Join us at the Legislative grounds for International Day of Climate Action. There will be events happening all around the world- help us tell our government that we need climate leadership!
This year the Edmonton Film Fest will be featuring the film H2Oil. It is a film that asks: What is more important, water or oil? Will the quest for profit overshadow efforts to protect public health and the environment in Canada’s richest province?
In addition many local organizations will be co-hosting an interactive panel with the director Shannon Walsh, George Poitras of the Mikisew Cree First Nation, Eriel Deranger of the Rainforest Action Network, MacDonald Stainsby of Oil Sands Truth and Heather Milton Lightning of the Indigenous Environmental Network.
This is the first of 4-6 climate camps that Greenpeace will be organizing across the country in the lead-up to Copenhagen. If you have members in or near Alberta would appreciate any help circulating the call out.
