(Message from Rick Smith of Environmental Defence)

Dear Friends,

I’m sure you feel, like I do, that there just aren’t enough hours in the day. We’re all juggling work, family and other commitments. This is why I try not to fill your inbox with things requiring your attention.

Now, though, I'm asking for your help.

No surprise, it's about global warming. We all know it's a problem but it sometimes feels like there’s little that any of us can do about it.

But there is something we can do. Something that will make a difference. Something that will only take a few moments of your time. I'm writing to ask you to take a few minutes today, tomorrow or as soon as you can for Moms Against Climate Change.

We are asking moms and other concerned Canadians to send a message to our political leaders now, demanding they protect our children's future from global warming. Why now? You may have read or heard about a crucial international climate change meeting in Copenhagen in December. All the world's leaders will be there.

We need to make sure that Stephen Harper and his government remember who they are representing in Copenhagen - our kids.

How can you help?

1. Watch our new Public Service Announcement. This PSA was created for free by zig, a really great communications company. You can watch it on YouTube right now:

It will be running on TV stations across Canada.

2. Send the YouTube video to all of your friends, family, coworkers...anyone you know!

3. Tell Stephen Harper to get tough on global warming pollution. Here's where our kids come in. Go to the web site: www.TakeActionOnClimateChange.com and post a photo of your kids on the photo wall. Don't worry, we've set up the site so your kids' privacy is fully protected (Otherwise, I wouldn't ask you to do it!). We will be projecting this photo mosaic on outdoor spaces near Parliament Hill to let Stephen Harper know Canadian parents expect him to protect our children's future from global warming.

4. Share the video and web site with your family and friends...post it on your Facebook page or Twitter (this is easy to do from the web site).

5. Talk to your friends and family about this important action they can take. Sometimes a phone chat or face-to-face conversation works better than an email.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. You really will make a difference, I promise! Our political leaders need to know what we expect them to do to protect our children from the harsh reality of global warming.

All the best,

Rick

Congrats Marge.

Happy Belated Birthday

Again, for those interested. There will be a wine a cheese held afterwards...(cash bar, sorry).

Come hear an insiders view on issues from Dr. Art Hanson, International Chief Advisor to China on Environment and Development (CCICED) -- and one of the worlds most respected sustainable development experts.

His public lecture will be Thursday, Oct 29 at 5 PM, at University of Ottawa , Fauteux Hall, 57 Louis Pasteur, room 147.

Will China take action to help break the global climate change impasse before Copenhagen? Will its rapid economic growth spell ecological disaster?

It's this thursday...I haven't decided where to go yet, but I will make reservations. I'm going to pass these suggestions to my boss, thanks all.

Me too...

Looking for face painters if anyone is interested or has the talent.

Fill the Hill

On October 24 – International Day of Climate Action – millions of us in virtually every country on earth will stand in solidarity for a sustainable future. Canada is responding with a movement that rustled in the grassroots, became a whisper on the wind, and has grown to a chant nationwide: FILL THE HILL!

Come support if you're out and about.

Dinner on Thursday night. 12 to 20 people....sorta like the Black Thorn setting and prices...

I got my tickets

Hey

I need to find a good restaurant, not to expensive, to bring a bunch of Professors and Politicians and Economists to. (fun)

It needs to be near(ish) to uOttawa, market would be alright.

Help!

Not full time...couple jobs a month...posters for lectures etc. I would even hire a student...anyone who can do some nice work, especially sometimes on short notice (like this week).

My email address is ms_zimmy@yahoo.com

Thanks

Looking for a graphic designer in Ottawa to do mostly posters, invites etc.

Any recommendations?

[color:purple]Damn, Damn, I will be out of town, SO wanted to catch this!

woohoo congrats!

Wow! there's some heavy people giving big props to this book. I definitely want to read it!

Neve Campbell!

Yeah, I find it a little strange, the choice of people who were quoted, but whatever sells the book, and I feel in this case, people should read it. And who knows, maybe Neve Campbell is very knowledgeable on climate change! :confused: Maybe I will ask Jim about it?

I just started reading it, haven't finished it, which is unfortunate because Jim Hoggan is arriving today and I organized the launch.

Fall! I love kicking leaves at people.

haha

Yeah' date=' and you're next Zimmy![/quote']

Awesome, I totally need a kick today!
