Send a Message to Canada's Top Greenhouse Gas Polluters

Target: Canada's Top 10 Greenhouse Gas Polluters
This is supposed to be a season of giving. But the kind of gifts the Top Ten Greenhouse Gas Emitters in Canada are giving us all are not only unwelcome - they're changing the climate and killing the planet. 

24,887,358 tonnes of greenhouse gases.
Happy Holidays from Ontario Power Generation!

22,672,480 tonnes of greenhouse gases.
Happy Holidays from Transalta Utilities Corporation!

13,669,500 tonnes of greenhouse gases.
Happy Holidays from Saskatchewan Power Corporation!

In fact, the top ten Greenhouse Gas Emitters expelled over 120 million tonnes of gases in one year-and the total from all sources in 2004 was 758 million tonnes. The polluters have given us so much - greenhouse gases, poor air quality, and more extreme climate change.

It's time to give back - Sign here and urge the big emitters to reduce greenhouse gas emissions!

deadline: 12-11-2007
goal: 3,500

It is disgraceful that Canada will not work with the Kyoto Accord. To say it is too costly is admitting the government does not care about the world. I my opinion every government and every individual should be taking action to reduce pollution and not only CO2.

Leaders should be role models for our society. It is time to stop hiding behind the almighty dollar and take care of our planet while we still can. If we continue on this path, it will lead to our ultimate destruction and no amount of money will be able to save us. We have a responsibility to our children and our ancestors to stop this negligence.

Let's all pull together to save this planet for our children. The future is looking bleak. Greed is poisoning our air, water, soil. We are losing groups of wildlife daily. As the self-appointed guardians of this planet, surely should we act with some semblance of intelligence! We presume to be a form of higher intelligence - are we?

I would like to point out that the largest green house gas producers are the public by far cars,trucks, airplanes nothing else comes close. I would suggest that you all consern yourselfs with yourselfs then turn your attentions too others. My grandfather always said do't throw stones if you live in a glass house and I see nothing but glass houses. Try starting with electric cars !

We have created a situation that will be a catastrophe for our children and grandchildren as well as the plants and animals of the Earth. It is long past time to take strong action to reduce the output of greenhouse gases quickly by large amounts. The economic argument against doing so is bogus. There will be new types of jobs to replace any jobs that are lost.

We are losing the blue marble more and more everyday. If we continue to live the way we have been, we will not last. We all know it. So why hasn't something been done yet? WE ARE GREEDY, PEOPLE! And something needs to be changed. As for you Yankees coming on here and criticising Canadians for wanting a better environment, you can all just f*** off, at least we want something done before our world comes crashing down. First thing that needs to be changed: Recycling. Recycling plants contribute more GHG's by recycling a pop can than we do making one from scratch. whats wrong with this picture?

Humans should remember that living on this planet is a privalege not a right. Our arrogance as a species will bring about the end of many others species and possibly our own in the end. Mother earth has provided us with a balanced atmosphere, which has has allowed us to thrive. By using fossile fuels we are upsetting that balance with increased CO2, therefore upsetting that balance. And for that future generations will pay for our stupidity.
