Fracking The Cure. Susan G. Komen Pinkwashes Fracking !

Fracking The Cure. Susan G. Komen Pinkwashes Fracking !

Susan G. Komen Foundation Pinkwashes Fracking Sandra Steingraber | October 8, 2014 8:37 am What do you get when you cross a breast cancer charity with a frack job? The answer is the image below, which, as I am writing, is going epidemically viral. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is pretending to cure cancer by promoting carcinogenic frack flowback. And no, this is not a hoax. It’s just a sick fracking joke, courtesy of your friends at Susan G. Komen. Tell Susan G. Komen Don’t Frack With Our Health http://ecowatch.com/petition/susan-g-komen-dont-frack-health/ It’s hard to stop staring in utter baffled amazement. Is it some kind of … phallic cyborg? The opening scene of a yet another sequel to Tremors? (Kevin Bacon! Nevada! Subterranean, worm-like, cross-dressing graboid!) A sex toy from hell? In fact, it’s all […]

Fracking Benzene ? A Rig Worker’s Way to Cancer

Fracking Benzene ? A Rig Worker's Way to Cancer

This is one Susan G Komen missed. I suppose because most rig workers don’t have boobs. Plus their fracking benefactors spend a lot of money to obscure the fact that benzene, a constituent of oil and gas, is a potent carcinogen. Guess the Department of Health missed this one too, huh ? Benzene Cancers: ‘An American tragedy’ Documents lay bare petrochemical industry’s $36 million ‘research strategy’ on carcinogens Internal memorandums, emails, letters and meeting minutes obtained by the Center for Public Integrity over the past year suggest that America’s oil and chemical titans, coordinated by their trade association, the American Petroleum Institute, spent at least $36 million on research “designed to protect member company interests,” as one 2000 API summary put it. Many of the documents chronicle an unparalleled effort by five […]

Pink Fracking: The Cure’s Pink Washing Marketing Scam

Pink Fracking: The Cure's Pink Washing Marketing Scam

Got some carcinogenic industry you want to PinkWash ? Pay Susan G. Komen to do it for you. No medical exam required if the check is big enough. Even Susan G. Komen’s own website shares the chemicals from fracking that are linked to breast cancer, but it didn’t stop them from partnering with oil and gas giant Baker Hughes, which donated $100,000 to Komen in October for the “Doing Our Bit for the Cure” campaign where 1,000 fracking drill bits were painted pink. The viral post on EcoWatch, written by breast cancer survivor and fracking activist Sandra Steingraber, exposed the hypocrisy of this campaign. Now, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart takes this outrageous partnership to new heights. Watch this hilarious segment where The Daily Show‘s Samantha Bee meets Karuna Jaggar, […]

Fracking Nancy Brinker

Fracking Nancy Brinker

This Sunday at the Steelers Game Stand up against the Pinkwashing of Fracking at a rally outside the Steelers game this Sunday! “I’m from Pittsburgh so I grew up loving Western Pennsylvania’s rivers and woods and of course the Pittsburgh Steelers. Finding out the Steelers were participating in the pinkwashing of fracking, a process that threatens the health of Western Pennsylvania’s citizens and environment, felt like a kick in the gut. Or worse, being tackled by a Steelers linebacker. The Susan G. Komen foundation has partnered with one of the world’s leading fracking companies to distribute 1,000 pink drill bits and on Sunday, October 26, Baker Hughes’ CEO will present a $100,000 check to Nancy Brinker, Komen’s founder and figurehead at the Pittsburgh Steelers football game. It sounds insane, right? An […]

Where to Get Rid of a Few Billion Gallons of Carcinogenic Radioactive Frack Slime ?

Where to Get Rid of a Few Billion Gallons of Carcinogenic Radioactive Frack Slime ?

That’s not a rhetorical question . . . thousands of tanker-loads of radioactive frack sludge, literally too hot to dispose of. Paint the tankers Hot Pink and drive fast all the way to IdaFrackHo. Where else ? Dilemma: How to Dispose of Carcinogenic Radioactive Frack Waste? October 12, 2014 12:00 AM A few months ago, a Marcellus Shale operator approached Leong Ying, business development manager at the radiation measurement division of Thermo Fisher Scientific, with a problem. The driller, whom Mr. Ying declined to name, was trying to dispose of oil and gas waste at area landfills but the trucks kept tripping radiation alarms. Rejected trucks had to be sent back to well pads or taken out of state, both costly options. It was happening enough that it started nudging the company’s bottom […]

Pink Washing Frackers - The Cure To Get Fracked At Steelers Game

At high noon in Pittsburgh on October 26th. Watch Nancy Brinker shill for fracking - which has been proven to cause cancer. The Immaculate Deception? Of Pink Drill Bits and Cancer-Causing Frack Flowback Oct 11 – The Susan G. Komen Foundation has, once more, riled some of its base — breast-cancer activists, survivors and their families — this time by accepting $100,000 from an oil and fracking company that, in turn, produced 1,000 pink drill bits. Martin Craighead, chairman of Houston-based Baker Hughes Inc., will hand that check to Komen founder Nancy Brinker at Pittsburgh’s Heinz field on Oct. 26, before the Steelers play the Indianapolis Colts. Komen’s decision to take the money — its second donation from Baker Hughes in two years — has sparked anger and disbelief across the breast […]

PINK WASHING BREAST CANCER

PINK WASHING BREAST CANCER

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month; it is also fundraising month for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. In what may be one of the most blinded by the shiney campaigns, the Komen Foundation has teamed up with Baker Hughes, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel services companies. Baker Hughes Expands Commitment to Susan G. Komen Company supports mission to end breast cancer forever HOUSTON, Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Baker Hughes Incorporated (NYSE: BHI) announced today that for the second consecutive year, it will contribute $100,000 to support Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, in its efforts to end breast cancer forever. It’s ironic that Baker Hughes has painted drill bits “Pink” when those very drill bits are part of a process which has been linked […]

Natural Gas Methane - OMITTED RESULTS

May 3, 2013

Kevin Begos, from the Associated Press reported on April 28, 2013 that the EPA Methane Report Further Divides Fracking Camps. Begos didn’t give a link to the report. It really wasn’t all that difficult to find on the EPA website. Read or download the entire Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2011 (PDF, 503 pp., 14.10 MB). I suggest you also go the EPA Climate Change Indicators in the United States page. The EPA report was issued in April of 2013; the report covers the period of 1990-2011. Per EPA Report Section ES2 Recent Trends in US Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: (emphasis added) The decrease from 2010 to 2011 was due to a decrease in the carbon intensity of fuels consumed to generate electricity due to a […]
