Fractivism : Corporate Bodies and Chemical Bonds

從易燃的自來水和患病牲畜到最近在俄克拉荷馬州發生數百次地震的美國，影響是深遠而深刻的。在激進主義中Sara Ann Wylie追踪了歷史以及科學家和常人聚集在一起追究責任的行業，這個行業設法規避了監管。從她在科羅拉多州的故事開始，Wylie展示了非營利組織，土地所有者和社區組織者如何創建新穎的數字平台和數據庫，以跟踪非常規油氣井開發和記錄壓裂環境和人體健康影響。

這些平台為學術和基層與政府和化石燃料行業的接觸建立了替代方法。行動號召，不僅僅是一千五百萬美國人，他們生活在一個非常規石油或天然氣井的一英里內，而是整個地球。

From flammable tap water and sick livestock to the recent onset of hundreds of earthquakes in Oklahoma, the impact of fracking in the United States is far-reaching and deeply felt. In Fractivism Sara Ann Wylie traces the history of fracking and the ways scientists and everyday people are coming together to hold accountable an industry that has managed to evade regulation. Beginning her story in Colorado, Wylie shows how nonprofits, landowners, and community organizers are creating novel digital platforms and databases to track unconventional oil and gas well development and document fracking's environmental and human health impacts.

These platforms model alternative approaches for academic and grassroots engagement with the government and the fossil fuel industry. A call to action, Fractivism outlines a way forward for not just the fifteen million Americans who live within a mile of an unconventional oil or gas well, but for the planet as a whole.
