Stop the NEXUS Pipeline! - Food & Water Watch

The NEXUS and ROVER pipelines distribute gas harvested by water and air polluting fracking, supports only minimal and temporary jobs, is economically unnecessary, and continues to cause man-made climate change that kills people every day in Bangladesh and the Pacific Islands, and at home with more severe storms like Sandy, more extreme heat and drought.
