Ask OPB to Drop Controversial Sponsorship of Fossil Fuel Company Northwest Natural
Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) has reported on the dangers of fracked gas and been a trusted news source in our community. They've acknowledged that fracked gas is a triple threat: harming communities at the site of production, releasing toxic pollutants in our homes, and accelerating the climate crisis. According to OPB’s own reporting, “natural” gas is Oregon’s “second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions” because it is primarily methane, a fossil fuel 80 times more potent than CO2. With the climate crisis at our doorstep, the gas industry is already directly impacting the health and safety of Oregonians.
That's why it's so surprising to hear that OPB is running sponsorship ads for NW Natural. Our public radio should not be promoting the fossil fuel industry.
Join as communities come together to ask OPB to drop their NW Natural sponsorship.
Here’s how you can help:
Read the letter sent by 14 community organizations asking OPB to drop their NWN sponsorship.
Sign the petition telling OPB to drop their NWN sponsorship.
