Testify to Eugene City Council – It’s Time for a Fossil Free Eugene

The City of Eugene has officially walked away from negotiations with NW Natural! This a good first step, but we need to do more to phase out fracked gas in Eugene. We are specifically pushing them to ban new gas infrastructure as their next step.

Join us in speaking at the next City Council meeting!
Monday, April 12 7:15 PM

Online Virtual Event, Free and Open to the Public
(zoom link pending but will be here)

Fossil Free Eugene is a coalition of local grassroots organizations calling for the end of fracked gas in Eugene.

Here are our demands:

    1. Mandate the transition of all utilities in Eugene to 100% renewable energy by 2030
    2. Ban the construction of all new fossil fuel infrastructure in Eugene
    3. Levy a fee on NW Natural and other climate polluters to create a justice fund to transition low income and historically marginalized communities from fracked gas to electric appliances, and to retrofit these homes to increase efficiency
