Winnsboro, Texas - One of the members of Tar Sands Blockade who is camping on a platform in the trees to attempt to block construction of the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline. Environmentalists have opposed the pipeline because it will transport dirty tar sands oil from Alberta, contributing to global warming and raising the risk of pollution from pipeline leaks.
