A few weeks ago I wrote on here about our current campaign calling on the UK Government to exclude protected areas, national parks and other special places from the upcoming licensing round for fracking for shale gas. The consultation has now closed but the Government, or more specifically the Department for Energy and Climate Change, will be reviewing the responses over the next few months and deciding on how to take their licensing plans forward. This will include deciding on where to licence for fracking next.
To help keep up the moment please take part in our online action to email Ed Davey, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. We have prepared a template email for you but please do feel free to personalise it to give it more impact, and do tell the Government about the special places that you love, and why.
Email the Government today and ask them to keep our natural treasures safe from fracking.
We've had a brilliant response already, but the more people who speak out for our wildlife, countryside and climate the greater chance we have of encouraging the Government to take a more cautious approach to fracking.
Thanks, as always, for your fantastic support.
