URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Conserve public lands and critical wildlife habitats by PROTECTING them from FRACKING! Act now!

Picture this: a clear, quiet morning on sprawling plains. This peaceful scene is home to an iconic bird of the American West, the threatened Greater sage-grouse. But suddenly, there’s a SCREECHING NOISE and the BIRDS SCATTER. The GROUND SHAKES. The air tastes of SULFUR.

These habitats should be a focus of conservation for the Department of Interior. Instead, the DOI is poised to let THOUSANDS OF ACRES be DESTROYED by greedy corporations who want to frack and drill for profit.

Fracking threatens to contaminate water on our public lands that people rely on. In fact, fracking wastewater can contain RADIOACTIVE waste! TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO PROTECT PUBLIC LANDS! Please, Friend, tell the DOI to STOP leasing public lands to greedy oil corporations by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

People exposed to fracking face an increased risk of cardiac problems, birth defects, and other health issues. And the resulting smell of rotten eggs can trigger BLISTERING HEADACHES. 

Our public lands, the people who rely on them, and the wildlife they hold are ALL AT RISK. The DOI is prepared to sacrifice all of it to boost the industry’s bottom line. YOU CAN HELP STOP THIS DESTRUCTION! If 1 of every 6 people reading this email stand up to Big Oil, we can help conserve our public lands. Friend, PROTECT public lands and community health! Add your name by 11:59pm TONIGHT.

Standing with you,
