Story

<p>The Alberta tar sands are the most destructive industrial project on Earth. They kill wildlife, create 3-5x the carbon of traditional oil extraction and they are creating illnesses amongst indigenous communities in Northern Alberta.</p> <p>This summer a group of People &amp; Planet activists went to visit the Beaver Lake Cree Nation - one of the communities impacted by the tar sands - and we're bringing a group of young people from Beaver Lake back to the UK with us to help build the campaign here against tar sands oil extraction.</p> <p>Help us raise the money to get the stories of those at the frontlines of the tar sands struggle heard in the UK, where some of the most active tar sands companies and investors (RBS, BP, Shell) are based!</p> <p>Thank you in advance!</p> <p>Liam</p>
