Canadians have a great way to voice their concerns about the environment to federal officials.
Power Up Canada offers news, information, statistics, and easy ways to take action and write to political leaders.
According to Power Up Canada:
Global warming is getting worse and more quickly than most scientists had warned. Many countries are working hard at solutions and building new economies along the way. But Canada has some of the weakest national government policies in the world – weaker than China and India. (Climate Change Performance Index 2008)
With this as their motivation, the website works towards making citizens and officials aware and active on making changes. So, if you live in Canada and want to be heard, you might want to head over to Power Up and check out the resources provided for you there.
