Environmental protection groups are concerned over the pollution of water due to tar sands mining.
The Sierra Club on its website is inviting supporters to join in sending in a letter to PepsiCo to urge the company not to contaminate water from oil-bearing tar sands.
The letter addressed to PepsiCo CEO, Indra Nooyi, draws attention to the alarming incidence of cancer in areas where water is affected by tar sands. The letter reads:
“Local indigenous communities have reported unusually high rates of rare types of cancer associated with these toxins, along with fish with severe deformities.”
Last year in October, RTCC published a story about cancer warning arising from carcinogens created by Canada’s oil, gas, and tar sands.
What an overwhelming explosive article. This news should be posted on all outlet stores across the globe.
Thanks Victor! More often than not one or more than one big business is involved in destroying environment and threatening life of people and animals. Ultimately it all boils down to greed – the root of most evil in our times.
