Do you favor clean air, good health, and a green economy? Your recent vote says "No."

Instead of letting Costco dictate your agenda, please listen to the voices of youth. Start investing in the future.

Taking it to Costco

Nik leads rallygoers to Costco.

Novato City Council Votes 4-1 for Costco Gas.

Despite fierce opposition, on March 9, Novato's City Council approved Costco's application to build a giant new gas station. Organizations opposing the application included environmental groups in Marin, as well as groups representing thousands Bay Area-wide.
They pointed out that new investment in fossil fuel infrastructure is wrong-headed; that building a large gasoline facility 50 yards from vital wetlands is dangerous, and that Costco has circumvented demands for a new environmental impact report by using flawed data from its own consultants.

Watch this space for announcements about upcoming actions.
