Gas leaks tagging event on May 13th at 10:00 in the morning; meet in front of town hall.  Did you know that Brookline has 250 natural gas leaks under our roads? While that is a daunting number of leaks, in fact half of all the leaked gas comes from just 7% of the largest leaks. Fixing these leaks will dramatically reduce emissions and save ratepayer money in the fastest, most efficient manner.

National Grid is working with allies and the Town of Brookline on a study to find and fix the biggest leaks, called super emitters.

That's a great start. But we want to identify all the super emitters.  Please join us in our gas leaks tagging event. We will give a brief overview of why gas leaks are so toxic to the environment and our public health. Then we will split into teams and tag the leaks around our town. You will be provided with maps and materials.

Let National Grid know that Brookline wants more of our biggest leaks fixed fast.

The event is co-sponsored by State Senator Cynthia Creem, Climate Action Brookline, Temple Sinai, Temple Israel, 350 Mass for a Better Future, Brookline TEEN Center, Green UP team of United Parish Church of Brookline, Elders Climate Action, Mass Health Care Providers Against Fracked Gas, Girl Scout Brownie troop 62564.
