Alberta Creates Easy Online Access to Oil Sands Environmental Data

摘要

Alberta has taken steps to provide easier access to detailed information about the environmental impact of its oil sands industry — creating an online "information portal" with project-level data about pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions. The new portal-set up within the Albert Environment and Water website-is part of the Canadian province's broader effort to bolster its reputation for environmental stewardship and counter attacks on the oil sands industry by activist groups (OD Nov.11'11).
