Want to buy a bottle of toxic water? Make a bid on eBay!

I've got to hand it to the Sierra Youth Coalition for coming up with an innovative way to draw the public's attention to the issue of tar sands development spoiling Alberta rivers. The coalition, which calls itself the largest youth environmental organization in Canada, was until recently trying to sell a bottle of Athabasca River water on eBay. Proceeds from the sale were to go towards a nation-wide campaign to raise awareness of the ecological and social impacts of tar sands development in high schools and universities.
