Have your say on Northern Gateway and Canada’s energy future

Will we further our dependence on climate-altering fossil fuels? Will we risk oil spills and the health of communities for a slice of short-term revenue? Or is it time to invest in cleaner, safer energy solutions and green jobs of the future?

Let your voice be heard. Please tell your elected leaders that short-term financial gain cannot make up for what we stand to lose if we don’t protect the natural world that sustains us. Tell them Canada needs a national energy strategy that values the environment.

Dear Ms. Clark, Mr. Kent and Mr. Oliver,

You are in a unique position to help the whole planet.

You are making a critical long-term decision on Canada’s energy future, one that will have an impact on our health and economy for the next half-century.

If you decide to deepen our dependence on fossil fuels by approving the Enbridge Northern Gateway project, you will only make the task of reducing our levels of greenhouse gas emissions more costly and difficult — continuing to burden generations to come with the bad choices we make today.

Please follow the example of other countries that are leading the way to ending humanity’s dependence on fossil fuels. Reject the Enbridge Northern Gateway project and turn our country toward cleaner, safer, renewable energy.

Thousands of people and communities in B.C. depend on clean, healthy ecosystems for their personal health and livelihoods. Short-term financial gain cannot make up for what we stand to lose if we don’t protect the natural world that sustains us.

Thank you for your kind attention.
