About Us
Keep Tap Water Safe
As concerned, environmentally-minded citizens of Southeastern Pennsylvania, our goal is to aggregate high-quality information about the safety and security of our fresh water resources; to alert our community about the complex and urgent issue of Shale Gas Drilling in Pennsylvania watersheds; and to support the efforts of other environmental and water action groups concerned with the health of our rivers and streams.
Keep Tap Water Safe looks for environmental accountability at the Pennsylvania state and local level and, whenever possible, endeavors to apply maximum pressure to those driving energy and environmental policy at the state and federal level.
Liz Rosenbaum, Editor, KeepTapWaterSafe.org
A writer, parent, avid researcher and organic gardener, Rosenbaum has worked in publishing at Philadelphia Magazine, and as a freelance copywriter and lifestyle journalist. In 2005, she wondered about the lack of media coverage when the gas drilling exemptions were slipped into the Energy Policy Act, but it was seeing Josh Fox’s Oscar-nominated documentary Gasland that made her aware of the environmental horrors associated with Industrial Gas Drilling. She quickly learned that hydraulic fracturing – fracking - is the single largest pollution threat to the water supply of the 15.6 million people living in Philadelphia, Southeastern Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware and Southern New Jersey. Since then, she has become a volunteer for The Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Protecting Our Waters and StopFrackingPA!, striving to raise the platform of Fresh Water Security along with the issue of fracking. She’s heartened to have found over a million like-minded water activists in Pennsylvania – so far.

Dear friends,
Please check out the referenced article called FRACKING INSANE at woodstockearth.blogspot.com. Non-commercial website.
I’m the writer, but it’s not about me. Please take the time to read it through, as it’s got a lot of info all the way till the end, that maybe even you, who know a lot more than me, might not know yet. Also, I tried to make it understandable for the common person. Two good videos included. It’s not short, but only 6 pages long, as short as I could make it and tell the whole story.
Please feel free to use it any way you like, but if you could reference or link to our site, that’s all we ask.
Thanks for your time, if you really do read it through.
Thanks,
Mikethemikeman
