Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Tar Sands Tar Sands What Is Tar Sand? What Is Tar Sand? Tar sand is one of the most dirtiest and most destructive form of energy on the planet. It is made up of a mixture of sand, clay or other minerals,water, and bitumen. Tar sands have a huge impact on climate change and global warming.To make things worse,the tar sand population in Canada is quickly increasing. If we want to stop the oil sands we need to do it together! Why Is This A Problem? Why Is This A Problem? Canada economic fate relies on the Tar Sands exports. Balanced economy is what is needed to ensure Canada's longterm health. More tar sands equal to more forest leveled, and more water lost from the Athabasca River. Resource intensive process burns so much energy that the tar sands are Canada's fastest growing source of global warming pollution. So much pollution If you think thats bad, hear this, currently 240,000 jobs in Canada are directly or indirectly linked to the oil sands. Canada transporting this dirty fuel to the U.S. is dangerous because the pipes could break, so lets think and pause for a minute. Think about our community, the environment.

Lets help stop TAR SANDS TODAY! How Can The Problem Be Solved? How Can The Problem Be Solved? Who Is Responsible? Who Is Responsible? Tar Sand is a nonrenewable energy source. It is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are not very good for our environment. There are also plans to double the production over the next few years. Where governmentregulation does exist it permits a growth, not a contraction of the problem. Between 2000, and 2020, oil sands development has the potential to generate at least CAD $123 billion in royalty and tax renevues for Canada's federal and provincial governments. double click to changethis text!

New rules are being consideredwhich will permit a 60% growthin toxic volatile organic carbons from the tar sands by 2015. There are different about tar sand. For an example, I think that protected areas should be developed and co-managed the Aboriginal Peoples. The website, Forest-Ethics, thinks that when it comes to protecting North America from the tar sands, there motto is ''We will not be silenced'' Ways to get rid of the tar sands is to use electric cars or use solar energy. Electric cars are more efficient than gas powered cars and contribute fewer toxins to our air. Solar energy is an unlimited source that, once installed, emits no pollution. The levels of government involved is Federal and Provincial. The Federal government can talk to the other countries aboutit, thats called International Relations. Provincialties to it because of the Natural Resources.Since it involves two governments its shared.Fixing the oil sands might be very costly butits for the best. Hybrid Car
