very important for soil health), insects, butterflies... bees will continue to die. One third of the food we eat would not be available without bees. Did you know that we need to eat 10 apples or tomatoes today to have the same nutrients as in one apple or tomato 50 years ago⁉️ Vitamins and nutrients in fruits and vegetables have been in constant decline ↘️ over the last 50 years. We will eat more and more but our bodies will be starving from the inside because of the lack of minerals and vitamins. Our soils are already impoverished and now they will be "enriched" ↗️ with toxic chemicals by the fracking process. Fracking gas and the millions of £££ made from it, will be dissipated. In 50-100 years not one of us will be on this planet but long after us, polluted water will still surface, flora and fauna will continue to die and more innocent babies will be born disabled. We do not have the right to leave coming generations to inherit polluted water. Clean water and good health are the biggest treasures that we have. If we don't care about them, then we don't care about anything anymore. Without clean water on earth, no life is possible. Fracking is a big poisoned needle being injected into the earth and is the same as injecting a poisoned needle in thousands of people's bodies, if not millions. Everything is connected. Water is always moving and the poison will spread like a cancer in rivers and then in the oceans. When I think about this I am so sad that I could fill all the oceans with my sorrow.  I don't know if in the future when we cook for ourselves or our families or friends, will the water be even more toxic when it has been heated to higher temperatures for cooking. I wonder if in the future, local restaurants will tell the truth to their customers that their recipes have some extra ingredients, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and other carcinogens and toxins. Probably they will say: "Enjoy your meal!" I thought that only in war water was poisoned to kill the enemies. We are not at war. We are not the enemies. Please don't kill us slowly and millions of insects, fishes and small animals quickly. We want peace and love. Please love us with all your heart because we want to live and be healthy. I want to hear birds singing, frogs croaking and insects buzzing. Afterwards it will be just silence. The silence of death. This "after" should never come. If it comes, we will have Chernobyl under our feet. But our tragedy will be not an accident, someone will have chosen to press the red button ⭕️ for all of us. PLEASE sign ✏️ this petition. Maybe we can stop this hand from pressing this red button - before is too late❗️Thank you ♥️.
