==Other Appointments==<br />
<br />
:Mr. Evans is also a director of [[Abitibi-Bowater]] Incorporated and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Conference Board of Canada. He is also the past chairman of the U.S. [[Aluminum Association]]'s Board of Directors. He has served as co-chairman of the [[Environmental and Climate Change Committee]] of the [[Canadian Council of Chief Executives]] and as member of the Board of the [[United States Climate Action Partnership]] (USCAP), a Washington-based coalition concerned with climate change<ref>Rio Tinto Alcan, 14 May 2008 [http://www.riotintoalcan.com/ENG/media/media_releases_1217.asp Dick Evans appointed Chairman of the International Aluminium Institute] Accessed 21/07/10</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Greenwash==<br />
<br />
As his other appointments show, Dick Evans has been involved in`a number of climate change bodies at high levels of the Canadian and US governments. Through bodies such as the [[International Aluminium Institute]] of which he is a long term member, the aluminium industry has made a concerted effort to portray itself as a green and clean metal which is an essential part of the solutions to global poverty, environmental degradation and climate change, instead of part of the problem.<br />
<br />
In contrast, evidence shows the aluminium industry as a major polluter, contributing 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions and using 1300 tons of water and 13.1 tons of CO2 for every one ton of aluminium produced<ref>Jaap Krater and Miriam Rose, [http://savingiceland.puscii.nl/?tag=climate-change&language=en 'Development of Iceland’s geothermal energy potential for aluminium production– a critical analysis'],In: Abrahamsky, K. (ed) (2009). Sparking a World-wide Energy Revolution: Social Struggles in the Transition to a Post-Petrol World. AK Press, Edinburgh.</ref>. It is also the most energy intensive metal to produce, relying heavily on large hydro electric projects which have massive social and environmental consequences<ref>Patrick McCully, 2001 'Silenced Rivers: The Ecology and Politics of Large Dams' Zed Books.</ref>.<br />
<br />
On joining the [[International Aluminium Institute]] Dick Evans commented:<br />
<br />
