Save the Rupert River

This
initiative was started by three Cree communities in the James Bay area
– Nemaska, Waskaganish and Chisasibi which have the most to lose from
Hydro-Quebec’s large scale hydro electric project to dam and divert the
Rupert River. It is a project which has divided the Cree nation.

Contrary to popular belief, hydro power is NOT green.

This web site details the mercury poisoning, greenhouse gas emissions
such as methane gas, worsening air quality, massive flooding of the
boreal forest, the loss of more than 70% of the water from the Rupert
River – all so that Hydro-Quebec can sell more dirty power to the
United States.
