Climate Ark
The European Commission—the executive branch of the European Union (EU)—will be voting in the next couple days whether to designate Canada’s tar sands as being “highly polluting.” Given tar sands’ terrible ecological impacts upon our shared global atmosphere—and Canadian boreal forests, water, and indigenous peoples—the answer should be painfully obvious, and a resounding yes.
Such a designation would be a significant setback for tar sands growth.
Yet given the power of the ecocidal oil oligarchy which rules Canada and much of the world, empowered global citizens need to let the EU know the world expects, indeed demands, the EU do the right thing in condemning tar sands—in order to establish a level playing field for a renewable, efficient, and conservation based energy future.

Hi all,
I have been trying to use the links here and on Climate Ark to protest this (sign a petition?) and the link does not work either here OR on the Climate Ark site for me. While this may just be a technical issue, I find it a very unfortunate circumstance that I am a Canadian trying to protest against the actions of my govt by promoting the dirtiest oil in the world and they are branding all people involved in protesting against Tar Sands development “radical environmentalists” AND right now the govt is trying really hard to pass a bill which would allow them to spy on their citizens…
