Outstanding Flight Video: Check this out!

by Jon Schwedler

If you've ever flown a commercial flight between cities in the West, you may have glanced down and seen a circuitry of roads and equipment.  You might have wondered, "what the heck is that stuff?"

Well, the "Ecoflight" video on this page answers that question, and reveals just how insane gas drilling has become in states like Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.  These networks of roads and drillpads are a labyrinth for wildlife like pronghorn antelope to cross.  Pretty much adds up to the end of seasonal migration for them. 

Other videos on this page include one on elk and Chronic Wasting Disease, and cutthroat trout collapse.  I highly recommend them all-- time for us to step up and do something about this before it's too late!
