Grey Goose,

Cool name!

Wonder if Greenpeace has any idea how many ducks and other birds are killed every year by buildings, feral cats or even hunters. Millions and I do know something about the problem.

The 500 ducks killed in the tailing pond while tragic is not the point for Greenpeace. The point is "world's dirtiest oil project.".

This is laughable! Suncor is best they could do? They are getting lazy, plus Canada is so much more fun to hang around.

Want to know where the dirtiest oil in the world is?

Try Lake Maracaibo, Venezula

Or the Niger Delta

"Niger Delta bears brunt after 50 years of oil spills"

Up to 1.5 million tons of oil, 50 times the pollution unleashed in the Exxon Valdez tanker disaster, has been spilt in the ecologically precious Niger Delta over the past 50 years, it was revealed yesterday.

A panel of independent experts who travelled to the increasingly tense and lawless region said damage to the fragile mangrove forests over the past 50 years was tantamount to a catastrophic oil spill occurring every 12 months in what is one of the world's most important ecosystems.

As well as threatening rare species including primates, fish, turtles and birds, the pollution is destroying the livelihoods of many of the 20 million people living there, damaging crops and fuelling the upsurge in violence, it was claimed.
