After volunteering for the entire Tar Sands Action protest against the Keystone XL pipeline, I am returning to Canada this afternoon.

All told, it was a really valuable experience. I met a lot of people who are passionate about climate change, as well as people who are skilled at organizing events of this type, which is quite an undertaking and accomplishment.

I very much appreciate how friendly and open everyone was with me. It was a pleasure to be part of this effort.
