Tailings pond at the Syncrude mine
The tailings pond at the Syncrude mine north of Fort McMurray,Alberta,Canada. Tailings ponds in the tar sands are unlined and leach toxic chemicals into the surrounding environment. In addition,thousands of birds a year are killed when they land on the oil covered waste water lakes. The tar sands are the largest industrial project on the planet,and the world's most environmentally destructive. The synthetic oil produced from them is 3 times more carbon intensive than conventional oil supplies,a disaster for the climate. They are responsible for the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet. Second only to the amazon Rainforest. They produce millions of litres of highly polluted water every day which leaches out into the Athabasca river
