Let Costco and Novato City Know: Urgent Times to End the Area of Fossil Fuels.

In April 2020, Costco Wholesale proposed to add a gas station adjacent to the existing Costco Wholesale store located in the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center. This is Costco’s second attempt to build a mega gas station next to its store. If approved and built, it would become the largest gas station in Marin County in 2024.

The project includes the construction of an approximately 10,000-square-foot canopy that will cover 14 fuel dispensers that accommodate 28 fueling positions. Additionally, it comprises 3 x 40,000-gallon gasoline underground storage tanks (UST) and 1x 1,500-gallon additive UST.

This project is entirely incompatible with the Climate Emergency Crisis we are in. It is urgent time to end burning fossil fuels for transportation and all other energy consumption and switch to clean electric energy instead.

Tell Costco to become part of the Solution, not the Problem! Tell Novato City: No Mega Gas Station. Don't add Fuel to the Fire. Let's march together.

We provide some signs; however, bringing your own is very welcome. We can't wait to see you there!

This event is part of the Global Power Up for Climate Solutions Weekend of Climate Action: https://globalpowerup.org/. All around the world, people will come together to power up the global renewable energy revolution. Let’s shift money and political influence away from fossil fuel companies and towards a clean and equitable future for all!

Please please educate yourselves. We fight wars to mine lithium. Currently, the government is trying to destroy sacred native land in Nevada to mine lithium for your electric vehicles. This is not the answer. Please research the mining and processing of lithium. Electric vehicles also feed capitalism. Please instead protest the illigal occupation of natives lands that is being attempted in Nevada. The natives are fighting to keep their lands undisturbed. The mining will destroy the ecosystem including water they depend on. Please broaded your perspectives. Buy used cars, instead of new. Learn to maintain your own vehicles and do your oil changes. Drive less and work from home more. We need real change that is not destructive to the planet. We desperately need education on the destructive effect of electric cars on our planet. Think.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
