Free Film Screening: H2Oil

Mention oil pollution and BP's disastrous oil gusher will be uppermost in most people's minds right now, but the energy-intensive - and hugely lucrative - tar sands operations in Western Canada have wreaked environmental disaster with cancer hotspots among the human population and long-term degradation of a huge swathe of once pristine land and water. As with the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, H2Oil also reveals how corporations, governments, and scientists have passed the buck of responsibility. The Co-operative society is giving free tickets to the film to members.
