SUNCOR SUNDOWN
A short film about the impacts of Colorado's only oil refinery on our communities’ public health.
WATCH THE MOVIE
PRESENTED BY
Suncor Energy, a Canadian company, runs an oil refinery north of Denver Colorado. Suncor is one of Colorado’s largest emitters of greenhouse gasses, as well as one of the largest emitters of toxic air pollutants, and has been operating without any changes to its operations or pollution controls for years.
In spite of numerous enforcement actions and settlements, Suncor continues to flout air quality laws, putting neighboring communities – who are primarily Latino and low income – at extreme risk.
This is their story.
JOIN THE FIGHT
It’s time for restorative justice - time for Suncor Sundown
We need Colorado and national leaders to put people over polluters.
Stop letting Suncor Energy continue to violate clean air laws.
Public health is more important than a foreign company's profits
There should be NO new air quality and water quality permits for Suncor that allow them to keep polluting.
