Here are some pictures from this Tar Sands Zombie Walk/Protest I did yesterday. We marched downtown along one of our busier streets that was closed down for the Car Free festival.
If you would like to discuss the tar sands, or would like more information, I would be happy to discuss with you or point you some resources exclaim
The Tar Sands are the excavation of oil from soils. The Alberta Tar Sands are even more devastating than normal oil extractions from soils because of the even more toxic waste produced. This waste has been put into tailing ponds which leak into rivers and wildlife, killing all sorts of wild life and people.
Due to the toxicity escaping into rivers, many First Nations communities downstream are suffering massive health consequences, including a dramatic decrease in male births, rare cancers become a lot more common, and many diseases that have been considered controlled but are now pandemic for these areas. Furthermore, this waste is now being exported all over the world for other communities to deal with it.
