Have You Checked Out DeSmog's Facebook Groups?

If you’re a Facebooker (and who isn’t these days!), check out the two groups the DeSmog team runs.

The first is called “Environment is my voting issue in Canada.” There’s over 1,890 members in this very active group and we update regularly with environmental issues as they relate to politics in Canada. Join up, and please be kind enough to ask your Facebook Friends to join as well.

The second group we run is still pretty new, but very active as well. It’s called “The Arctic Front,” which is part of the Alberta Oil Sands awareness project (we’ll be ramping this up BIGtime soon) we are running in a special section on DeSmogBlog.

The more members, the better the conversation, so please join up today and add your voice!
