Dan Woynillowicz, spokesperson for the Pembina Institute, made
the following statements in response to Shell's media release regarding
the occupation of its oil sands mine by Greenpeace activists:
"Shell's release makes a misleading statement regarding the
Pembina Institute's ranking of its environmental performance. The
Pembina Institute/WWF's 2008 report card on the environmental
performance of oil sands mines found that Shell's new oil sands mines
are getting worse, not better."
