climate rally

This weekend an estimated 40,000 people marched in Washington DC to support action for climate change. They gathered outside President Obama's doorstep to urge immediate rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline and energy extraction practices that threaten the environment. The Keystone XL Pipeline project would pipe some of the planet's dirtiest oil from Canada through America to be shipped overseas through the Gulf of Mexico. This tar sands oil proposal could be disastrous for our planet - producing tar sands crude that kicks out two or three times as much carbon pollution as producing conventional crude oil.
