The Guilford Board of Selectmen need to hear from Guilford residents to support an ordinance to ban fracking waste.
Email a polite note in support of this ordinance. A sentence or two in your own words is sufficient. Here are a few talking points:
- I support a local ordinance to ban fracking waste and all by products in Guilford.
- Contamination from toxic and radioactive wastes have occurred in other states, leaving a legacy of unusable land and poisoned wells.
- Guilford can not afford exorbitant costs of remediation when inevitable spills and accidents occur.
- Recent studies conclude toxins found in these wastes are highly carcinogenic.
- The ban on fracking waste is necessary to protect our property values in Guilford
- The ban on fracking waste will protect public health in Guilford.
- The State has failed to pass a ban on fracking waste three times. Language in the current SB 103 is too weak to protect our State and towns, and has many loopholes that render it ineffective.
