Latest Actions:
1) 350 Climate Action Rally
24 October 2009 - 1:30pm - 4:30pm
We will meet at the legislature at 1:30 to join the Global Day of Action on Climate Change. Our rally will include speakers including Dr. Danny Blair (a climate expert), music, and hopefully an audio link to Ottawa's "Fill the Hill" event. Then we will walk to the Museum of Human Rights at the Forks for our rally photo.
Come and join our rally and let's get our message across. Time waits for no man, and global warming isn't waiting for us either!
Our message to Ottawa is simple: Canada must negotiate seriously and constructively in Copenhagen.
We need real emission reduction targets, not "intensity" targets.
We need to stop waiting for other countries like China and get on with it ourselves.
2) Garden transformation - planned by the UWSA Community Garden
Come out to 65 Furby street on Thursday the 25th at 5pm and help us transform a dormant garden into a feast-producing paradise!

5) Global Day of Climate Action
THE TIME IS NOW! DEMAND ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE!
On December 7, take to the streets to demand that our government plays play a leading role in developing of a strong post-Kyoto treaty that is both equitable and effective in minimizing dangerous climate change.
Urgent and resolute action is needed to prevent the catastrophic destabilization of global climate. This December, the world is coming to Poland for a crucial meeting en route to a new global climate treaty. Canada must be a visionary country this time around, instead of blocking the negotiations like we as it did in 2007.
On December 7, take to the streets to demand that our government plays play a leading role in developing of a strong post-Kyoto treaty that is both equitable and effective in minimizing dangerous climate change.
Canada must take responsibility by immediately reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions as well as investing in a clean energy revolution in the developing world. Climate change will hit the poorest first and hardest, in Canada and around the world. Canada has the means to cut its own GHG emissions and to help developing countries the global south do the same; we also bound by legal obligation to act. Therefore, we must urgently and decisively act.
Out of respect and support for the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre and the Day of Violence Against Women, in Canada we are mobilizing on December 7, one day behind the global movement.
NOW IS THE TIME: DEMAND A REAL DEAL IN POLAND! Start planning for December 7 in your community now! It can be as simple as a potluck, or as large as a march. Show our leaders that Canadians care about climate change!
