Oilsands Vacation Site Tempts Visitors with 'Toxic Lakes'

Greenpeace has launched a tongue-in-cheek website touting the tourism potential of the Alberta oilsands.

The site (travellingalberta.com) has an address similar to Alberta's official tourism page (travelalberta.com) and is the conservation group's response to the province's $25-million campaign to improve the environmental image of Alberta's energy industry.

The Greenpeace-produced site promises visitors "beautiful black sand beaches [that] stretch for miles," toxic lakes and clearcut forests.
