Adding video to channels (Eco) - requested by calvados.

I went horseback riding once at a small ranch alongside the Athabasca River during a visit to Alberta back in 2005. As we passed along the trail I looked down the steep cliff to the river below, it was blue, so blue, like it was dyed that way. When I asked our guide about it, she explained that the River was already this polluted because of the papermills upstreatm This was still in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, far closer to that source of the River than the mouth at Lake Athabasca, considered to be the twentieth largest lake in the world. The cool Rocky Mountain waters had not yet reached the Oilsands projects, but were already undrinkable.

Separate topic but if you guys haven't watched Gasland - it is on VS and very much worth a watch. It's actually sort of crucial watching. http://videosift.com/video/Gasland-full-film-1
