"The Christchurch City Council has declared their city a ‘fracking-free zone’ in a unanimous vote this afternoon. “It is a very strong sign from the Council that we do not want fracking taking place in this city. “We hope that the strong stand we are taking is picked up by councils in other areas,” he says."

--Let us all hope that this strong stand will be picked up by local and national governments everywhere. It is time to flood our representatives everywhere and demand a complete ban on fracking. -- Jonathan Barnes, Supervising Editor
