Oil sands will pollute Great Lakes
The environmental impacts of Alberta's
oil sands
will not be restricted to Western Canada, researchers say,
but will extend thousands of kilometres away to the Great Lakes
, threatening water and air quality around the world's largest body of fresh water.
*****Report: How the Oil Sands Got to the Great Lakes Basin*****

Policy makers around the lakes, in both Canada and the U.S., are largely unaware that the tar sands will lead to massive industrial development in their region, and consequently have no strategy to minimize the environmental impacts.
