Explore the Law: Fracking Worksheet
Here at the National Justice Museum, we understand that laws are evolving things. With the current change in the legality of fracking announced, our worksheet aims to educate young people on what fracking is and why it is so controversial. It also gives a voice to the young people engaging in the activity so that they can see how important their vision and voices are within the legal system. Their voices can change the future and maybe create a brighter, more ecologically sound tomorrow. As an organisation which supports sustainability, we find that exciting!
The worksheet is self explanatory and requires no further resources.
