Refracktion
Refracktion is a British group concerned with the environmental impact of
hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for gas on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire
, England. They believe fracking will have inevitable negative effects on the local environment and its amenity value.
Refracktion referred the fracking company Cuadrilla Resources to the Advertising Standards Authority over a brochure published by the company that claimed fracking was safe. Six of 18 specific complaints were upheld, however, 11 of the 18 controversial passages were deemed to be acceptable .[1][2][3][4]
