Dear NW Natural,

I am closing my account and shutting off NW Natural gas to my house in opposition to the proposed LNG pipeline. This pipeline would destroy private farmland, cut a huge swath of the Mt. Hood National Forest, and be potentially hazardous to the rivers and fish. For environmental and safety issues, I urge the company to drop this proposed project. I don’t want to support any company that is not in line with my values. When the Palomar pipeline has been cancelled, I will consider turning the gas back on.

Sincerely,

Kima Garrison

Last week Kima Garrison, a Portland-area volunteer with the No LNG campaign, took a bold action and turned off her NW Natural gas in protest of the Palomar Pipeline. She is refusing to give any money to a company so out of line with her values of smart land use and environmental protection.

Kima understands that shutting off gas in protest may not be the right action for many people. There are complexities involved if you use gas for hot water or cooking for example. Kima is hoping that her action will inspire others to take action against NW Natural’s profit-driven pipeline in whatever way works for you.

Will you take a bold stance against the pipeline this month? Join hundreds of other Oregonians taking action and attend the Rally at the NW Natural Shareholders Meeting. And, be sure to sign up to volunteer for the Hey NW Natural campaign this month.
