Are you worried about Canada’s commitment to the goals of the Kyoto Accord; concerned that Canada won’t take responsibility for our climate during the upcoming talks among world leaders in Copenhagen, Denmark? How can you let our government know about your concern? Well, you can email your MP to share your concerns and your desire for Canada to take a progressive stance and support a binding science-based climate treaty. You can also encourage your parish to join the December 13th Ring Your Bells day of action for churches around the world.
