  • CANADA ALBERTA ALBIAN SANDS 11MAY07 - Caterpillar 793 heavy haulage truck at the Shell Albian Sands mining operation. Shell are a 60% shareholder in the Muskeg River Mine, which has a capacity to mine bitumen sands equivalent to a production of 182000 barrels of heavy crude oil per day.<br />
<br />
The Alberta Tar Sands are the largest deposits of their kind in the world and their production is the single largest contributor to Canada's greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
<br />
Alberta's tar sands are currently estimated to contain a crude bitumen resource of 315 billion barrels, with remaining established reserves of almost 174 billion barrels, thus making Canada's oil resources ranked second largest in the world in terms of size.<br />
<br />
The industry has brought wealth and an economic boom to the region but also created an environmental disaster downstream from the Athabasca river, polluting the lakes where water and fish are contaminated. The native Indian tribes of the Mikisew, Cree, Dene and other smaller First Nations are seeing their natural habitat destroyed and are largely powerless to stop or slow down the rapid expansion of the oil sands development, Canada's number one economic driver.<br />

One Caterpillar 797 truck can take up to 400 tons payloads, the equivalent of 4 shovels. Shell are a 60% shareholder in the Muskeg River Mine, which has a capacity to mine bitumen sands equivalent to a production of 182000 barrels of heavy crude oil per day.<br />
<br />
The Alberta Tar Sands are the largest deposits of their kind in the world and their production is the single largest contributor to Canada's greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
<br />
Alberta's tar sands are currently estimated to contain a crude bitumen resource of 315 billion barrels, with remaining established reserves of almost 174 billion barrels, thus making Canada's oil resources ranked second largest in the world in terms of size.<br />
<br />
The industry has brought wealth and an economic boom to the region but also created an environmental disaster downstream from the Athabasca river, polluting the lakes where water and fish are contaminated. The native Indian tribes of the Mikisew, Cree, Dene and other smaller First Nations are seeing their natural habitat destroyed and are largely powerless to stop or slow down the rapid expansion of the oil sands development, Canada's number one economic driver.<br />

  • CANADA ALBERTA ALBIAN SANDS 11MAY07 - Caterpillar 797 truck capable of carrying up to 400 ton payloads at the Shell Albian Sands mining operation. Shell are a 60% shareholder in the Muskeg River Mine, which has a capacity to mine bitumen sands equivalent to a production of 182000 barrels of heavy crude oil per day.<br />
<br />
The Alberta Tar Sands are the largest deposits of their kind in the world and their production is the single largest contributor to Canada's greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
<br />
Alberta's tar sands are currently estimated to contain a crude bitumen resource of 315 billion barrels, with remaining established reserves of almost 174 billion barrels, thus making Canada's oil resources ranked second largest in the world in terms of size.<br />
<br />
The industry has brought wealth and an economic boom to the region but also created an environmental disaster downstream from the Athabasca river, polluting the lakes where water and fish are contaminated. The native Indian tribes of the Mikisew, Cree, Dene and other smaller First Nations are seeing their natural habitat destroyed and are largely powerless to stop or slow down the rapid expansion of the oil sands development, Canada's number one economic driver.<br />

  • BANGLADESH CHITTAGONG MADHOM BIBIR HAT OCT00 - Labourers carry up to half-ton metal plates on their bare shoulders. Due to the heaviness of the plates, they chant rythmic songs to harmonise breathing and walking, a technique already applied by slave-gangs several centuries ago.<br />
<br />
Several thousand labourers work on one medium-sized (50,000 ton) ship for a period of around three months, until it is completely dismantled and taken apart. <br />
<br />
Since Bangladesh does not possess mineral resources such as iron ore, it works out more cost-efficient to employ a large army of day-labourers to recycle the scrapped ships rather than to import ore. On average, a labourer can expect to earn a little more than 1 US Dollar per day.<br />
