the last several decades has evolved from protecting woodland areas from deforestation to protection against the gas industry. Hydraulic fracturing is the process by which natural gas is extracted from the earth’s shales. The process begins with drilling through several layers of the earth‚ like the freshwater aquifer. Next‚ water with “fracking fluid” is injected into the drilled area to crack the shale. This water comes back up to the surface and is put into a pit to evaporate. The natural gas
