Protect the Planet

Protect the Planet and allies have been on the move this winter. Now help us spring into action! November to December saw us at Pípsell, where we resisted Trans Mountain construction in solidarity with members of the Stk'emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation.

Big news from Burnaby! The city has voted to join a class action lawsuit with other municipalities in B.C to make big oil corporations pay their fair share of the climate costs impacting cities. Thank you so much to those on council who voted in favour 1/4

This is a story that will keep on giving until some serious action is taken to protect communities on the frontlines of climate change and increasing oil and gas emissions. nationalobserver.com/2024/05/09/new… @CAPE_ACME @CANE_ACIIE @PPSTMX1 @JohnVaillant @ElizabethMay @picardonhealth

BC is not prepared to protect public health or the ecosystem if a TMX tanker spills in Vancouver. We know such accidents happen and how devastating they are. No more tankers on our coast! @CAPE_ACME @CANE_ACIIE @PPSTMX1 @JohnVaillant @ElizabethMay vicnews.com/news/vancouver….

Disgusting. "Shell has received $777 million from the federal and provincial governments and $406 million in revenue from carbon offsets" cbc.ca/news/climate/s…

Trans Mountain X pipeline soon to carry oil. Could Indigenous Rights case impact operations?: thenarwhal.ca/trans-mountain… This pipeline expansion is beyond stupid. The government’s lack of insight and projection on issues is staggering. @PPSTMX1 @CAPE_ACME @CANE_ACIIE @ECOWARRIORSS

The directors of Yintah (amazing film about Wet'suwet'en resistance to the Coastal Gaslight pipeline) today called out Hot Docs' sponsor Scotiabank for financing the company that built the pipeline, TC Energy, and also Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems. #HotDocs24

I know what Exxon could do to reduce the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. 🙋🏻‍♂️

There’s no question: the lights are going out on the fossil fuel era. Delaying tactics from the fossil fuel industry can’t change that. Misinformation, distortion, and spin can’t change that – no matter how many billions of dollars are thrown at them.

Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) is scheduled to start May 1, despite insufficient safety protocols, insufficient consultation with FN, & incomplete fibre optic leak detection system. Email your MP to defer the start until these measures are implemented! x.com/petervranj/sta…

"[E]missions from the oilsands are under reported by as much as 65 per cent, releasing an estimated 31 million tonnes more carbon dioxide than reported by industry programs." nnsl.com/news/albertas-…

Here's why the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG project is a carbon bomb that must be stopped. Video with my take on what may be one of the biggest climate stories in Canada in 2024. youtu.be/Yxppya1NOJ8?fe… via @YouTube

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: buff.ly/3P85KHU That's $19.2 billion per day, $799 million per hour, $13.3 million every minute. The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

Today marks a big step forward in the climate fight. We applaud @EPA for the new rule to cut US power plant emissions and speed the shift from dirty #fossiluels to clean energy. We also thank the thousands who took action with @ClimateReality to support this critical rule. bit.ly/3QeyZcg
