Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon are continuing their campaign against fracking (the natural-gas drilling technology hydraulic fracturing), and the air pollution and water contamination that have alarmed some residents since the practice took off several years ago. Mother and son are travelling around communities in New York and Pennsylvania to draw attention to the cause, and even went to New York’s state capital, Albany.
Last year, Sean started a website and campaign called Artists Against Fracking, drawing signatures from Paul McCartney, as well as writer George Saunders, Martha Stewart, MGMT, Beck, Jimmy Fallon and others. Actress Susan Sarandon has joined Sean and Yoko on their travels.
