A MESSAGE FOR YOU
It seems like there is no limit to the schemes the fossil fuel industry comes up with to grow their industry. It's driving the climate crisis, the greatest threat to our food and water. Twelve years ago Food & Water Watch sounded the alarm about the growing threat of fracking, becoming the first national organization to call for a ban on this dangerous practice. Like fracking, carbon capture is the latest industry ploy to continue burning fossil fuels while claiming to reduce carbon pollution in the name of climate action. But carbon capture will not resolve global warming. As this issue of Livable Future NOW details, carbon capture will keep fossil fuel power plants running, furthering the climate crisis. In the process, it will impact our water, destroy produc- tive agricultural land, and pose a great public health and safety threat. Because of you, Food & Water Watch is working in communities across the country against this practice, mobilizing people and standing with local partners. Thank you for fighting against this latest threat to our food, water, and climate.
