Support the ballot initiative for a gradual phase out of fracking permits in colorado
Retirees for Phasing Out Fracking
As retirees, you have a significant role in shaping the future of Colorado’s community. The extraction of oil and gas is a major contributor to climate change, posing a considerable threat to the world our children and grandchildren will inherit. Despite the oil and gas industry constituting a small part of Colorado’s economy, it produces a disproportionate environmental and public health footprint.
As retirees, you are in a unique position to advocate for policies that ensure a healthier, sustainable future for our younger generations. This is why your support for a ballot initiative to phase out fracking after 2030 in Colorado is so important.

“From catastrophic hurricanes pummeling coastal regions, wildfires consuming millions of acres, flash-flooding, to food & water shortages across the globe, climate change/global warming IS happening NOW. We MUST act swiftly, decisively, w/diligent purpose IF we are to have a future.”
Christine Lincoln
Retiree & Member of GreenFaith Boulder
“Yesterday our local paper printed a front page article reporting on the recent National Climate Assessment. The title of the article was a quote from the Assessment “A Very Dangerous Future.” We know the source of the climate crisis. We know what to do about it. If our government and other world leaders are not taking the required actions, we, as citizens, must come together to do so. I am in full support of the Safe and Healthy Colorado Ballot Initiative because it provides a means to this end. “

“The noxious ozone that comes from fracking shortens the lives of people who live along the front range and in Weld County. It is done at great cost. Yet the economic power of the frackers is that they spend millions to convince people that “fracking is not a dirty word.” What drivel. Fracking kills. And the products of fracking are going to lose their markets. We want them to phase away so that the cleaner world can exist without them.”
