Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Fracking

Is your water flamable? It may be someday!

 

Ask Your Members of Congress to Support the FRAC-Act!

Companies that are threatening our drinking water with hydraulic fracturing can't be held accountable under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and they don't have to disclose the nearly 600 chemicals that they are injecting into the ground. The FRAC Act will fix this.
Sign the petition below to ask your representative to protect your drinking water by passing the FRAC Act (S. 587 and H.R. 1084).



Petition to Congress:
As a constituent, I urge you to support the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act (FRAC Act) of 2011 (H.R. 1084 and S. 587).

It has become clear that hydraulic fracturing can threaten our drinking water, our health, and our livelihoods.

The FRAC Act would lift the exemption from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act granted to hydraulic fracturing in 2005. In addition, it would require oil and gas mining companies to disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations.

In order to protect our drinking water, our farms, and our health from the the dangers that can be brought on by fracking, I urge you to pass the FRAC Act.

Sincerely,
