Why Join

Learn about National Grid's LNG facility, the largest fracked gas site in New York State. See how fossil fuel infrastructure, utility decisions, and pollution affect neighborhoods in North Brooklyn, and explore how communities are building alternatives.

Special Guests & Fun Activities in November: Sensory Earth Meditation Exercise and Indigenous Seedball Toss

This isn’t your ordinary fossil fuel walking tour.

Come see the 120-acre fracked gas facility up close, and enjoy our new collaboration with neighbors who lead City of Woods Primitive Skills who teach essential wilderness survival techniques such as fire-making, shelter-building, and crafting tools from nature - skills that have been passed down for generations.

This is your chance to participate in our very first evening tour!

What’s at Stake
  • National Grid plans to expand fracked gas infrastructure into the 2050s, ignoring New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.

  • Toxic facilities like the Greenpoint LNG site sit in the heart of North Brooklyn, next to homes, businesses, and playgrounds.

  • Every month, our utility bills pay for this pollution. Without action, we could be locked into decades of climate damage and health risks.

  • National Grid has just announced a one-year rate freeze. Governor Hochul knows utility bills are a hot-button issue during an election year. What does this mean for your bills and future increases to pay for fossil fuel infrastructure?

What’s Our Vision

  • What would a healthy, accessible access to the 120 acre site look like?

  • How can communities shape energy systems to prioritize people and the planet?

How You Can Participate

  • Learn the issues and share your perspective on community solutions

  • Take action on the upcoming rate case

  • Stay connected with Sane Energy Project and partners

  • Refreshments will be provided to keep our energy strong and healthy throughout the walk.

Prepare to be entertained, educated, and enraged as we explore this toxic state Superfund site, and imagine what this land could become instead. 🔥 Come for the sensory meditation activity. Stay for the fossil fuel fight. Dream with us about what comes next.
