Green Up Fossil Fuels

Past event
May 2, 2015

Dear Neighbors,

Join us on Green Up Day - Saturday, May 2 at 10:30 AM - at the Vermont Gas pipeyard in Williston to green up Vermont's energy future by saying "No!" to the Vermont Gas pipeline expansion. Since 1970, Green Up Day has brought Vermonters together to clean up our roadsides, town greens, and neighborhoods. This year, we're emboldening this community spirit to address the climate crisis.

You've probably heard about the skyrocketing costs of the pipeline project, the construction delays, the cancellation of "Phase II", the eminent domain proceedings, and the Public Service Board's current deliberation on whether to revoke the project's permit. The entire project is teetering; we need you now to stop it once and for all.

We'll have green trash bags to do our part in greening up Vermont, and signs, banners, and songs. Vermont Gas customers will be there to say "We're not buying - no new fossil fuel infrastructure, no more rate increases." Landowners in the pipeline's path will be there to say "We're not selling - not our farmland, not our rights." Will you be there too?

Join us this Saturday to:

1. Rally against the pipeline on Green Up Day (May 2, 10:30 - 11:30 AM), and help us pick up trash along Route 2 near the Vermont Gas pipeyard and gate station. We're providing the green bags, gloves, and safety vests. You bring your signs, enthusiasm, and passion.

2. Help Canvass (May 2, 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM): We're launching an awareness campaign for Vermont Gas customers - they're the ones paying for this project. After the rally, we'll split up into groups to speak with folks at Green Up Day barbecues and get-togethers.

What better way to spend Green Up Day 2015 than standing tall for a just, responsible, and truly green energy future?
