CBC News -- Corporate Oilsands Opposition Mounts
,February 10th, 2010
Two major U.S. retailers and an influential British shareholder group have rebuked Alberta's oilsands by avoiding suppliers who use oilsands-derived fuel, and putting pressure on energy titans.
Whole Foods Market, a U.S.-based grocery chain that caters to high-end, health conscious consumers, recently moved to stop using any fuel sourced from Alberta oilsands in its supply chain.
Since January, Whole Foods has been able to ensure that only fuels
derived from U.S.-based crude oil are being use in the supply chains at
10 of the firm's 11 North American distribution centres.
