Citation preview
Justice Friday "Making My Voice Be Heard"
“There comes a time when you need to take a stand. When sending letters and
signing petitions isn’t enough. When together we must say,
“enough is enough — not on our watch.”
That time is now. We must act together for the health of our planet, our air, our
water, our climate, and our children.”
Bill Mckibben
Josh Fox for the Tar Sands Action video
Oscar nominated director Josh Fox (Gasland) gives his powerful support to the Tar Sands Action, a two week sit-in at the White House to show President
Obama he has the support of the people to stand up to Big Oil.
-Destruction of more boreal forest
-Adding huge additional amounts of CO2 to atmosphere and accelerating the effects of Climate Change
-Pollution of local watersheds affecting health and subsistence of local indigenous cultures.
-Likely numerous pipeline leaks and spills affecting pristine areas of US, important rivers, Ogallalla acquifer, farmland, etc….
-Delaying our transition to a cleaner energy future, and sending a signal that it is OK to continue exploiting unconventional dirty fossil fuels.
