1. Do you think Fracking is safe? What are the environmental and human impacts of Fracking? (you may need to reasearch this questions on other sites)
          -No I do not think that fracking is safe because it can cause damage like minor earthquakes. Yes it helps us grow as an environment and provided a lot of things to us, however it is more harmful than helpful. It can effect humans health enormously in many bad ways. For example, there was a glass of drinking water that had been contaminated with chemicals that are found in fracking. There are also many environmental issues as well. For example, chemicals that are released into the air can get into near by riveres and streams that will kill of fish and wildlife populations.

2. If your neighbor decides to allow for companies to frack on their land do you think you should be notified and or be able to have a say in yes or no that they can frack on their land?
                 Yes I think that it is important that everyone in the are is notified of what is going to happen. It will effect everyone in the area even if you arent right next to the site. This decision might make some people want to move away from the site because of health reasons and risks.

3. Do you think that court cases should be sealed? Do you think that if there is information about negative impacts should that be released to the public?
                     No I dont think that court cases should be sealed because it is important for the public to know exactly what is going on. I think that negative impacts should be releases becuase those are the things that help poeple make final decisions on fracking. It is important to know the negatives because those files contain imformation that the public needs to know.

  1. I agree that you should be notified if your neighbor decides to frack because they will probably not want it occuring right next to them.
