Support the ballot initiative for a gradual phase out of fracking permits in colorado
Students for Phasing Out Fracking
As students, you hold a crucial role in shaping the future of Colorado. The extraction of oil and gas is a substantial contributor to climate change, posing a significant threat to the world you and future generations will inherit. Despite the oil and gas industry making up a small fraction of Colorado’s economy, it creates a disproportionate environmental and public health impact.
As students, you are in a unique position to advocate for policies that secure a healthier, more sustainable future for yourselves and upcoming generations. This is why your support for a ballot initiative to phase out fracking after 2030 in Colorado is so vital.
