A bus filled with New York City residents and celebrities like Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, and Susan Sarandon traveled the back country roads of Susquehanna County. They came to get a closer look at communities affected by Natural Gas drilling.
Some members of Artists Against Fracking toured gas drilling sites in Northern Pennsylvania in hopes of raising awareness about the effects of fracking before it comes to the homes they have in New York. Along the way the bus stopped to talk to local residents, there they saw pictures and watched videos of what happens once the drilling starts.
Many local residents joined the bus tour to share their story with the group. The tour is being led by local anti-fracking residents that reached out to Artists Against Fracking in the past year. They are pushing for more awareness and support from government officials.
