In 2007, nineteen young environmentalists travelled Alberta by bike, attempting to wrap their head around one of biggest industrial mega-projects in the world: the Alberta tar sands. They went from one small town to the next, meeting with the locals and asking one question: how has the tar sands boom impacted your life?

The culmination of that trip is the recent release of a book entitled Journey To The Tar Sands, co-authored by 12 of the cyclists, as well as a feature-length documentary, which was recently featured at the Calgary International Film Festival.
