RESPECTED FRIEND: Big News: New York State Has Just Banned Fracking!

Big News: New York State Has Just Banned  Fracking RESPECTED FRIENDs, Yesterday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a ban on fracking in the state. This is a major victory for NRDC Members and activists who have stood alongside us fighting to rein in dangerous fracking that threatens our environment, health and communities. Your voices were heard! NRDC is already working in other states, and this historic decision will help us empower cities and towns to win moratoria on new fracking -- and to put critical protections in place where restrictions on fracking don’t exist. And there’s no better time than the holiday season to receive such a powerful reminder of how much we can achieve when we work together. To see more of the victories you helped NRDC win over the last year, please watch our inspiring video now. Then, make a special year-end donation to help us continue the fight for our environment in 2015.

It’s our way of saying thanks for standing alongside us in defense of our planet’s last wild places and most threatened wildlife. After you watch the video, I hope you’ll make a special year-end donation to help us win more victories for the environment in 2015. Your generous support will give us a head start on waging next year’s frontline campaigns -- from taking on corporate interests hell-bent on industrializing our natural heritage, including Alaska’s irreplaceable Bristol Bay wilderness and the iconic Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to protecting monarch butterflies, elephants, whales and other wildlife and wild places that are under attack. Your tax-deductible gift will enable us to fight on all these fronts and more to defend our environment in the most effective way possible in 2015.Click here to savor this year’s victories and then help us make 2015 even better.
