Utah Tar Sands Resistance

Utah Tar Sands Resistance
  • Drastic increases to greenhouse gases (up to three times as great as those produced by a typical oil refinery).*
  • Twice the amount of water that is needed in a municipality/city can be used for oil mining.*
  • Water becoming so toxic that special canons have to be used to keep waterfowl from landing in it.*
  • Significant devastation of huge parcels of land and its biodiversity.*
  • Projected significant job loss to Utah's billion dollar tourism industry.*

Stop Tar Sands Oil extraction in Utah.....and everywhere.
