This was shot April 15th at the no tankers rally in Victoria, BC. It is time for everyone to get involved in this struggle for our coast. The Northern Gateway pipeline and tanker proposal is simply not worth it. I will not sacrifice 100′s of years of our pristine coastline and thousands of livelihoods that depend on it, for 5 years of BC jobs. Anyone that lives on this coast knows, that it’s just a bad idea. Ask any sailor, our waters are a tough sail, the thousands of rivers, inlets, and rocky shores are absolutely no place for a supertanker.

Visit notankers.ca to sign their petition.

If you have any questions on how to get involved effectively or want to do more visit dogwoodinitiative.org/no-tankers/do-more or contact Dogwood Initiative directly.

To another 100 years of tankers off our coast!

On April 22, more than one billion people around the globe will participate in Earth Day 2012 and help Mobilize the Earth™. People of all nationalities and backgrounds will voice their appreciation for the planet and demand its protection. Together we will stand united for a sustainable future and call upon individuals, organizations, and governments to do their part.

What about the costs of pollution, and the global and local problems caused by it? Who pays for those? This animated feature from the Center for Investigative Reporting calculates the carbon footprint and other “external costs” of gasoline use in the U.S.

Earth Day Network’s year-round mission is to broaden, diversify and activate the environmental movement worldwide, through a combination of education, public policy, and consumer campaigns.
