"Better Brazoria has a strong track record in southern Brazoria County for its indefatigable work on environmental causes related to the many oil, gas, and Liquor Natural Gas (LNG) problems caused by the large number of petrochemical manufacturing plants in Freeport.  The organization has had many successes, including a five-year delay in the approval of two different giant oil pipeline projects there, and a three-year delay for needed safety improvement at Freeport LNG before they were allowed to reopen after an explosion.”
Dr. Thelma Scott, SAFE Communities, Houston

 

“I’m proud to work and support Better Brazoria in its continued fight against the SPOT oil export terminal project that was planned to go through my Village of Surfside Beach. Their continuous efforts in protesting and keeping the residents at the Village well informed of the status of this unwelcome project has been outstanding.  It was due to the numerous delays created by Better Brazoria that the Enterprise Oil Products company in Houston lost funding, and may have to close down this dangerous project.”
Steve Kedlarchuk, Surfside Beach Village Council

 

“We have worked with and supported Better Brazoria for many years because they get things done. They have been a strong advocate for the environment along the Texas Gulf Coast, opposing projects that would harm the air, water, and health of residents, including children. Melanie Oldham continues to be an important voice in planning local, state, national and international environmental projects.”
Robin Schneider, Executive Director, Texas Campaign for the Environment, Austin

“Better Brazoria and Melanie Oldham have been an important supporter of the work Haven Project is doing to help the disadvantaged residents of Freeport and Quintana. Together we are making a difference in the lives of so many forgotten citizens along the shameful Texas Sacrifice Coast."
Manning Rollerson, Executive Director, Haven Project, Freeport
