Please take the time on April 22 to think about your personal impact on our earth. Make a commitment to reduce your footprint on this day and every day.
Here are a few ways you can make a difference.
-
Turn off unnecessary lights, at home and at work – We’ve asked PSAC Holdings to help with this!
-
Print only when necessary and use both sides of the paper
-
use email or voice mail instead of paper
-
Have a garbage free day
-
Bring your lunch in reusable containers and don’t buy bottled water – use your own reusable bottle
-
Walk, bicycle, take public transit or car pool to work
-
donate the stuff you don’t use anymore instead of throwing it out
-
give your newspaper to someone else to read
-
recycle glass bottles, plastic bottles, paper, and cardboard
A message from the members of Eco-Alliance
April 22
Earth Day
On April 22, Earth Day, Canada estimates that over 500 million people in more than 180 countries will be celebrating International Earth Day.
Some 6 million Canadians will participate in Earth Day events, which can include the planting of trees and native gardens, neighbourhood cleanups, workshops and seminars, concerts, eco-fairs, parades, cultural events, waste reduction projects, the implementation/expansion of environmental programs, wildlife conservation projects, and much more.
PSAC Continued Support for the Kyoto Accord
We are appalled by the Conservative government’s statements that they do not support Kyoto and will not honour Canada’s commitment.
The PSAC supports the Kyoto Accord and hopes that every industrialized country will ratify the Accord.
You should take this opportunity to ask your Member of Parliament and the candidates from the other parties for the next federal election, their positions on the Kyoto Accord and its implementation.
We need to ensure that all key players are part of the global effort to address climate change. Effective measures to address climate change will protect the environment, improve the environmental health of Canadian citizens and benefit Canadian livelihoods through the creation of many thousands of clean jobs.
