The Campaign
The tar sands are the fastest growing source of global warming pollution in Canada. Yet, the federal government has no plan to curb their emissions.
Global warming isn't the only environmental problem made worse by the tar sands. Toxic waste ponds, air and water pollution, habitat and species destruction are all legacies of the enormous operations in northern Alberta.
We're not afraid to talk about how the tar sands are TARnishing the maple leaf. We've published a number of reports, and placed some ads about their effect on our health and our economy. We're demanding action from Ottawa transition away from dirty oil, such as the tar sands, to clean energy and to reduce the negative effects of the tar sands while that's happening.
It doesn’t have to be this way. There are ways to curb the damage being done by the tar sands. Yet the federal government has so far failed to get industry to clean up.
Because of their sheer scale, all Canadians are affected by the tar sands, no matter where they live.
