Protect the Peace-Athabasca Delta

From NRDC: In Canada's boreal forest, the Peace-Athabasca Delta is a haven for millions of migratory birds. It's no place for even more tar sands development, which is already poisoning the boreal forest's rivers and lakes. Send a message telling President Obama to say No to the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

Tell President Obama to Reject a Pipeline for the World’s Dirtiest Oil

From Friends of the Earth: Big Oil wants to double imports of toxic tar sands oil into U.S. by building a new pipeline called the Keystone XL. This pipeline would endanger the health of communities and ecosystems all along its path from Canada to the Gulf Coast of Texas. President Obama has the final say. Please join us in calling on him to reject the Keystone XL pipeline and focus on clean, safe energy alternatives.

Tell Secretary Clinton to Stop the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline

From Change.org: We have started to take a step forward towards a clean energy economy, but Canadian tar sands oil and the Keystone XL pipeline would be two steps backwards. We can end oil dependence in a generation, but only if we resist Big Oil’s call to invest billions more in dirty fuel infrastructure. Stop the Keystone XL dirty tar sands oil pipeline!

Water and Oil Don’t Mix: Stop the TransCanada Pipeline

From BOLD Nebraska: Don’t let TransCanada take advantage of our state. The pipeline is NOT a done deal. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has not yet decided if she will grant a presidential permit to TransCanada. We all know, it’s not “if” a leak happens, its “when” it happens. The recent Gulf Coast spill shows mistakes are made. Your action can help stop the pipeline from polluting our water and land.

Oppose the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline

From Sierra Club: On April 16th, the Department of State officially began the permitting process for the Keystone XL pipeline, which will pump the world's dirtiest fuel into America. Tar sands clear-cut critical forests, pollute our air and water and undermine America's burgeoning clean energy economy. In the wake of the BP Gulf oil spill, we have the opportunity to stop the toxic tar sands pipeline and prevent another oil disaster.
