McKibben Enbridge protest reported in the Vancouver Observer
March 26, 2012
Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben joined members of the First Nations to march against the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline.
From the article:
Led by Aboriginal leaders and the environmental group ForestEthics, the peaceful protest at the Vancouver Art Gallery attracted a large, enthusiastic crowd reminiscent of Occupy Vancouver. They came to hear heartfelt addresses from environmentalists and speakers like 350.org founder Bill McKibben, who joined chiefs from coastal BC First Nations in thanking supporters for their dedication to the cause.
“Along with protecting this most beautiful coastline, and along with protecting all the people and other creatures that have been here for so long, you also have the great honour and the great burden of having to help protect the rest of the planet,” McKibben said.
