Suncor should be boycotted for this. #DontMineMcClelland #wetlands

Peatlands are amazing carbon sinks. According to UNEP’s Global Peatland Assessment: The State of the World’s Peatlands, “despite only covering around 3-4% of the planet’s land surface, they contain up to one-third of the world’s soil carbon.”

Currently, in Northern Alberta, Suncor plans to expand their Fort Hills oil sands project into a stunning patterned fen, the McClelland Lake Wetland Complex. Their plan is to build a wall that divides the wetland into two. They will mine half of the wetland, while guaranteeing the other half remains undisturbed. This is farcical. The experiment is bound to fail.
