Those responsible for causing pollution should pay to clean it up.

The Polluter Pays Principle:

The Polluter Pays Project aims to ensure that the oil and gas industry – not the public – pays to clean up its mess.

The polluter pays principle is not just a cornerstone of environmental law – it’s a matter of common sense.

Let's make the oil and gas industry's irresponsible approach a thing of the past.
