>> This weekend, 150 volunteers and dignitaries, held a kickoff event in Alameda Park to start the process of gathering the necessary 13,200 registered county voters to qualify “The Healthy Air and Water Initiative to Ban Fracking” for the November ballot. The initiative prohibits land uses related to fracking, cyclic steam injection and other high-intensity petroleum operations.
>> 
>> "We know that a majority of North and South County voters favor this ban, but we have been amazed by the level of support and enthusiasm. Hundreds of people have volunteered to help us gather signatures,” said Rebecca Claassen of Santa Barbara County Water Guardians. “We have volunteers who are ranchers and farmers who have been directly impacted by these dangerous techniques. We just can’t risk polluting our air and water from thousands of unconventional wells. It’s not right.”
>> 
>> The initiative will protect the health and environment of Santa Barbara County by amending the Santa Barbara County Comprehensive Plan and related codes to prohibit the use of any land within the County’s unincorporated area for fracking and other high-intensity petroleum operations. For more information about the initiative, call Katie Davis, 805-451-4574. To help with the cause, click here. -
