Many Canadians are truly embarrassed and horrified by the Tar Sands and terrible Petro-State mentality of our far-right Conservative government here in Canada. Thank you for raising awareness in the U.K. Solidarity from so many in Canada.
no point in protesting, it will NEVER be banned, oil is far to important and it creates thousands of jobs + you need it to stop your bikes from rusting :)
@Micahorn: Whatever services they offer to a community are far outweighed by the disasters they provide to the world. It goes beyond just the most recent, though most catastrophic, spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP, and other oil giants, buy politicians, governments, and as such they don't have to bother with any laws put in place to protect us, animals, or the world. Just check for yourself, don't take my word for it.
Now we need to see similar protests outside Royal Bank of Scotland Branches. It's scandalous that a bank owned by British taxpayers should be funding tar sands.
How many people in this video protesting have actually been to the shell plant?
Who are you talking about when you say destruction of lives and livelihoods?
Why dont you include the reclamation projects going on? Why dont you include the statistics about how much land is actually disturbed? Why is there no information on the services they provide to a community?
i feel sorry for the owners of the station, they must have lost out on alot of business,they make feck all money from the pumps,shell and the govt get most of it,they survive off people making additional purchases along with their petrol, the owner suffered it would have had no effect on shell
I'm mean really things are going to hell in a hurry, the world needs to come to a screeching halt and rethink everything, this is the generation that must succeed and stop the destruction before its to late
This oil will travel world wide and make a showing in your coastal area soon. Its revolting. It harms people, plant and animals. The gasses can travel many miles inland
Know your prevailing winds. Benzene has no smell. If you can smell the oil, you are breathing it in. Not good for you.
The Gulf spill is a dreadful warning about our dependency on fossil fuels, & oil companies' priorities of profit first & inability to deal with environmental disasters.
As a Canadian it is shameful to know that our government turns a blind eye while the tar sands are spewing filth into the earth's atmosphere while consuming vital resources like water and decimating large tracts of land.
It is so great to see and hear such an enthusiastic resistance against petrol driven, profit grubbing corporations. Keep it rolling cause it's going to take a lot of protests, political will and green energy to straighten out this mess.
@kogejen I was torn about the inclusion of this footage , I felt that the oil disaster footage would raise awareness and hopefully connect people into the general issues of oil pollution - hope it was'nt too distracting. Peace Fx
