Stop the Tar Sands

Four Greenpeace activists suspended their bodies 42 metres over the North Saskatchewan River today to hang two 7 x 15 metre banners from the High Level Bridge in Edmonton. The banners depict the areas under current and projected tar sands development with the message "Stop the Tar Sands." They hang in full view of the Alberta legislature, which opened today.

Virtually everything in out lives is produce with petroleum products. And you little Toyota prius causes more pollution to produce then a gas or diesel will ever create in production and operation in the life span of a normal vehicle. Sure it gets better fuel mileage, but what about all of those nasty chemicals in those batteries. Where will they end up?

Wow is that jacket fleece lined, are those nylon ropes holding those dudes up, are you wearing acrilic glasses, did you brush your teeth, are you taking video with a camera. What, all of those products are made with petroleum. This video could not be made possible with out oil.
