Understanding the Alberta Oil Sands: Perspectives, Issues, and Actions

This comprehensive exploration of the Alberta Oil Sands delves into various viewpoints surrounding this major environmental and economic issue. Through a series of video clips, we examine the historical context, current events, and the debate over the ethics of oil extraction. Key questions include the differing opinions about the impacts of tar sands, the evidence supporting these views, and a look into the pros and cons of "ethical oil." As students, consider what actions you can take regarding this critical issue—whether in support or opposition to tar sands development.
