Take a Stand Against the Brookfield Fracked Gas Compressor Station Expansion!
The proposed expansion of the fracked gas compressor station in Brookfield, CT, is a direct threat to our community’s health and safety. Here’s why we need your voice:
Proximity to Schools and Homes: The expanded facility would be located just 1,900 feet from a middle school, putting children at risk of exposure to harmful emissions. Families living nearby would face increased air pollution, raising concerns about respiratory issues and other health risks.
Environmental Impact: The compressor station expansion would significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions at a time when Connecticut should be leading on climate action. Allowing more fracked gas infrastructure contradicts our state’s commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and protecting future generations.
Corporate Interests Over Community Needs: The corporations behind this expansion, TC Energy and Berkshire Hathaway, are prioritizing profits over the well-being of our neighbors. It’s up to us to hold them accountable and demand that our state leaders prioritize community health and a sustainable future.
