Quest'azione di greenpeace riguarda le sabbie bitumose che il canada vuole sfriuttare(shell).

In un posto nel mondo così meraviglioso guardate che cosa accade.

Solo grazie alle azioni di Greenpeace, le immagini arrivano fino a noi.

Quark e le altre trasmissioni che dovrebbero occuparsi di ambiente non ci fanno vedere.

Greenpeace activists stop climate crime in the tar sands

On September 15th 25 activists entered the Albian mining operation in the tar sands of northern Alberta, Canada and staged a 31 hour occupation - successfully shutting down the entire operation.

They were there because developing the tar sands - one of largest remaining deposits of unconventional oil in the world - is pushing us towards runaway climate change. Learn more and support our campaign to stop the tar sands.

During the action activists sent updates and links to a live video stream through Twitter. Are you following us?
The last stand - for our rice!

In a matter of a few weeks a major EU decision - on whether genetically engineered (GE) rice can enter Europe - will be made that could set a dangerous precedent. It could mean that GE rice will begin to be commercially grown, not just in Europe, but in the US, Asia and all over the world.

We are very close to reaching our goal of 200,000 signatures on our GE rice petition. Keep GE rice from ending up on your dinner plate - sign the petition, or - pass it on to friends and family. Every signature helps!

Need to explain to your family or friends why GE is a problem? Or not so sure yourself? Watch this.
