Don’t let the American Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) gas corporation ads tell New Yorkers fracking is great and safe in that clean white world they depict on TV.

The majority of people in New York will not make millions on fracking. In fact their lives and health will be worse, while those who profit from the industry will move far away – because who wants to live in a polluted place? Will you be able to afford to move away from…
- Polluted air that will increase asthma and chronic lung diseases
- Noise and light pollution
- Radioactive gas coming into our homes. There is no safe level of radioactivity.
- Contaminated toxic flowback seeping into our drinking water
- Pure fresh water drained creeks, rivers, and lakes
- Toxic waste flowback that has no way to EVER be cleaned
- Toxic waste left in pipes made of steel and concrete FOREVER? that will surely leak
- A house that has lost its value
