Tufts of prairie grasses are emerging throughout Spirit Sands, a stretch of dunes steeped in local lore in a popular nature park in Manitoba province. The sands cover only about four square kilometres (1.54 square miles) and in some parts, entire mounds have been completely overgrown. Today, this small patch is the only...

EcoWatch: Big Oil is spending millions of dollars to try to greenwash the tar sands, Canadas fastest growing source of greenhouse gas pollution. A new report, Reality Check: Water and the Tar Sands, sets the record straight on industry claims that misrepresent the tar sands industrys use of the Athabasca River. The report counters claims by industry and industry-affiliated groups about the use of freshwater from the Athabasca River, the toxicity of tailings, the amount of tailings leaking into the watershed...
