In Canada (B.C. specifically) they are proposing to make a pipeline (they call it the Enbridge Northgate Project). Now here is some of the huge issues with that, that they don't really like people to focus on:
-It's 1700 Km of pipeline from Alberta Oil Sands to B.C.'c northern coast.
-It has potential to wreak havoc on Canada's most untouched wilderness
-It will cross an estimated 1000 salmon-bearing and freshwater streams
-It will cross mountains
-Go through rainforests
-It will go through First Nations territories
This is just a small list of the issues with this pipeline. I haven't even scraped the surface! This hurts me, because not only do I care for our environment and the animals in it, but I want my children to grow up and have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this country and elsewhere, without selfish industry ruining it. Take a stand with me by signing these 2 petitions! They are different from each other, so please sign them both! We have to be the voice for the voiceless. If our planet could talk, it wouldn't want this!
