IT HAS BEEN EXACTLY 24 YEARS SINCE THE EXXON VALDEZ BIG SPILL!
Here¹s some postings from BC:
Art Sterritt with Coastal First Nations says the catastrophic Exxon Valdez
spill in Alaska over two decades ago is proof that massive oil tankers don't
belong in B.C. waters because the state is still trying to clean up.
Sterritt is launching a TV and social media campaign to air on networks
along the proposed pipeline route to warn the public about the potential
threat to B.C.'s environment. He says a spill like the Exxon Valdez disaster
would cost taxpayers approximately $21.4 billion to clean up and destroy
thousands of jobs in the fishing and tourism industries. Enbridge, the
company behind Northern Gateway, has launched a multi-million dollar ad
campaign of its own in support of the pipeline. First Nations group launches
anti-pipeline ads on 24th anniversary of Alaskan oil spill
