Want to help your favourite restaurant win new customers AND help save the world from runaway climate change?

Hi Linda ,

Thanks to you, our team of David Suzuki Community Leaders is growing fast. In less than a month we have 60 people on our team, with spheres of influence reaching over 100,000 people!

Here’s another idea for getting even more letters to our leaders asking for real action on climate change at the UN Summit in Copenhagen December 7.

Write a letter!Invite your favourite eatery to host an event called Eat, Drink and Save the Planet on November 18th. The concept is simple: enjoy a delicious meal and write a letter to our Prime Minster.

Here’s a plan of action:

• Make the arrangements with your favourite restaurant.
• Call your friends, put the word out to your networks and meet them at the specified time and place.
• Bring copies of sample letters (you can use this letter, or make your own), pads of paper and lots of pens.
• Ask people to personalize the letters (these have more impact).
• When you’re done, make three copies of each letter.

Send the main letter to:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper
House of Commons
Ottawa, Ontario
CanadaK1A 0A6

(Letters to the House of Commons can be mailed postage-free!)

Send copies to:
Michael Ignatieff, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
Gilles Duceppe, Leader of the Bloc Québecois
Jack Layton, Leader of the New Democratic Party

Remember to take pictures and send them to me with your stories to communityleaders@davidsuzuki.org. Include the number of letters you helped send to Stephen Harper - we want to reach our goal.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks.
