Washington, March 3 (RHC)-- Nearly 400 opponents of the Keystone XL oil pipeline were arrested Sunday in front of the White House, marking what could be the largest youth sit-in on the environment in a generation.
Students from more than 80 colleges in 42 states rallied at Georgetown University and then marched to the White House, where some unfurled a black tarp and laid on the sidewalk to create a "human oil spill." Hundreds locked themselves to the White House fence before being arrested.
U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to make a decision on whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline in the coming months.
