The countdown to this year's general election has begun, and on doorsteps and in town centres across the country, political parties are going all out to win our support.
Election candidates stand to be our next MPs want to hear our views, and they want to win our votes, so right now we've a new opportunity to tell them exactly how we feel about fracking.
If you've never heard of it before, hydraulic fracturing (fracking for short) is a destructive and dirty process using a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals to blast rocks and release trapped gas and oil. Not only have these chemicals been linked to water contamination, but burning more fossil fuels, like gas, will lead to disaster for our planet.
Despite it being a highly controversial process, David Cameron has earmarked more than half of the UK for potential fracking drill sites.
We need to let whoever's running the country after May know that opposition to fracking is on the rise, and that if they choose to force fracking on us, they'll be up against a large political backlash.
That's why we've teamed up with Friends of the Earth to launch the Frack Free Promise.
The Frack Free Promise is a pledge local election candidates can take that commits them to opposing fracking if they’re voted into power at this year’s general election.
Already more than 800 candidate MPs, from almost every political party, have signed up. And as more and more candidates pledge to oppose fracking in their constituencies, other candidates will come under pressure to do so too.
