Hi,

Secretary Clinton is days away from making a decision which will affect America for decades to come. Her choice on whether to reject or approve plans for a giant cross-border tar sands oil pipeline will either lock us into years of dirty fossil fuels, or put the country on track to a green job, low-carbon economy.

The corporate lobbyists are circling, please take a moment now to email Secretary Clinton and urge her to do the right thing by rejecting the proposed pipeline.

Thanks!

Dear friends,

In the next few days, Secretary Hillary Clinton is due to make a critical decision on a giant cross-border oil pipeline between the US and Canada.

Her choice will affect America and the world’s climate for decades to come -- either helping put the economy on a green-job, low-carbon track, or locking in decades of dirty, inefficient fossil fuels.

Powerful oil companies are lobbying hard, and Clinton’s decision hangs in the balance. But last Friday, youth climate activists held a high profile stunt outside of the State Department urging Clinton to do the right thing and reject permission for the pipeline. Let’s support their action by flooding Secretary Clinton with  thousands of messages urging her to reject the pipeline. Send your message now:

The proposed pipeline would carry one of the dirtiest fossil fuel: oil extracted squeezed from Canada’s tar sands. Creating a barrel of tar sand oil requires destroying ancient Canadian forests to make way for extraction; using 2-4 barrels of water and loads of natural gas to clean it (the water ends up on toxic ponds); displacing communities to lay pipeline across cultural heritage sites; risking thick and toxic oil spills -- and guaranteeing increased rates of cancer from air pollution like heavy metals and sulphur given off during refinement.
 
This project is part of an infrastructure plan so huge that it will undermine our climate leadership, perpetuate our addiction to oil, pollute our air and water, threaten the Great Lakes, criss-cross the Northern Plains and Native American reservations, and lock us in to a dirty energy infrastructure for decades just when we are finally moving to the new clean energy economy. Tar sands do not fit in the new clean energy economy -- email Secretary Clinton now and urge her not to grant any permits for the Alberta Clipper pipeline or other dirty oil sands pipelines:

The stakes in the climate change fight could not be higher. By stopping projects such as this, which would lock America into decades of climate pollution, we can protect American communities and raise the chance for a global treaty that will benefit us all. Please, call Clinton today--and forward this email to friends and family to make sure she hears our message loud and clear.

With hope,

Ben, Iain, Taren, Ricken, and the Avaaz US Climate Action Factory team
