The risks are real and scientifically documented.
Sierra Club Canada Atlantic Chapter’s Position


                         Nova Scotia should stop handling hydraulic
                         fracturing waste from New Brunswick (and
                         elsewhere).


                          Legislated ban on hydraulic fracturing in
                          all of the Atlantic Provinces.



                          Investment in energy
                          conservation, sustainable transportation
                          options, and community based renewable
                          energy sources moving towards a
                          sustainable
                          healthy economy.
Many Questions,
Few Answers,
& Lots of Discussion
What Can I do?
•Join us! Become part of Sierra Club’s Water Committee

•Form local team to take
part in education,
research, and political
action.

•Take part in provincial
