Farmer Jeremy Carlisle’s Dairy Cows, October 4, 2012
On January 22, Chefs for the Marcellus, in concert with Food & Water Watch will deliver a letter signed by more than 150 of New York State’s top chefs, including Mario Batali (Babbo), Michael Anthony (Gramercy Tavern) and Mary Cleaver (Cleaver & Co.), to Governor Andrew Cuomo, urging him to ban hydrofracking for natural gas in New York State. In a press release sent to the media, Chef Bill Telepan said: “The success of my restaurant and so many others depends on clean, healthy, safe ingredients in the dishes we serve. If I can’t trust the quality of the food I’m purchasing from upstate farmers and food producers, I’ll have to look elsewhere for those products. Upstate agriculture will pay the price if fracking comes to New York. ” READ FULL PRESS RELEASE
So do all these chefs cook with wood burning stoves? Watch Fracknation. Stop being lied to by people who don’t know what they are talking about.
Fracking is a horrible legacy to leave our children and all who will suffer the consequences. There are so many harmful chemicals that will creep into our water supply. It will be years before we see all the damage. Please do the right thing, do NOT allow fracking. Thank you.
Please do the right thing. There’s only one way to go: no fracking. Shouldn’t even be debatable. Just say no. Protect the environment, the water, the food, and the people, especially our children and their future. Don’t cave to greed and special interests.
i want to be able to eat safe food not riddled with fracking fluids and other stuff. We need clean air, pure clean water to exist. Without clean water to drink we will perish. Fresh water is becoming a commodity. There are droughts all over the midwest, and farmers are having to fight the gas companies to water their crops. Think before you leap. The consequences will be devastating and can’t be undone. We need to leave behind a legacy of a clean healthy pure planet for our children not a devastated junk pile of pollution and gas filled creeks. Fish and wildlife need clean water as we do to live. So Please governor cuomo do the right thing as say no to fracking before it’s to late. Thank you.
Do the right thing!
