You can't hear about it from the news. You can't watch it on TV.
You can't read about it in papers. Why?
The government want to hide their crime.
With the connivance of officials Transneft is about to start its
oil pipeline's construction in the Far East.
The pipeline can't run close to BAIKAL!
The oil pipeline will not change your life for the better. It
won't raise salaries and pensions; it won't make our children
healthier. Meantime those pumping oil will enjoy bigger sums on
their bank accounts, as they do now.
However, if an accident occurs, thousands of tons of oil will be
discharged in Baikal. Then all of us - you and me, those who will
have constructed it and those who will have never heard about it -
everybody will lose the most amazing lake on the planet which is
millions years old.
It will be us who will be responsible for the loss. Because we
did not stop Transneft. We didn't say No!
Choose your tomorrow today. What your children and grandchildren
will inherit. How will you look at their eyes, if you fail to
protect those natural treasures we were given?
Come on April 21, at 17:00 to the viewing point at Vorobievy
Gory.
Bring your friends and your family with you. Every voice counts!
Together we can protect Baikal!
