John,

Last week, the Washington Department of Ecology made a major decision regarding the world’s largest fracked gas-to-methanol refinery proposed in Kalama, WA. Ecology rightfully determined that the project backers failed to provide complete, adequate information to state regulators about the project’s climate impacts. Now, Ecology will conduct a new Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to understand the full impacts of this project.

This is a big decision! Ecology’s action marks a setback for the world’s largest proposed fracked gas-to-methanol refinery.

More importantly, Ecology’s action shows that your voice matters. Your advocacy is making a difference in protecting our climate from a project that would quickly become one of Washington’s biggest greenhouse gas polluters.

Our work is not done. Here are three things you can do to protect the Kalama community and our climate:

SIGN: Write to Ecology and support their effort to hold the project backers accountable. Sign our petition today!
SHARE: Share these videos on Facebook, and urge your friends and family to sign the petition.
CALL: Support Ecology’s decision by calling 360.407.6969 and leaving a short, friendly message, such as, “I support your decision to require a new supplemental EIS for the proposed methanol refinery in Kalama. Your decision is important for protecting our climate from a project that would use more fracked gas than all of Washington’s power plants combined. I look forward to the day when Ecology denies this project once and for all.”

Thank you for all you do,
