According to the group’s press release, more than 1,000 people had signed the online petition (which is still open for signatures at: www.change.org/petitions/warwick-ban-fracking-now).
Sustainable Warwick also planned to present to town officials letters of support for new regulations signed by dozens of local business owners and realtors, specifying concerns about Warwick’s business interests.
Sustainable Warwick initiated the petition to show that there is public support to protect Warwick from this industrial process and vast quantities of liquid and solid wastes which are generated and must be disposed of.
