Tar Sands Action and Landscapes at Suncor Facility

Greenpeace activists deploy a 30 x 7 metre floating banner reading "Dying for Climate Leadership" on the Athabasca river between a Suncor upgrader and mining site in the heart of the Canadian tar sands. Another team of activists shut down two huge bitumen conveyor belts on the mine site. The action is sending a message to world leaders that the tar sands are a global climate crime, and must be stopped.
