The CT General Assembly failed for the third time in five years to pass a state-wide fracking waste ban. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that concerned citizens across CT continue to move local ordinances forward, protecting their corner of Creation, property values and public health. 20 CT towns and cities now have local laws banning toxic, radioactive fracking waste and other oil and gas drilling and extraction wastes.
Is your town highlighted on the map? Please join with neighbors to help move your community’s fracking waste ban forward. For more information, please contact Jen Siskind at jsiskind@fwwlocal.org July Fracking Waste Ban Events:
