Hydraulic Fracturing: Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is a well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources including oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing involves the pressurized injection of a mixture of water‚ chemicals‚ and sand in underground formations to allow natural gas and oil to flow more freely from rock pores to the surface. (Watershed Council p.1) A modification of this technique‚ called slickwater fracking‚ was used in Texas in 1998 to drill for natural

situations‚ the groundwater lies from zero to one thousand feet deep‚ while the natural gas bearing formation lies at several thousand feet. In the case of the Marcellus Shale the gas is not that far in the ground‚ so to extract the gas the people fracking will be in danger of contaminating the groundwater. In New York the issue has raised particular concern because part of the Marcellus Shale lies underneath the city’s drinking water supply‚ not to mention the contiguous forests of the Catskill Mountains

formaldehyde; ethylene glycol; glycol ethers; hydrochloric acid; and sodium hydroxide. Very small quantities of some fracking chemicals are capable of contaminating millions of gallons of our public water resources. If you consider these chemicals and how little of them it takes to contaminate the water supply‚ it is scary to think that 40 trillions gallons of water is used to drill at these fracking sites and are improperly being released back into the

drills can hit water sources and contaminate our water. Between hitting water sources and releasing greenhouse gasses‚ the process of hydraulic fracturing can be and often is harmful to both our environment and health. In addition‚ human exposure to fracking chemicals can occur by absorbing chemicals that have spilled and entered drinking water sources‚ through direct skin contact with the chemicals.

Paulina Reyes Reading 158 Prof Goodrich Global Warming In the article How We Can Stop Being Eco-Hypocrites Raina Kelley talks about five different things that we can individually do to help out our planet. The first example is by getting rid of trash. Kelley shows us how San Francisco is vowing to go waste free by 2020 by setting up a recycling program throughout their communities. A second way we can save our planet is by putting an end to driving. We produce a large amount of carbon dioxide

Plato was born 428 BC in Athens with an eminent family name on his mothers and fathers side. Few records are know about Plato’s childhood; however‚ it is known that he began following and learning from Socrates early in his life. Plato also had an interest in a career in politics after being influenced by his uncle Critias who strongly partook in the downfall of certain democratic governments and the upbringing of an oligarchy controlled by 30 individuals. Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stageira

when it comes down to natural gas drilling. All of these can be devastating to the people who live in the area as them even if they take protective matters you will still be affected no matter what. Your body rejects the chemicals used in hydraulic fracking. Symptoms of your body being affected are similar to allergies which makes it hard to diagnose.
