CORVALLIS, Ore. -- People gathered at Central Park wanted to call for a stop in the usage of fossil fuels and increased reliance on electricity in the name of saving the planet.

Demonstrators want to see action against Fossil Fuels to help reduce climate change.

Eric Rehm helped organize the "Rally for a Livable Planet" using his initiative "Electrify Corvallis," to shed light on the importance of using electric power over fossil fuels.

“This is a perfect moment where science, policy, and action are coming together,” he said. "We're seeing the effects of climate change in almost every state and in almost every country so this is the time to essential start the beginning of the end of fossil fuels."
