Moving oil is a dirty business and never has that been more clear than this past month. In the past 30 days, the global oil industry has had 13 spills on three continents. And it's not just pipeline leaks. Oil has spilled offshore and on, at train derailments and during routine maintenance. In North and South America alone, more than a million gallons of oil and toxic chemicals have been spilled - enough to fill two Olympic-sized swimming pools.
"Enough is enough! How many of these accidents do we need to see before we get serious about phasing out our dependence on this dangerous industry? We have a choice to make between charting a course for our future and our children's future. Saying no to the Keystone XL, Enbridge Northern Gateway, Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline and other proposals means saying yes to safer, healthier communities and getting serious about green jobs that we can feel proud of." - Ben West, Tar Sands Campaign Director for Forest Ethics Advocacy
