I am passionate about the CSG "fracking" issue in Australia and work hard to spread information about this environmentally destructive form of mining and what it does to the aquifer, peoples health and communities. I research and post articles on social media sites with the aim of helping the anti-CSG movement gain followers and to disseminate information and make it available to the community about the environmental dangers, the chemicals used, the divisive effects on communities, health effects and political issues. I also support Byron Vision - a local community based group who works to preserve the quality of life in the Byron Shire and are proactive on disseminating information about local environmental issues.
