This weekend, I went with dothemountain to visit with some people I had talked to on the phone.
I can write lovely and accurate articles about their problems–and I will in the coming weeks–, but there’s nothing like seeing these people and places and SMELLING the air there, that bring the pain and the scope of the problem into perspective.
To share some of their stories, we are collaborating on a photo blog called “The Faces of Frackland.” Everyday, we’ll show you the picture of someone whose life has been impacted by gas drilling.
We want to show you the farmers, activists, fishers, hunters, environmentalists, organizers, landowners with split estates or never-ending leases, neighbors, family, pets and animals, outdoor people, people who are sick, and other citizens like you who care what happens to our air, water, and land.
