With high oil prices there are huge profits being made, while the tar sands create a significant amount of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. The worst part of this process, IMO, is that both natural gas and water are used to process the oil. That means using three natural resources to make refined oil. The only end to this, I fear, is when the water runs out and people won't be able to live and work in the area. More here: http://oilsandstruth.org/ Ah yes, Canada’s dirty big secret.

This time they reckon the combination of modern technology and oil price make it a viable proposition. I was listening to this report on the radio last night and wondering how my very green, very eco-friendly friends Jarche and Downes would respond to this. I've never even been to Canada and it make my stomach drop in dismay.

Those of us who work independently have many advantages. The option of skiing, walking, or meeting with friends when we want to adds richness to our lives. We can also work at our own pace, whenever and wherever we choose. Thanks for this show and tell reminder. A great photograph and an excellent message.
