Do you know how fracking (hydraulic fracturing) for natural gas is connected to the Tar Sands?
Find out about the systemic solutions the 1% and Big Oil and Gas don’t want us to talk about!
Come and bring your friends to this important meeting. Learn about the links between the tar sands, fracking, pipelines and tankers and the alternatives to their destructive impacts.
