Just recently, Yoko Ono and her son, Sean, together with other celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Julianne Moore, Mark Ronson and even esteemed author Salman Rushdie, decided to join hands and launch a campaign against fracking operations throughout America.

Apparently, Yoko and Sean decided that it was high time that something was done to put an end to this practice when they heard that fracking operations were to be carried out close to their New York home.

Given the fact that hydraulic fracturing is argued to poison underground water resources and pollute the environment, it is no wonder that said news did not quite appeal to them.

Besides setting up a website explaining everything there is to know about fracking and its impact on the environment, the two also came up with a song that openly protests against such drilling operations.

You can watch them performing the song in the video below.
