Fight Climate Change By Limiting Natural Gas Drilling

Target: Governor Tina Kotek of Oregon

Goal: Immediately halt the expansion of Liquified Natural Gas export terminals to preserve the state’s environment and combat climate change.

The ongoing expansion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export terminals in Oregon is a critical concern that demands collective attention. These facilities not only emit significant amounts of methane, a potent contributor to climate change, but also pose serious threats to local ecosystems and communities. This pressing issue must be addressed to secure a sustainable future for the state.

LNG terminals involve the extraction, transportation, and liquefaction of natural gas, leading to the release of methane and further exacerbating the climate crisis. Additionally, the construction and operation of these terminals can disrupt sensitive marine habitats, endanger marine species, and compromise the livelihoods of coastal communities.

Sign the petition below to stand together and call for an immediate suspension of the expansion of LNG export terminals in Oregon, safeguarding the environment and demonstrating the commitment to responsible energy practices.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Governor Kotek,

The well-being of Oregon’s environment and future generations rests in your hands. We are writing to urgently request your intervention in halting the expansion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export terminals in the state.

The detrimental impacts of these terminals, from heightened greenhouse gas emissions to environmental disruption, pose an imminent threat to Oregon’s unique landscapes and communities. It is crucial to prioritize sustainable energy solutions that align with the state’s commitment to environmental preservation and responsible resource management.

We implore you to exercise your leadership and influence to put an end to the expansion of LNG export terminals in Oregon. By taking this vital step, you have the power to safeguard natural treasures, address the climate crisis, and set an example for responsible governance.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
