June 29: No Tar Sands Campaign Kick-Off

Thought oil was bad enough already? Tar sands are worse.

Tar sands are the dirtiest fuel on the planet and are currently destroying land the size of Florida in Canada. Now, Canadian company Earth Energy Resources (EER) wants to bring there here to Utah. But we still have time to stop them.

Although the Department of Oil, Gas and Mining has approved EER’s permit to build the first commercial tar sands mine in the country, they still need to finalize environmental permits and raise money for construction. So, Peaceful Uprising is working to stop those permits and build public opposition to the mine to scare off investors.

Join Peaceful Uprising for our No Tar Sands campaign kick-off and find out how you can help keep tar sands out of Utah.

John Weisheit, the Colorado Riverkeeper, and Juliana Williams, No Tar Sands Organizer Extraordinaire, introduce the campaign and lead discussion of how we can work together to protect Utah from the sticky menace that is tar sands.
