Extinction Rebellion DC throws street party to protest methane leaks
Two members of Extinction Rebellion DC occupy a boat blocking traffic behind a Metropolitan (DC) Police officer during a street party hosted as part of the group's "End methane, electrify DC" campaign. The party is a protest against expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure by Washington Gas, as well as the company's role in methane leaks that currently plague DC. Methane is the most potent greenhouse gas driving global warming, 80 times more effective in trapping heat than carbon dioxide over the course of 20 years. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
