Across BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan, methane from oil and gas facilities is being released into the atmosphere through flaring, venting, and leaks.
In addition to being a major cause of climate change, methane contributes to the formation of pollutants that cause asthma and other respiratory diseases, and increases the risk of preterm births and strokes.
Methane pollution is happening within our communities, often without public awareness. In some instances, these emissions are occurring close to daycares and schools, sometimes within just a kilometer. This harmful practice must be stopped.
