Stop the Alberta Tar Sands Pipeline to the US
The Tar Sands create three times as much global pollution as conventional oil.
Canada is known for its wonderful winters and stunning natural environment, so it's fitting that they're hosting the winter Olympics this year in Vancouver. But Canada is also pursuing an energy policy that threatens to accelerate global warming and destroy winter snowpack%u2014and with it, the future of sports like skiing and snowboarding.
The oil sands are the leading cause of global warming pollution in Canada, and the dirtiest oil on earth. Fuel from the oil sands creates three times as much carbon as conventional oil. If we want to fight global warming and save our winters, we have to stop the oil sands.
Canada's oil sands threaten our winters and our clean energy future. Right now, Big Oil is proposing a sprawling network of pipelines that would carry this dirty oil into the United States. By denying permits for oil sands pipelines, you can signal to the world that America is a global leader in the clean energy economy. Please save winter.
Stop the Oil Sands.
