Extinction Rebellion DC has launched a campaign to stop Washington Gas — the only company in the city that pipes toxic methane gas into your home — from spending $5 billion on more gas infrastructure.

Its methane pipes will continue to poison DC residents, exposing our children to a cocktail of toxins that cause severe illness and early death. Washington Gas is a direct danger to the safety of DC’s residents. The company is destroying our health and our children’s future — and the DC Government is letting them get away with it. #endmethane

The builders of the Washington Monument had to figure out how to heave the marble blocks using a system of pulleys, block and tackle systems, and a mounted derrick to hoist and place the stones in place to create the 555 feet, 5.125 inches tall obelisk.
