MIning for Fracking Sand in MN, IA, WI

[annm4peace]

My aunt emailed me of the rapid mining for fracking sand along the Mississippi in WI, MN and IA.

I only have a little but wanted to share. It is happening in rural area where there isn't the big attention.

Here are some links and comments from my aunt
