Enbridge Green or Brown?

Enbridge has a red and orange-y logo, but reaches for that bit of green. On its website, it even lays claim to going "Towards a Neutral Footprint." So, how, exactly, does ramming a tar sands pipeline down the throats of British Columbians fit into that vision?

That should be the question that Enbridge employees are asking themselves today after a large and diverse coalition of BC voices joined together to reject its Gateway pipeline proposal.

If Enbridge is listening, even just a little bit, it would pull the plug and instead try to live up to its green rhetoric. You can't traffic in dirty oil and expect the world to believe you are trying to do the right thing.
