These natural gas pipelines are being built by companies without enough concern for the impact they will have on people, animals, and landscape. Find out more and what you can do about this issue.
Heart of Virginia; Environmental Justice Road Trip to Buckingham County.
April 22, 2018
350Loudoun and the Sierra Club are sponsoring a bus trip and tour of Yogaville and the Union Hill community in Buckingham County.
Please join us on a journey to central Virginia to connect with the people, places, and natural resources threatened by the proposed controversial Atlantic Coast Pipeline and compressor station. Experts will be present to answer any questions you might have.
The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is not needed. It will harm Virginians, our economy and environment, exacerbating climate change.

Dominion Agrees to Bury Power Lines
After years of a legal stalemate over a Dominion Energy project that would have built overhead power lines throughout western Prince William County communities, (Haymarket/Gainesville), the fight has finally come to an end.
Dominion has agreed to partially bury lines along Interstate 66 as a "hybrid solution."
To celebrate the good practice of recycling leaves, grass, and other organic waste, this year's theme is "Building a Better Future." Workshops start at 10:30am.
The Prince William County Landfill and the Balls Ford Compost Facility help you to part with your household items properly and efficiently so that you keep not only your home clean, but also our environment.
