SUMMARY:October 24, International Day of Action on Climate Change.
DESCRIPTION:As you probably know, people all over the world are counti
 ng down to a crucial UN Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen this De
 cember. Global action on climate change is vital for the health of our
  economy, our communities and our future. We can only address global w
 arming by addressing it together. Individual actions like driving less
  help, but we need our political leaders to provide policies that make
  green living easier, not harder. Cheaper, not more expensive. And you
  can help make that happen.\n\nWhat’s at stake at the UN climate sum
 mit?\n\nThe stakes are high for everyone on the planet.\n\n* Rising gl
 obal temperatures are changing the climate balance that has existed on
  earth for hundreds of thousands of years.\n* Leading scientists say t
 hat if average temperatures on Earth rise just one more degree, global
  warming could reach a point where recovery is impossible; we are at a
  tipping point.\n* Runaway global warming would destabilize our climat
 e, affecting our water supply, food production and economy for generat
 ions.\n\nCanada is at a crossroads, with a choice between responsibly 
 addressing the problem now or dealing with severe consequences later. 
 We can either lead and take advantage of this shift, or miss the boat 
 as other countries act more swiftly.\n\nCanadians want real action on 
 climate change in Copenhagen. Our goal: 5,000 letters to the Prime Min
 ister by December 7, when the UN Summit on Climate Change begins.\n\nW
 hat you can do:\n\n* Gather your networks together and create an event
  for October 24, International Day of Action on Climate Change. Enter 
 your event on the map at http://www.350.org/map. (Let’s get that Can
 adian number up!) The event might be something as simple as a dinner p
 arty.\n* At your event, make sure to include writing letters to Prime 
 Minister Harper. Real letters have more impact than email. (Did you kn
 ow that political leaders calculate the value of each letter received 
 as representing 100 citizens? It’s true!)\n* Although it’s more ef
 fective to send real letters, invite those in your spheres of influenc
 e to sign this petition if they can’t make it to your event, and to 
 circulate it to all their contacts.\n\nNOTE: October 24 is a ‘hookâ€
 ™ for action, but that doesn’t mean your event has to happen on that
  day. The important thing is to get those letters to Stephen Harper be
 fore December 7.\nthermometer\n\nIn the first 24 hours, our invitation
  to tell Stephen Harper to take real action on Climate Change in Copen
 hagen resulted in 10,000 responses. Click here to help us get to our g
 oal of 25,000 before December 7.\n\nSave paper by collecting the lette
 rs and sending them altogether in one envelope to:\n\nPrime Minister S
 tephen Harper\nHouse of Commons\nOttawa, Ontario\nCanada K1A 0A6\n(Let
 ters to the House of Commons can be mailed postage-free!)\n\nSend copi
 es to:\n\nMichael Ignatieff, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada\nGi
 lles Duceppe, Leader of the Bloc Québecois\nJack Layton, Leader of th
 e New Democratic Party\n\nFor more information visit https://fixourwor
