Gas Wells Are Not Our Friends

In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

Are we the problem?

I am pessimistic about the human race because it is too ingenious for its own good. Our approach to nature is to beat it into submission. We would stand a better chance of survival if we accommodated ourselves to this planet and viewed it appreciatively instead of skeptically and dictatorially.

Food for Thought

"And by reason of their boundless pride. . .there shall be nothing remaining on the earth or under the earth or in the waters that shall not be pursued and molested or destroyed."

Leonardo da Vinci


"We are the most dangerous species of life on the planet, and every other species, even the earth itself, has cause to fear our power to exterminate. But we are also the only species which, when it chooses to do so, will go to great effort to save what it might destroy."

- Wallace Stegner, renowned western writer and conservationist

"In every decision we must consider the impact on the seventh generation."

A principle of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Nation
