Okay, let me begin by saying that I live in the picturesque town of Prince Albert, in the Karoo. Large oil companies are very interested in my home, because there is said to be a whole lot of shale gas, that can be mined or 'fracked' relatively easily. I don't know much about the whole situation, but I do know that if it becomes a reality, that Karoo will be very negatively affected by it because of the waste that is produced and the strain it will put on our water resources.

| Karoo, currently |
The fracking moratorium was lifted on September the 7th, as in last Friday. The main thing that I am worried about is turning the current splendor of the Karoo into something ugly and infected.

| Please NO! |
A group of people in my hometown have come together with a common goal; to protest the fracking nearby. A meeting will be held soon, and i will update all of you on the groups plans.
Peace and love
