Oil sands | Be a Seed for Change

With the movement for clean energy growing stronger every day, the last thing we need is more oil pipelines. Especially when those pipelines are filled with oil from Canada’s dirty tar sands.

Citigroup doesn’t see it that way. Since 2008 Citi has raised more than $14 billion for the pipeline industry—more than any other bank. One of Citi’s biggest clients in the sector is TransCanada—the same company now proposing the infamous KeystoneXL pipeline to connect Canada’s tar sands to Gulf Coast oil refineries.

Guess what though? You can change the way bankers do business, even at Citi, just by connecting one-on-one to share your concerns.

Make a difference in all of our futures by picking up the phone today and calling a Citi banker.

This is no email petition, we’re actually putting you on the phone with the bankers who need to know about Citi’s financing of fossil fuels so they can help Citi change course. http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3fOkJ%2FhFUlOnsTh8BH%2FJrZeWKDLLHRA3

The KeystoneXL pipeline would more than triple oil imports from the tar sands—effectively erasing the benefits of fuel efficiency standard s designed to break our crippling addiction to oil. Citi should clearly be financing our clean energy future, not outdated carbon-intensive fossil fuels.

Help us contact more than 2000 Citi employees today and enlist them in creating our clean energy future. It’ll make you feel great!

Tell Utah to keep its tar sands in the ground!

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.
