Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page!
We're a group of UK students from the People & Planet network, who will be travelling to Alberta, Canada this summer to witness the impacts of 'the most destructive project on Earth', the Alberta tar sands, as well as their impacts on local First Nations communities in the area.
We'll be staying with the Beaver Lake Cree Nation, who have invited us to take part in their annual pow wow festivities, and tour some of the extraction sites in the area, hearing about the ways the oil industry has impacted their health and traditional way of life.
We will then be returning to the UK to raise awareness of the tar sands as a global climate crime, and help put pressure on UK investors - including our own unis - to divest from such a devastating project.
But we need your help to make it happen! Please contribute whatever you can, or help share this link with others who might be able to part with a bit of money for this critical project.
We aim to offer thanks in a range of ways, so visit our individual donations pages to see what different contributions will receive as gifts for their support.
