Well the media have plenty to talk about these days and who do you believe? It is shocking what is going on with killing and many are suffering. It is easy to get drawn into all the dramas and better if one doesn’t give it much energy. Mainstream outlets certainly don’t report on issues I care about and I do not like the constant repetition or brainwashing techniques used to push a certain agenda on us. So whether we use social networks online or get our ‘news’ elsewhere we have to use discernment. What’s true for one person maybe not for another. We aren’t taught to question everything that’s for sure and look beyond the story and dig a bit deeper!

So with the powers focussing on war and terrorism, it’s quite a distraction from issues of climate and the COP21 talks in Paris. We weren’t holding our breath that the corporate world would come up with solutions that would be good for our environment in any case. Now the agenda is pushing more division and fear into the global population and those that can see this are spreading love and caring for each other, the environment and all creatures that need protection.

 What a wonderful reminder by John Ashton at today’s solidarity event in Scotland – Hands Over Our Forth organised by various local groups, that man is good by nature! We realise that we are the front line in the #WaragainstFracking and all forms of unconventional gas. The facts are quite stark and mind blowing, that the corporate greed of the extractive industries will destroy everything in its path! Now is our time to put a stop to the destruction of our communities and stand together in solidarity for the good of our future.

Global activism sharing skills to protect our environment. Important message from these actions/activists is that non-cooperation with what is wrong and co-operation with what is good are both moral obligations!

I have been involved with the anti-fracking campaign ever since I found out that this industry is bad for us, the land and clean water. 

Thanks go to the ones who have been affected first in North America and Australia who have shared their experience with us. The websites like Frack Off in the UK, the film Gaslands and its sequel made by Josh Fox who decided to visit the people affected and document it. Ian R Crane (Fracking Nightmare on YouTube) has been travelling Britain and Ireland since 2011 holding events to raise awareness, having the experience of being in the oil industry and did his research on hydraulic fracturing or fracking and other unconventional gas extraction methods. Vanessa Vine started BIFF- Britain and Ireland Frack Free has done a lot of media work and sharing of information via social media and was involved with the protection of Balcombe. Tina Louise Rothery who is a writer and has also been prominent in the campaign since Balcombe, is also good with media and was instrumental in setting up the Nanas of Lancashire who occupied a field on Preston New Road in the Fylde last August. I joined this group of Nanas and have enjoyed our activism as we make it fun and are able to share our message in a unique way. 

Since the decision at the end of June by LCC and subsequent government response and appeal by Cuadrilla, the fight continues to make communities aware of the dangers of this industry getting a foothold. The Nanas plan to go on tour and visit the areas which the government have licensed for fracking to engage in a ‘community conversation’ with local groups. 

We support forming community owned renewables schemes such as Whalley Hydro or REPOWERBalcombe with solar and positive ways of living on this planet and welcome sharing the conversation.

It is disgusting that the Tory government are withdrawing subsidies from renewables whilst giving more to the fossil fuels industry to pollute our planet even more!
