Hello:
People in Massachusetts are still working to stop the building of gas pipelines and compressor stations. This is happening with people working to stop the compressor station in Weymouth -- see Fore River Residents Against Compressor Station Facebook posts and other work highlighted by Climate Action Now Facebook posts regarding Columbia Gas Resistance in Springfield. We all need to keep educating ourselves, using less, saving on energy use and working together during this climate emergency. -- Pat Larson for North Quabbin Energy Core Group
