H2Oil Film Showing and Discussion
Tuesday, October 19 at 5:30 PM
Social Forum at University of Idaho, OXFAM Club University of Idaho, University of Idaho Environmental Club, Northern Rockies Rising Tide, and Friends of the Clearwater will be sponsoring a showing of the documentary “H2Oil” Oct. 19 at 5:30 p.m. in the College of Natural Resources, Room 10.
The documentary is about the tar sands oil project occurring in Alberta, Canada and how that project is affecting the global environment and downstream Canadian First Nation communities. There is a current proposal to ship tar sands oil processing equipment up Highway 12 in Idaho, through Montana and into Canada. The issue has been front page news in the local papers all summer and there is a lawsuit pending in the state’s Supreme Court right now over whether or not permits can be legally issued for their transportation on our state highways.
Members of the student and community organizations sponsoring this event will conduct a Q & A session following the film.
This event is free and open to all.
