Using tax-payers money, RBS is helping to finance the ridiculously polluting, carbon-intensive extraction of tar sands. Thousands of lives and livelihoods are under threat from French oil giant Total’s plans to mine tar sands in Melaky, one of the poorest regions in Madagascar.
Come and hear Holly Rakotondralambo, toxic pollution & health researcher for VOARISOA Observatoire Madagascar, speak about the threats to the people and biodiversity of Madagascar from the tar sands industry.
Public talk. Boyd Orr Building, University of Glasgow, 6-8pm, 23 May, free entry
