A new environmental enemy in full swing: Canada’s oil sands deposits
This is one of the most damaging aspects of human activity for our planet. That’s because fracking involves extracting oil from these sands and it actually requires using a great deal of energy and water. Not only that, but it also releases a large amount of toxic and polluting agents into the water and even the air. Oil sands are a non-conventional source of oil. They’ve become a strategic resource and, in fact, their exploitation is becoming increasingly common. That’s because conventional oil, although easier to extract, is becoming increasingly scarce.
The evidence is everywhere, but some people just can't handle it.
