    Athabasca Tar Sands Duck Mount Magnet

    Athabasca Tar Sands Duck Mount Magnet

    A duck mount featuring an oiled, dead Mallard duck, earth moving equipment, and a skull and crossbones. Text reading "STOP THE TAR SANDS" also appears. Woe to any waterfowl landing in a toxic tailings pond in Alberta where a extremely viscous petroleum is extracted from tar sands (aka oil sands) with horrible environmental effects. The Alberta tar sands consist of heavy crude oil mixed with sand, clay and bitumen. Extraction entails burning natural gas to generate enough heat and steam to melt the oil out of the sand. As many as five barrels of water are needed to produce a single barrel of oil. Every day millions of gallons of water are contaminated with chemicals, including arsenic, copper, lead and zinc, to basically separate tar sands oil (called diluted bitumen) from the sand. But the water is so contaminated after this process that they have to store it in toxic sludge pits called tailings ponds. It is estimated that 3 millions gallons of contaminated water leaks from tailing ponds into Alberta's Athabasca River, and the surrounding landscape, every day. Please say no to tar sands.

    I absolutely love this magnet featuring one of my favourite characters, Beatrix, from my favourite comic Breaking Cat News. The saying on this magnet is timeless! Printing quality is superb.

    I ordered thinking this was a New Zealand site (had a .co.nz address) not realising it was shipping from the UK. Have had to use other things for xmas presents as it's now Jan 2nd and they've still not arrived. I'll tell you if it ever gets here!
