John Fenton

John Fenton and his wife Cathy have farmed cattle in the small rural town of Pavillion for decades.

Now twenty-four gas wells pepper John’s farm and all of them are visible from his front porch. The green pastures that supported his family for generations have been fragmented by pipelines, production tanks and compressor stations pumping out industrial fumes.

After the gas companies moved in and started hydraulic fracking, his neighbours’ water turned black and started smelling like diesel fuel.

Now Fenton is trying to spread the message about the dangers of fracking. He’s on a tour of Australia.

Here are the dates HERE.
