. @TeckResources proposed sale of its Elk Valley coal mines to @Glencore, a massive global mining company with a poor environmental and human rights record is concerning for the water pollution crises in the Elk and Kootenay Rivers 🧵 For decades now, mountaintop removal coal mining in the Elk has leached selenium, nitrates, sulphites and other pollutants into the Elk-Kootenay river system. Teck’s operations have damaged the environment and impacted sensitive animals like the westslope cutthroat trout.
