Tell Utah to keep its tar sands in the ground!

tar sands

The now infamous Alberta tar sands wreak havoc not only on Canada’s land, people and wildlife, but the global climate at large.

The United States is next on the list of tar sands victims. Utah’s Division of Oil, Gas & Mining has approved the first ever tar sands mine in the U.S. directly adjacent to Canyonlands National Park.

Let’s nip this nightmare in the bud.

Demand Utah’s director of Oil, Gas and Mining John Baza protect our national parks from the dirtiest oil extraction method on Earth.

Canada’s Earth Energy Resources, the company that is trying to mine tar sands in Utah, expects to produce 2,000 barrels of crude bitumen per day from this horrific mining project. If Earth Energy Resources gets its way the tar sands min project would occupy 213 acres within the Colorado River watershed.

We can’t allow the precedent of tar sands extraction to be set in America. These stakes are simply too high to live with.

Email John Baza today and tell him to keep tar sands mining out of Utah.

Thank you for helping to prevent the tar sands industry from getting a toehold in the United States.
