67 deer, 27 black bears, 31 red foxes - these are just a few of the wildlife species killed by tar sands oil production in Canada. The proposed tar sands oil pipeline would run this dirty fuel straight through America’s heartland, and it must be stopped.
Tell Secretary of State Clinton about the dangers of building a tar sands oil pipeline through pristine American wilderness.
Tar sands oil is one of the world’s dirtiest fuels and its production is a huge threat to wildlife, often leaving behind toxic lakes so big they can be seen from space.
In Canada, other wildlife casualties reported by tar sands oil companies include moose, muskrats, beavers, voles, martens, wolves and bats. And we’re pretty sure that the cost to wildlife has been much higher than is being reported.
Tell Secretary Clinton »
Support our efforts »
Alert your friends »
Right now, activists like you are attending hearings and summits to speak out against this dirty oil pipeline, and the State Department is paying attention. In the last week, more than 13,000 people sent messages to the State Department and it just announced it would extend the comment period. Momentum is growing and we need your voice to help us keep up the pressure.
Tell Secretary Clinton we can’t afford to let this dangerous and dirty pipeline be built in America.
Besides clear-cutting forests and polluting our air and water, allowing the pipeline into the U.S. would make it harder to solve the global warming crisis by undermining our burgeoning clean energy economy.
TransCanada wants this pipeline to go through unspoiled water sources like the Neches River in East Texas, the Yellowstone River in Montana, and lands that drain into the Ogallala aquifer.
Speak up now to protect American wilderness and wildlife.
Tar sands oil puts American communities and wildlife populations at risk, and the pipeline is wrong for our country.
Sincerely,
Julia Marden
