Rainforest Action Network: Tar Sands

Tar Sands

RAN’s Freedom From Oil Campaign is about breaking America’s oil addiction cold turkey. Cheap oil supplies are running out. Oil companies are pushing deadly plans to hook the global economy on what’s left at the bottom of the barrel. Breaking oil addiction means quitting now and investing in a future our children will be proud of.

Join RAN and a growing chorus of environmental groups from around the world in opposing this devastating project.
