To: Senator Stephen Sweeney, New Jersey Senate President
Senator Sweeney: Stop the Pinelands Pipelines!
I urge you to withdraw your support for the Pinelands pipelines proposal and to instead introduce legislation to prohibit future pipelines in this treasured New Jersey space.
Instead of constructing unnecessary infrastructure we should be advancing alternatives, such as New Jersey-produced solar and wind power.

Why is this important?
The Pinelands Reserve is under threat from two proposed gas pipelines that could devastate this pristine forest area and drinking water resource.
Pipelines used to transport oil and gas pose health and safety risks to New Jersey communities, including leaks and explosions. Building out and laying the pipeline projects would also devastate the treasured Pinelands.
It is time for our elected officials to take action to protect the future of the Pinelands. Senator Sweeney has the influence to stop these projects in their tracks.
