Against gas and pipelines

Songs

• "They're digging us a hole" is a dirge-like song written by Melodeego and sung to great effect during the Funeral for our Future procession at the Transcanada MA office

• "1700 miles of pipe / No KXL" - posted on YouTube by Farhad, who was crucial in organizing the arts component of the anti-coal-in-MA Energy Exodus. It's got a good rhythm and variety, though the words would need to be tweaked.No more pipelines, no more gas
  (Enbridge/Columbia/Transcanada...), you shall not pass

Chant Ideas

Fossil fuels, your time is past
The whole wide world is warming fast
The time is now, it's time at last
Let's say goodbye to oil and gas

step aside so we can move ahead
these dirty old fuels are best left for dead
we'll power the future with clean energy instead
