As the issue of fracking continues to be a hot topic around the world, many individuals and communities are taking proactive steps to protect the environment and their communities. One such step is the use of yard signs with QR codes that provide information and resources about projects in particular areas. A few of our STAR members have found us through signs!
Firstly, it’s important to understand what fracking is and why it’s a cause for concern. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting oil and gas from deep beneath the earth’s surface. The process involves injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure into rock formations, which then fracture and release the gas or oil trapped inside. While fracking has the potential to provide significant amounts of energy, it also poses a number of risks to the environment and human health. These risks include water contamination, air pollution, and the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
In the case of the Aurora Reservoir, fracking poses a significant risk to the local environment and community. The reservoir is a major source of drinking water for the area, and any contamination could have serious health consequences for residents. Additionally, the area around the reservoir is home to a number of important ecosystems and wildlife habitats, which could be damaged or destroyed by fracking operations.
How can a simple sign and QR code help? The QR code can be scanned with a smartphone, which then directs the user to the Save The Aurora Reservoir website. The site then provides more information about the issue and offers ways to take action, like reading this post and asking new members to get a sign as well. This can also include contacting local officials or signing petitions, as well as resources for learning more about the risks associated with the Lowry Ranch project.
By displaying a yard sign with a QR code, members can help raise awareness about the issue and encourage others to get involved in protecting the environment and community around the Aurora Reservoir. The sign serves as a visible symbol of support for the cause, and can also help to spark conversations and engagement with others who may not be aware of the risks of fracking. We have had several members contact us about such conversations.
A yard sign with a QR code, although simple, is an effective way to help fight the Lowry Ranch project near the Aurora Reservoir. By raising awareness about the issue and providing resources for action, individuals can make a meaningful difference in protecting the environment and community from the dangers of this controversial method of energy extraction.
To donate for a sign or shirt please email us at [email protected] and one of our volunteers will be more than happy to assist you. Donations help pay for hosting costs, flyers, and other operational costs to inform the community.
