A shocking new realization has occurred when our House of Representatives has passed a bill that could allow fracking and mining in our national parks.

Specifically, the Protecting American Energy Production Act prevents any future administrations from placing bans on oil or gas without congressional approval. This is to be voted on in the coming months. This will be largely at the detriment of our national forests/parks and their ecosystems. Mining for oil has historically destroyed natural habitats while lining the pockets of the wealthy few. Please sign this petition right away to safeguard national interests, regardless of your political affiliation. If this bill passes, our children and their children won’t be able to experience the national parks that we cherish.
