    Pedal for the Planet action call PDF Print E-mail
    Written by Pedal for the Planet   
    Friday, 26 June 2009
    Pedal for the Planet wil be hosting conference calls over the summer to organize communities across Canada. Click on 'read more' below for phone numbers and the Alberta and Saskatchewan schedule. 

    Pedal for the Planet is our chance for individuals, organizations and communities to join together, to ensure that Canada does its fair share to tackle the climate crisis. Starting on July 1, people across the country will join rides and walks leaving the Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific coast regions. Using bikes, trains and other modes of green transport, we will demonstrate our personal commitment to change, and relay our expectations for a Copenhagen climate treaty on to Ottawa.
    A new climate treaty will be negotiated during international climate talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, December 7-18, 2009. Canada now stands out as one of the last major industrialized countries opposed to targets for deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and one of the biggest blockers of climate change negotiations.
