​Gas Blowdowns & Leaks in Wellesley

Gas Leaks Contribute to
​Climate Change, are Flammable, & Hazardous to Our Health

What Can You Do?

Building a new home? Renovating? Consider clean energy heating and cooling and cooking solutions. Here are some options to get your home OFF of gas. 
Make Call. Write Emails. Make A Difference
There have been many blowdowns in Wellesley recently and there are more than 260 gas leaks in town. Please consider writing or calling your local legislators to share your concerns.
​
The methane they release is a major contributor to climate change, is extremely flammable and is a harmful air pollutant. Breathing air polluted with the components of natural gas is hazardous to human health.  Natural gas contains other chemicals aside from methane, including respiratory toxins and cancer-causing compounds.
