On Earth Day 5 Years Ago Governor Christie Pledged to Oppose Any LNG Application off the Coast

On April 22, 2010 Governor Christie made an Earth Day pledge:

‘For as long as I am governor, this administration will oppose any application for liquefied natural gas.’ The Governor also expressed his opposition to ‘any kind of offshore drilling.’

 Governor Christie’s 2010 Earth Day pledge was an important pledge for protecting our Ocean and coast from industrialization. The Governor kept his 2010 Earth Day promise by vetoing the then proposed Liberty Natural Gas LNG facility in 2011, stopping the project. We applaud Governor Christie for his firm stance on opposing LNG and any kind of offshore drilling. Since the project is back again, now known as Port Ambrose, we still need the Governor to stand firm against LNG.

On Earth Day we recall and salute the strong vow Governor Christie made to defend our coast from LNG and oil and gas drilling.  As we fight back against Port Ambrose we know we have Governor Christie’s vow to veto any application to ensure the project is dead in the water.

Here is more on Governor Christie's 2010 Earth Day Pledge:

Celebrate Earth Day with COA and Aveda

COA has been chosen as an Aveda partner in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania for their Earth Month 2013 campaign. During Earth Month, funds are raised independently by thousands of Aveda salons, spas and institutes as they participate in exciting events that include fashion shows, cut-a-thons, Walks for Water, product raffles, and much more. What began as a day of awareness in 1999 became $26 million raised for the Earth, $20 million of which was raised for clean water projects. Aveda will also partner with Global Greengrants Fund to provide grants for community-based water projects in more than 40 countries.
