If you live in America and you care about people’s water supply then this video is for you.
There is a proposed pipeline expansion that will bring nearly 1 million tar sands per day from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin. It’s known as the Line 3 Pipeline. The pipeline will be carrying several kinds of tar sands crude. which is a carbon intensive oil which contains 37% more carbon than conventional oil, giving it a far greater impact on climate change.
To illustrate the pipeline would have the climate cost equivalent to 50 coal power plants!
When tar sands spilled the heavy oil mixes with the sediment and sinks to the bottom of the river or lake making it very difficult to clean up.
And the company Enbridge has a long history of spills, averaging one oil spill per week for the last 15 years.
Pipeline three also violates several treaties with the Ojibwe people.
All of this and not a cent of that pipeline will go to the American economy. There are links in my bio to help educate you further as well as where to show up for protests in Minnesota.
Fyi, there are protests going on over this RIGHT NOW.
This what they are fighting to protect:
And all the wildlife that lives there. The millions of people & ecosystems that rely on the freshwater of the Mississippi, Red Lake, and every other body of natural water that Line 3 crosses.
They’re protesting for you. So you can keep having a world to live in, so you can continue to have access to clean water. You should join them. Share this post. Spread awareness. Contact your congressppl, senators, and popular influencers. Demand they call for a stop of Line 3’s construction.
Realized I hadn’t posted the map with the treaty lines, yet
This is how blatant their disregard is for the treaties. For us. For water.
