Climate Action at Total Refinery in France
Greenpeace carries out an action at the Total’s refinery site in Gonfreville-l'Orcher, to protest against the oil company's decision to invest more than 8 billion Euros in tar sands oil production in Alberta, Canada.
The tar sands consist of a tarry bitumen mixed with shale and sand from which oil is extracted through a long, expensive and complex process. The explosive growth of this process has huge environmental costs, damaging land, air, water, forests, and the climate.
