Vote NO to tar sands at the ‘People’s AGM’

Monday 18 April, 7-9pm, Edinburgh University

Indigenous people in Canada are fighting ‘the most destructive project on earth’ – the extraction of oil from tar sands and the building of a super-pipeline through their ancestral lands.  RBS is financing companies mining tar sands and planning the pipeline.

Hear powerful first-hand accounts of the destruction caused by tar sands extraction and the fight to stop the Enbridge pipeline, and help stop RBS making it worse with our money.

Fossil fuel fanatics, and bailed-out bank, RBS are investing our money in the most destructive project on earth; tar sands mining in Canada.  They’re fuelling climate change and trampling on human rights.

Indigenous activists from Canada joined us in protests at the RBS 2010 AGM. Watch our film, be inspired and join us in the fight for climate justice! http://www.wdm.org.uk/tarsands
