Tar sands – resources

We have been campaigning to stop tar sands expansion since 2009. Here you'll find some reports and resources produced as part of our campaign activities.

Our goal

We will continue with our Clean Energy Revolution campaign, which seeks to end the use of unconventional fossil fuels and inspire community energy growth.
