Tar Sands Exposed - Exploring the Human and Environmental Costs

Description

Tar sands oil is one of the most extreme forms of energy. The extraction, production, transport and use of this petroleum product has unacceptable toxic impacts, both on environmental and moral levels. In the context of climate change, tar sands oil is a “carbon bomb” as destructive a force as any known to date, with the risk of literally making the planet uninhabitable. Pollution—and solutions—will be considered in the 350 Maine developed speakers tour across New England from January 24th - February 1st. “Tar Sands Exposed: Exploring the Human and Environmental Costs” provides an opportunity to engage around the complex realities of tar sands oil—and to commit to effective responses to the risk of this extreme energy product.

Three primary speakers (each with their own unique perspective on the Canadian source of tar sands oil in Alberta) share their insights:

Shelley Kath, Senior Consultant, High Energy Fuels
Crystal Lameman- of the Beaver Lake Cree Nation.
Garth Lenz- an international award winning environmental photojournalist, whose work has been featured in National Geographic.
