In a bid to draw attention to the environmental impact of fracking, the musician and activist Yoko Ono has joined with her son, musician Sean Lennon, for a tour of impacted areas in the northeastern United States. The actor and activist Susan Sarandon joined Ono and Lennon for part of their trip.

Susan Sarandon: “Fracking is such a major, major decision, because it’s forever. I mean, we do not undo the damage of a well. Even when they’ve gotten the gas they want and they leave, all that stuff is still emitting.”

Sean Lennon: “We need to educate people that fracking is dirty, there’s no way to make it clean. The industry knows that it’s dirty, and that’s why they’re spending so much money on a PR campaign to sort of spread disinformation and to tell people that it’s going to save their economy, when actually what it does is it devastates local communities.”
