Artists Against Fracking is an anti-fracking group founded by Yoko Ono and her son Sean Lennon in 2012. With over 200 members, including celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Robert de Niro, Paul McCartney, Adrian Grenier and Alec Baldwin, they have voiced their opposition towards fracking in many different ways from billboards to music videos in an attempt to keep fracking out of New York State.
‘AAF is focusing on New York as a first step in a global effort’ - Yoko Ono
Groups like these and any public message by a celebrity is bound to have a large impact on opinion, people like Yoko Ono are role models and the general public tend to be a lot more likely to listen them rather than government officials. There is a certain trust that goes with being a celebrity and it can be used in the right ways to make a difference and protect the environment.
