No-nonsense Canadian documentary about the horrors of tar sands extraction in Alberta and the damage being done 
to local communities as well as the pristine arboreal forest.
Wednesday 5th May, 5:45pm at the GFT
Followed by a short discussion on the issues and what you can do to make a difference.

If you didn’t get a chance to come and join the action on the day of the RBS AGM, here’s a glimpse of us on Reporting Scotland on the BBC…
And here’s Claire talking about the campaign on Radio Scotland…
Those lovely people at RBS called the police about us, but unfortunately we don’t have a picture of the two very friendly PCs who came to tell us we weren’t doing anything illegal. We’re planning to do this stunt again elsewhere in Glasgow, so watch this space or contact us to get involved.
Come and join us in taking action outside the Royal Bank of Scotland in Sauchiehall Street, to coincide with the RBS AGM
Wednesday 28th April, 12:30-1:30pm
RBS, Sauchiehall Street (near Buchanan Galleries)
As taxpayers, we own 84% of RBS, so we’ll be asking the people of Glasgow whether they want to invest their share of the bank in the Royal Bank of Shame, or the Royal Bank of Sustainability
For more info about the issues and to see us in action, see this article from the Sunday Herald… http://bit.ly/9v3Fu3
