  • Monday, September 21, 3:00 pm – Boston City Council Hearing on Gas Leaks in Boston

    There are over 3,000 gas leaks under Boston’s streets, and that’s a BIG problem because:

    Leaked gas can explode
    Gas leaks can aggravate asthma
    Gas leaks kill trees
    We’re paying for the lost gas: $90 million a year
    We could heat 200,000 homes with the gas that’s escaping from leaky Boston-area pipes
    Leaky old gas pipes may be Boston’s number one source of global warming gases – bigger than the emissions from all the cars and trucks in Boston!

    Come out September 21st to share your concerns about gas leaks with our City Councilors! For more information and to get involved, contact bostonclimateaction@gmail.com
