Firstly, I wish to congratulate the city of Vancouver on its success denying the oil terminal and defending the quality of life we enjoy as Washingtonians. Your city should be recognized as the first of many victories to stop fossil-fuel industries. Kudos.
To expand upon your/our success I ask for support of Kalama in its challenge to defend our town against the proposed/denied/and now appealed Chinese-backed methanol refinery. We are now in another scoping period. Your involvement to respond to the Port of Kalama and/or the Cowlitz County commissioners with questions, concerns and positions are needed to stop this project.
Columbia Riverkeeper is standing with us. So is the Sierra Club. They stood with you and helped you prevail. Now help them to achieve the same results with us. I am a lifelong resident of Cowlitz County, now living in Kalama. We are a very thin green line here. But we have the same vision you have — to go forward into a nonpolluting, sustainable future, starting at home and never faltering for the good of all.
Come to Kalama on Feb. 19 to help us stop this project.
