Make it count

Make it count
Do online actions make a difference? Absolutely! Political leaders not only read letters from the public, they weight them. That means that each letter represents roughly 100 votes, so ten thousand letters equals a million votes.

If even a third of you reading this newsletter (yes, you!) wrote a letter, it would represent 10 million votes. All from the comfort of your sofa or office cubicle!

In 5 seconds, you can: make your voice heard immediately by voting in our weekly online polls (look over in the right hand column--->)

In 2 minutes, you can: visit our website and click on the “Take Action” button. Each month you’ll find a new action, so be sure to visit often and pass it on. We’ll let you know the results in next month’s e-newsletter.

This month, use the button below to tell Finance Minister Jim Flaherty what you think about the federal budget.

In 12 minutes, you can: fill out a customer feedback form at your favourite supermarket and ask for more locally grown produce. Locally grown food helps support farmers in your community, and reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that come from transporting food long distances. And while you’re filling out that form, put back that New Zealand apple and get one grown closer to home!

In 20 minutes, you can: write a letter to your MLA or MP about a local environmental project that you believe needs greater support, or a federal issue such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Pour yourself a glass of organic, local wine and relish in the satisfaction of making your voice heard.
