I couldn’t help it when a groan slipped out while reading yet another email about horrible, terrible, very bad plastic. Another outcry against the toxic, non biodegradable stuff, killing the poor innocent creatures of the ocean, blah blah blah. All this while sitting comfortably in my warm home, sipping tea to my heart’s content. I live so far away from the Texas-sized swirling vortex of plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean and all the litter lining every shoreline on earth. It’s easy to ignore one little email and go on with my day when I’m not face to face with it.Well, lucky for us that there’s a group of guys who decided to make it their business

Breaking eco-news: Harper officially hates the environment
This message is directly copied from an urgent email I received last night. Its urgency required me to just get the word out as quickly as possible.
Step 1) read the pasted article below
Step 2) Call Stephen Harper, like I did, at 613 992 4211
Email him: http://pm.gc.ca/eng/contact.asp
Tell him that canceling Canada’s only climate act right before COP16 was an incredibly stupid, undemocratic thing to do.
Step 3) Share this blog posting with everyone you know.
And now, the message:
Some very sad news. Tonight the country’s only federal climate change legislation in Parliament, the Climate Change Accountability Act, was defeated in the Senate 43 to 32.
