Clean air and clean water are not possible in a petrochemical hub. We have to push back. For our health. For the health of our climate. For the health of our democracy. Petro polluters are not welcome here in SWPA. #ShaleInsight2018 https://t.co/BxxBZ95HNc
Let Shell and the other petro colonizers at #SHALEINSIGHT2018 be warned: the damage that you cause to communities will only grow more apparent, causing the resistance to your despicable business model to grow ever stronger. The result will be stranded assets, failed investments. https://t.co/lpi8hnnJgv
