I saw first-hand just how much fracking destroys the earth

Fracking can definitely have negative impacts on the environment. Here are some of the concerns:

  • Water Contamination: Fracking uses a lot of water, and there's always a risk of contamination. The fracking fluid itself can contain harmful chemicals, and there's also the risk of accidentally releasing brine or other contaminants from underground [1].
  • Air Emissions: The process can release methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. There can also be emissions of other air pollutants [2].
  • Seismic Activity: In some cases, fracking has been linked to increased seismic activity, although the exact connection is still being studied [2].

It's important to note that the fracking industry has also made strides in addressing these environmental concerns. New technologies and regulations are being developed to try to minimize the impact.
