THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN THE YUKON
Dawn K.
started this petition to
Yukoners concerned about oil and gas exploration
MINISTER OF ENERGY, MINES AND RESOURCES, BRAD CATHERS ANNOUNCE UNEXPECTEDLY TODAY, THAT OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION RIGHTS WILL NOT BE ISSUED IN ANY OF THE 12 AREAS OF THE WHITEHORSE TROUGH AS REQUESTED FOR POSTING IN JANUARY 2012. THE OIL AND GAS DISPOSITION IS NOW CONCLUDED...YUKON LIVES ON, NOW WE NEED TO STOP FRACKING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. OUR WATER IS OUR LIFE
The Yukon Conservative Government is going to allow big oil companies to explore for oil and gas using a method known as Fracking.
I live in the land of the midnight sun, the home of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, the Peel Water Shed and a huge natural water resource. This is the True North Strong and Free, until Exxon gets here.This is the Yukon Territory in Northern Canada.
Fracking is a method of Fracturing the earth for oil and gas extraction through bore holes. Millions of litres of water are used under extreme pressure in combination with a toxic cocktail of chemicals and forcibly injected into the bore holes and into veins of the World. Once the toxins are released how can they be contained? A degenerative word that is being used to describe our beautiful Lake Laberge, Marsh and Tagish Lakes and the Majestic and Mighty Yukon River is the trough. The "trough" somehow makes it less personable to the members of Harpers Gang, the current Conservative Government that we have in power in the Yukon Territory. Where is the wisdom in our leadership? We cannot eat or drink money. This trough is where they mean to fracture our world. This historic and most beautiful water shed that has been used for centuries as a life line to all peoples is where our government is allowing this desecration.
When the two headed fish appear it will be too late, the poison will be inherent. How on earth could we clean up a mess that is located in the very heart and bloodlines of our home? We have contaminated earths surface, now we dig our sharp spears into her soul. Where will the poisoned water re- appear?
We are the source of the cool clear waters that tinkle over glaciers, we are the place that all of you believe will be your reserve when the governments have allowed this rape to contaminate your drinking water. In north America, it is happening as we speak, fracking is polluting wells and rivers and lakes as I write, we can stop it. We have to stop it. No water, no life...
We desperately need your help, please help us to save this last frontier, this last natural source of life itself, please help us to save your water.
They have not started tracking yet, the momentum for rejection has begun. We can stop this ravage with Avaaz.
Thank you
