STOP fracking with Community College of Philadelphia

Shale gas fracking presents unacceptable dangers and risks to public health, worker safety, the natural environment and quality of life.

At a time that we are experiencing catastrophic weather events related to human-induced climate change, it is short-sighted and foolhardy to do anything to promote fracking, which further contributes to climate change.

We reject the  Community College of Philadelphia's ties to the Marcellus shale gas fracking industry and demand that the college cease its efforts to prepare students for fracking-related work through its  “Energy Training Center.”  We urge the college instead to invest in programs that support sustainability, renewable energy, energy conservation and efficiency technologies.
