Who We Are
No New Gas has one simple and easy-to-understand goal: preventing the construction of any new gas stations. Not in Novato. Not in Marin. Not in the Bay Area. Not anywhere. No New Gas seeks not only to educate people but also to create a tool kit for others to use. We aim to take what’s been learned in other fights against big oil and large retailers such as Costco and Safeway to help opponents successfully stop new gas stations from ever seeing the light of day.
No New Gas founder Lily Cohen, a young environmental engineering student and a member of 350 Bay Area’s Mobilizing Team, has been spearheading the fight against Costco’s proposed mega gas station in Novato. It’s that experience that has ignited in her a desire to create a platform to take the battle beyond the local scene and help those who are just starting their own battles with companies — and the elected officials in cities and counties who kowtow to them, ignoring the very real climate emergency in pursuit of short-term financial gain.
