GREENSENCE Environmental hasn't added a story.
In January 2016 the most important water case in Canada will
be heard
by the
Supreme Court of Canada
Why is this important to us
?
Imagine for a moment, turning on your tap and not
being able to drink the water. Imagine having your skin
burn after taking a shower or not being able to provide water for your
animals because overnight your water supply became contaminated by a
drilling company fracking in your vicinity. These aren’t scenarios
many of us think about, but for scientist Jessica Ernst, and all who
have had their water contaminated by Big Oil, it’s a daily concern.
Reminiscent of Erin Brokovich’s battle with Pacific Power in the early 90s, Jessica Ernst is embroiled in Canada’s version of the David and Goliath story. She has been in a legal battle over for over 8 years suing Encana Corp and Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) for turning a blind eye when her well water and that of her town of Rosebud Alberta was contaminated.
This historic case has gained international attention because a decision allowing her legal case against AER to go ahead in Alberta could bring about major changes in the way the petroleum industry operates in this country and worldwide. All eyes will be on Ernst and her legal team.
GREENSENCE Environmental has launched this
fundraising appeal to help Jessica with her legal expenses and to
support and thank her for her unwavering stand on this important
issue. Jessica's fight is our fight.
WATER IS LIFE - Safe Water is worth
fighting for.
