I became an environmentalist way before I became an anarchist, yet when canvassers approached me with a petition to keep fracking at least 2500 ft away from neighborhoods (which I believe in), I didn’t sign it.

I couldn’t help but think about what Martin Luther King said though, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”.

And that “ The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” -Albert Einstein.

In terms of the NAP I think the practice of hydrolic fracturing is an act of aggression towards the Earth, and those whose lives may be affected by accidental contamination of the land, and water sources.

So is not signing the petition a way of turning a blind eye to injustice and aggression? Or is it me being a “good anarchist”?
