Sign the RePower Alberta Petition!

Many communities in Alberta are feeling the heat from a variety different resource extractive industries - coal, oil, gas, tar sands, nuclear, etc. For the most part these industries come under the guise as energy and job providers, but in reality the burden of the toxic legacy they will leave on the land, water, and community far outweighs any short-term job benefits. In Alberta, oil and gas extraction actually produces the least amount of jobs per dollar invested compared to health care, education, construction and transportation.

But how can you we provide economic opportunities for community members while at the same time protect the integrity of the land, the water and the natural ecosystems. 

A green, clean and just economy is the answer.
