Rejected petition Stop Fracking in the United Kingdom. Invest in sustainable power.

Following on from the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris recently, agreement was reached to reduce global warming. However within days, MPs approved fracking for shale gas 1,200m below national parks and “areas of natural beauty” (AONBs). Please sign to protect our future.

"Shale gas is not the solution to the UK's energy challenges," said Friends of the Earth energy campaigner Tony Bosworth. "We need a 21st century energy revolution based on efficiency and renewables, not more fossil fuels that will add to climate change."
