July 17th: International “Stop the Tar Sands!” Day

A call-out from European campaigners, via Facebook –

The tar sands of Alberta, Canada, are one of the world’s largest and dirtiest energy projects. Even though European oil companies and banks are financing this climate crime, the tar sands are relatively unknown in Europe. It is time the destructiveness of the tar sands receives the attention it deserves.

We are organizing demonstrations on July 17th in support of shutting down the tar sands for good. Join us and help us raise awareness about this climate disaster!
