Friends of the Earth groups mark the second Global Frackdown

Friends of the Earth groups around the world took action to mark the second annual global day of action against fracking, known as the Global Frackdown on Saturday October 19.
The Global Frackdown is part of the Global month of action on energy, which was launched on October 11 and will continue until the vital UN Climate Change Conference which begins in Warsaw on November 11th.
Among the highlights were Friends of the Earth Scotland’s action at the conference of the Scottish National Party, in Perth; a persuasive letter from Friends of the Earth South Africa to President Jacob Zuma, laying out the reasons why South Africa should take action immediately; and dozens of local actions by campaigners and community groups in England Wales and Northern Ireland.
