Re: Kyoto Protocol Dear Prime Minister Paul Martin - and - Environment Minister Dion, Congratulations on Canada's commitment to the Kyoto Protocol. I am very concerned about the possible environmental and social upheavals associated with climate change. I feel very strongly that Canadians must act as responsible world citizens to dramatically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and I am distressed by: - Reports of the inadequacy of the current voluntary approach and of limited incentives to ever reach Kyoto targets; - Rumours that large industry's targets will be drastically weakened; and - A recent report ranking Canada 107th out of 146 countries for its emission reduction efforts. I urge you to mark February 16th, the date the Kyoto Protocol becomes law, with the announcement of measures that cement Canada's commitment to this essential step toward a just planet, including: - Clear targets and timelines for full compliance by 2012; - Use of regulation and incentives rather than voluntary measures; and - Mandatory targets for large industry consistent with their share of emissions. As a Canadian and global citizen, I pledge my commitment to energy conservation in every related decision I make. | |
