#Anacortes and all of #WA and #BritishColumbia: Immediate action requested. Ask #SkagitCounty to deny Tesoro's refinery expansions



There is a hearing this morning. It is very easy to click where it says on the first line "asking Skagit County" and add your voice to deny the shoreline permit for the fossil foolish expansion project. Thanks to Re-Sources.org for their good works.
