Thousands of gallons of fracking fluid have spilled following an accident at a natural gas well in Pennsylvania, WNEP reports.

The chemicals used in fracking fluids have been a contentious subject, as many energy companies have long guarded them as a "trade secret." A recent report released by three House Democrats says that millions of gallons of potentially hazardous chemicals and known carcinogens, such as methanol, have been injected into wells across the country by energy companies using the controversial fracking method.

we seriously need to find other ways to live. ways that are in harmony with the earth. i read a book recently, that pointed out how often we talk about our seas, our forests, even our wildlife, our earth, even our universe, as though these things belong to us, whereas the converse is true:-
it is we who,
no more and no less than the seas, forests, and wildlife,
belong to the earth, and the universe.
