Quakers against Fracking January – #NoFaithInFracking

Quaker Meeting for Witness to be held at the gates of Cuadrilla’s fracking site as part of the ‘No faith in fracking’ day of action. ALL WELCOME – open to people of all faiths and none.

“We have faith that we can tackle climate change and build a more sustainable future, but we know this is only possible if fossil fuels remain underground.”

Meeting for Sufferings, February 2017.

Under the 2015 UN Paris climate agreement, the UK committed to cut greenhouse gas emissions in line with a 2°C temperature rise above pre-industrial levels, and to attempt to limit this to 1.5°C. According to climate scientists, to achieve this target, we must keep approximately 80 per cent of known fossil fuel reserves in the ground.

Quakers in Britain call for a ban on all intensive forms of fossil fuel extraction, including fracking, because extracting and burning these fuels is harmful to people and our planet.
