How natural gas drilling affects our fresh water

I saw the full length hour and half documenary, and it's simply a real shame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZe1A...ayer_embedded#!

I have Gasland, I need to sit down and watch it. It's supposed to be hated by the Government or something.

The government and the oil industry. Could be pure crap, but if it has any validity, I think folks should be concerned about it. Water pollution is certainly nothing to take lightly.

Water is one of our most important resourses we have. We all can take part in protecting it, like recycle everything you can, don't throw it in the holler or dig a hole and cover it up, or pour it on the ground, it leatches into the ground and into our water, keep the back of our pick ups free of trash that blows out down the HWY and eventully ends up in or water resviours. Recycling is a great way to protect the ground water. If we have a option of buying a product that is packeged in recycle material we will buy that product over that packaged with styrofoam. Styrofoam BAD.

I have neighbor that has trash fly out of his truck on the way home and litters up the road leading to my place. He's got a beer window, so I'm pretty sure he's just throwing all his trash in the back while he hauling down the dirt rode. I don't know him well enough o say anything, yet, but you know what they say, good fences make good neighbors.
