The Celebrity Campaign Against Fracking How Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon Rallied an Outcry, Yoko Ono, her son Sean Lennon, and more than 180 other artists have come together to lend their star power to the anti-fracking cause by Olivia B. Waxman, August 31, 2012, Time Magazine
Earlier this week, they announced the formation of Artists Against Fracking at a Manhattan news conference. Ono and Lennon said they wrote a letter to New York Governor Cuomo asking him not to allow the controversial hydraulic fracturing in upstate New York’s Marcellus Shale because it could contaminate the state’s watersheds — including New York City’s water supply. … Stars who are a part of this coalition include former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Lady Gaga, Jimmy Fallon, Alec Baldwin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, Julianne Moore, Uma Thurman, Hugh Jackman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Zooey Deschanel.
