The pressure to permit deep-sea mining is growing β€” putting Indigenous & coastal communities at risk.

A new article details how The Metals Company is pushing extraction despite scientific uncertainty and why a moratorium is urgently needed. https://bit.ly/4kVKVhd @culturalsurvival.org

Our urban forests are irreplaceable! Trees bring shade, clean air, flood protection, climate benefits & health benefits. Toronto City Council will be voting soon on a plan for stronger private trees protection.

🌳 Speak up to help make sure this plan gets approved: https://loom.ly/sWXPztc 🌲

Alberta landowners react to well cleanup crisis Rural landowners speak out about Alberta’s multi-billion dollar well cleanup crisis

Landowners like Dwight extended partnership to an industry that fundamentally misled and betrayed them, and that has been let off the hook from some of their legal cleanup obligations by a government that appears too cozied-up to polluters to make them #CleanUpTheirMess.

Instead, Dwight's family got left with a methane-emitting hole that pollutes the air and land around them, lowers their property value, and puts their health at risk.Β 

This is just one out of tens of thousands of similar stories cropping up across #Alberta.

Dwight is a rural landowner in Two Hills, #Alberta.

12 years ago, he was forced to host a gas well on his land, on the condition that the industry fully close and clean it up when the well stopped producing.

That never happened.
