STOP FRACKING IN CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT: 11,000+ acres of Wyoming public lands are about to be leased to the highest fossil fuel bidder. Tell the Department of Interior it CANCEL the sale before the November 15th comment deadline!

Picture this: the iconic fluffy tail feathers of the Greater sage-grouse, an iconic bird of the American west. It struts across the peaceful morning plains, until – it’s interrupted by the screech of metal! The ground shakes! The poor birds scatter in fear! This is the result of fracking in public lands. 

The Department of Interior is poised to lease public lands in Wyoming – and every single one of the parcels are in sage-grouse habitat! Your comment to cancel this lease sale will help SAVE wildlife and protect the nearby communities that fracking would pollute. Sign the petition to STOP selling more than 11,000 acres of Wyoming public lands to greedy fossil fuel companies!

*Your Signature is Missing, Friend*

Wyoming communities near these public lands could face increased pollution if the sale moves forward. In fact, fracking wastewater can contaminate local waterways and drinking water, including with radioactive materials!

That’s not all. Fracking is even known to trigger earthquakes! The process involves blasting high-pressure water and sand into the ground which creates cracks and destabilizes the Earth. Our public lands are full of stunning beauty – fracking could destroy it! Please, Friend, will you help STOP fracking from greedy polluters on our public lands?
