Our Common Good

jpegartifacts:

My friend, who is an environmental analyst, visited the tar sands of Canada, which would be the source of the Keystone Pipeline, and he remarked on two things:

  • the pyramids of sulfur made out of the post-extraction refuse
  • the area of forest which has been clearcut, which equals the area of Florida

Makes me sick to think about this destruction….
