Acqua e Aria da fracking
Erano 800 un anno fa.
Adesso sono 6000.
In Italia si e' giustamente preoccupati per le conseguenze di trivelle e fracking sulla stabilita' del sottosuolo, sui terremoti. Ma come detto tante volte, ci sono altri effetti di fracking e trivelle molto piu' quotidiani dei terremoti e si chiamano acqua inquinata, aria malsana e malattie a persone ed animali.
Il gruppo "Pennsylvania Alliance for Clean Water and Air" ha allora messo su una lista che si chiama "List of the Harmed" dove ciascuna famiglia puo' raccontare in poche righe quel che gli e' capitato e allegare eventuali link di stampa locale che documenta cio' che dicono.
Pare un bollettino di guerra.
Finora ci sono 800 di segnalazione volontaria. Ecco un po di esempi:

I live in Cleburne County, Arkansas.They have been fracking all over this county for a few years now..our wells have either run dry or gone bad. Animals have gotten sick… I lost a horse when they began fracking on the property that I have them on. I forced them to fence off the water pit they put in. They are ruining what was once one of the prettiest areas of the Ozarks and they want to frack under our lake here… where we get all of our drinking water from.This is a nightmare. I was the only one who stood up against them when they came into our county. Now, everyone wants them gone. Nightmare!! We had the best drinking water in the whole country at one time… not now.
Vivo a Cleburne County, Arkansas. Stanno facendo fracking in tutta la contea per anni ... tutti i nostri pozzi sono andati a secco o male. Gli animali si sono ammalati. Il mio cavallo e' morto quando hanno iniziato a fare fracking sul mio terreno. Gli ho fatto mettere un recinto attorno alla pozza di acqua di risulta che hanno creato. Stanno rovinando una delle zone piu belle dell'Ozarks e vogliono anche fare fracking attorno al nostro lago, da dove arriva tutta la nostra acqua potabile. Questo e' un incubo. Io sono stata l'unica persona a dire no quando sono arrivati nella nostra contea. Ora tutti vogliono che se ne vadano. E' un incubo. Avevamo l'acqua migliore del paese un tempo, ora non piu'.
La lista continua ed e' qui.
Grazie Francoise per la segnalazione
