Here's an interactive link for a quick summary of what Hydraulic Fracturing is and how it can negatively affect the environment. (also known as fracking) Hydraulic fracturing is a process that involves pumping a high volume of water and several hundred types of chemicals into a  mixture,
that is used to fracture rock in order to release natural gas. This natural gas is then captured and eventually moved on for distribution. The problem is that this is not always the end, the same chemicals and water pumped into the Earth have to go some where, and end up contaminating surrounding land and water that people and animals alike depend on .
