Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

In March 2013, the Maryland Sierra Club joins fellow environmentalists in rallying against immediate fracking in Maryland.

On Saturday October 11, 2014, I attended a protest in Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament in London, against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), a dangerous new EU-US trade deal, which, if passed, as the organisers of the London event explained, "would grant corporations the power to sue governments, threatening to lock-in the privatisation of our schools and NHS. Rules that protect workers, the environment, food safety, digital rights and privacy would be undermined, with harmful industries like fracking encouraged." This photo is of a protestor campaigning against the monstrosity that is fracking.
The London event was part of a day of action across Europe and the UK, and the events across all the countries were attended by a significant number of people, although only a few hundred people attended the London event, sharing Parliament Square with Kurdish campaigners.
I was delighted to speak to RT's Harry Fear for a televised broadcast, which is available via the link below, and I encourage people to find out more about TTIP via the links below:

Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK. A kitchen sink found at the site made campers talk about a scene in Gasland, the documentary. In the film, a man sets fire to his tap water, showing the impact of gas drilling operations nearby his home, in the US.

Caterpillar V-12 engine powers Halliburton mobile hydraulic fracturing systems. These three are named Michelle, Julie and Cher. Refueling near Oakley, KS, these rigs work the Niobrara shale formation.
In March 2013, the Maryland Sierra Club joins fellow environmentalists in rallying against immediate fracking in Maryland.
We are a coalition of community groups, citizen activists and environmental organizations from across the country who share a common concern over the spread of oil and gas drilling near our neighborhoods. The purpose of this event is to bring together thousands of people from each oil and gas drilling state to a family-friendly rally at the Capitol.
