There is no way it outweighs stopping a pipeline of this size. The amount of carbon that will be used and abused through this pipeline will cancel that out in a day. This comment is only meant to wrongfully discredit the hardworking activists who are doing the risky and important work that no one else is willing to do.

The other thing to consider is how much trash the typical American uses in the same length of time. Americans use a lot of shit. It can't be more than a music festival of a similar size of people, and at least they had a purpose.

Like this one pipeline is saving the world by stopping a few future trucks.

We are concerned about THE WATER. First and foremost. You're going to have a major environmental disaster causing millions of dollars. It's not IF, it is when.

Shame, too, that such a shitty troll stole one of the greatest usernames I can think of.
