On October 24, thousands of Canadians joined together on Parliament Hill to call for a fair, ambitious and binding treaty on climate change. We were part of an international effort, facilitated by 350.org, which saw hundreds of thousands of global citizens engage in more than 4,000 climate rallies worldwide.
Our rally came on the heels of some dispiriting news from Canada's Environment Minister, who stated that global representatives will likely not decide on a binding climate treaty this year - Ottawa dashes hope for climate treaty in Copenhagen
Tzeporah Berman, Executive Director of PowerUP Canada and Co-Founder of Forest Ethics, spoke at the C-Day rally. She started her speach by citing this news report, calling our government's inaction on climate change a scandal. How can any government - anyone - know of the danger of runaway global warming but elect to do very little about it? Too much is at stake with so much opportunity. Tzeporah devoted much of her speach to this opportunity and to the dream to turn our country around.
There is still time. Leaders meet in Copenhagen this December. Sign the KYOTOplus petition and write to your MP and Minister of the Environment. You can do all that by visiting http://www.kyotoplus.ca/

C-Day: Fill the Hill. Help make climate change history
I am helping to organize Canada’s largest climate action rally this Saturday from noon to 4pm. The days leading up to the campaign have been exhausting and exhilarating. Well worth the effort! Thousands are heeding the call and making the trek to Ottawa via carpooling and charted bus. Jane and I are going up in a Toyota Prius thanks to AutoShare, taking with us Gracen Johnson, the Founder of C-Day, and Hilary Best, our publicist.
What’s the big deal? – World leaders are convening in Copenhagen this December to decide on the future of our species. They will set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Will these targets meet those set by scientists to stave off runaway global warming? The Canadian government’s targets fall far short of what is required.
The stakes are incredibly high. That’s why 350.org is assembling thousands of events worldwide that day, asking all leaders for a fair, binding and ambitious treaty in Copenhagen.

This is critical. If there is only one thing you can do, communicate to your elected representatives your desire for a fair, ambitious and binding treaty in Copenhagen. It will take you only seconds to do.
KYOTOplus has made it easier for us to do so. There are two steps:
1. Please sign the KYOTOplus petition if you have not done so already and then ask your friends and family to do so.
Sign the Petition
2. Ask your MP to support KYOTOplus by taking the Pledge, which calls on Canada to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25 per cent from 1990 levels by 2020. International climate scientists say cuts of at least 25 per cent are needed NOW.
Click here to find out if your MP has taken the pledge. If so, thank them. If not, ask them to do so.

Blog Action Day - Climate Action: There’s Still Time
We human beings are about to make the most critical decision we’ve ever made. No, this is not a promotion for some product that will make our hair less frizzy.
World representatives and leaders are meeting in Copenhagen this December to chart course on how best to dodge a bullet. More than 95 percent of climatologists and biologists who study climate change are very clear. If we don’t drastically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions we will commit our biosphere to runaway global warming.
How bad is runaway global warming? Imagine the torturous demise of our biosphere and you’ll get a pretty good idea. Species that can’t tolerate even the slightest change in their climate will die off, as will the species that depend on them for their survival and so on right up the food chain. Coastal flooding and other frequent natural disasters, and the mass migration they will instigate, will be the least of our worries. Viruses and parasites will flourish. Disease and death will be widespread.
This is depressing. It could be far worse. Imagine the following:
It’s 2020. The world is not on target to meet emissions targets that scientists warn will stave off runaway global warming. World reps signed off on a watered down treaty in Copenhagen way back in 2009. By now killer weather-related disasters are more frequent, parts of Africa are uninhabitable, and the pine beetle has devastated great swaths of the Boreal forest, as have oil companies to get at the tar sands. The summer arctic ice is now gone, glacial ice that millions depend on for their water supply is quickly disappearing and country-size chunks of ice are breaking off of Greenland and the Antarctic and melting into the ocean. The global fishing industry is on the point of collapse.
It’s only going to get worse. And you know it. What do you tell your kids? There is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop it. It’s too late.
It’s 2009. There’s still time.
Fight for this. Fight hard. Give it all you’ve got. You are living on planet earth during the most critical time in human history. World leaders are meeting in Copenhagen this December to set a course. What will it be? Commitment to developing a green and sustainable economy or more investment in the carbon economy? ‘Growth’ at all costs?
Thousands of us are converging on Parliament Hill on October 24th for C-Day: Fill the Hill, Canada’s largest rally on climate action and one of 1700 events coordinated by 350.org that day. Join us. Be one of hundreds of thousands of citizens worldwide who are sending a clear message to their leaders. We want fair, binding and ambitious targets on greenhouse gas emissions. Write to your MP.

Blog Action Day - Your Descendants Will be Green with Envy
We live in extraordinary times. World representatives and leaders are preparing to meet in Copenhagen this December to chart a course that will dramatically affect the trajectory of our species.
If this claim seems exaggerated to you, consider that it is supported by more than 95 percent of the scientific community that studies climate change. It doesn’t get more conservative than a body of scientists who study and test and analyze and test some more until they come to a consensus.
And what is their consensus? World governments must commit to significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in order to stave of global warming and the subsequent breakdown of our biosphere.
For some, it’s difficult not to feel depressed when faced with such a momentous challenge.
For others, it’s difficult not to feel emboldened.
Do you recall the St. Crispen’s Day speech in Shakespeare’s Henry V, when the King inspires his terrified army to rise up and defeat the French despite the disparity in their numbers? It doesn’t matter, he argues, that the odds are staked up against them. Their descendents and contemporaries will kick themselves for not being there on that day when the English army defied the odds through their sheer will.
It’s the spirit of the speech, and not the warmongering part, that I apply to our times. Some wish to avoid danger by escaping to blissful self-induced ignorance.
For the rest of us, we live in inspired times. Our generation will steer our species away from climate catastrophe and establish the foundation of sustainable societies. Our children and their descendants will look back on us with awe and wish that they themselves were alive on this day in 2009 to be part of the global movement taking shape in communities of every country on this planet.
Consider the global movement that is 350.org. To date, more than 1700 rallies worldwide are planned for October 24. One of the largest will be in front of your federal legislature. Join us on Parliament Hill that day and help make climate change history. C-Day: Fill the Hill (www.climateday.ca) will see thousands of Canadians convene to make sure our government sets the right course, the one where our descendants celebrate us.
Earn bragging rights. Tell your grand kids that you helped convince the government to commit to science-based targets on greenhouse gas emissions. Tell them you were part on the forefront of the new sustainable economy. Your grand kids will be green with envy.

Hallowgreen, Green Dreams and Save the World
Hallowgreen
Halloween is creeping up. Will it be a truly creepy holiday replete with genetically modified candy, toxic makeup and plastic wrappers that will last several vampire lifetimes? How does one enjoy the holiday without having eco-horror nightmares?
To help you green Halloween, Bordon Communications & Design offers the following handy handbook - http://www.bordencom.com/bordenhalloween.pdf
Green Beds
Speaking of preventing eco-horror nightmares, Jane and I happened upon a great new retail outlet for eco-friendly mattresses and bedding. It's called Keetsa and it offers beds - get this - at prices comparable to their toxic equivalents. Why? Keetsa compresses the mattresses to make them portable, thus cutting down on warehouse and transportation overhead. The beds are very comfortable. If you live in Toronto, visit their retail outlet in the Beaches (2245 Queen Street East) to test them out. You can also buy comfort layers for the lumpy pull out couch to give visiting relatives a good night rest.
International Day of Climate Action
Tell your kids, nieces, nephews, grand kids, etc. that you actually did something to save the world. Sadly, this statement is not hyperbole. Join hundreds of thousands worldwide on October 24 - the International Day of Climate Action - and tell our leaders to set science based greenhouse gas reduction targets on climate change. World reps meet in Copenhagen this December to chart a course over the next 40 years. We better get our targets right. Now is the time to act. Join us on Parliament Hill for C-Day: Fill the Hill, where there will be among other things a 1000 person flash-dance, or join one of many events happening near where you live. Make climate change history.
The Yes Men Fix the World
This fantastic documentary opens today with national release on Oct 24. I saw it at the Toronto Hot Docs Festival last spring. Hilarious and sobering all at once, The Yes Men take social activism to a whole new level. Don't miss it!

Insulation Rocks!
While fall is rearing its ugly head outside, my house was celebrating summer. The morning temperature in Toronto this week has been single digits. Inside, it’s been 20 degrees Celsius and the furnace is not on.
I know this seems obvious, but insulation really does make a difference to home comfort. It’s night and day – or fall and summer.
I must thank Green$aver for doing such an expert job in insulating our house. At first I had a naïve moment and actually considered renting a machine to do the job myself. It’s far far better to hire a company such as Green$aver that knows how to properly pack walls with cellulose. The Green$aver team also laid in insulation in our attic and crawl spaces – no easy feat with our house. These guys got into places I would not dare to go.
The Green$aver team was also very considerate, explained what they were going to do and were mindful of our pussy cats.
These days installing insulation does not entail tearing down walls. However, it does require opening up hose size and sometimes man size holes in walls to pump in the cellulose or get access to crawl spaces. It’s still a major job. Jane and I are in the process of painting the patched up walls. We’ve been meaning to repaint the hall and upstairs rooms anyway, and this has been a great incentive to do so. If you’re going to insulate, prepare to paint.
Happily I discovered that Benjamin and Moore has come up Eco Spec WB, a paint that is free of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
C-Day: Fill the Hill
For those of you who can make the trek to Parliament Hill on October 24 for C-Day: Fill the Hill, arrangements are underway to transport folks to Ottawa. Click here for more details.
C-Day: Fill the Hill will be the largest rally on climate change in Canadian history. The stakes are incredibly high. World leaders are meeting in Copenhagen in December to chart a course on greenhouse gas emissions. If they set a course below the targets recommended by scientists, they are dooming our immediate descendants to runaway global warming which will lead to mass species extinction. Make a difference while you still can. Join us on the Hill on October 24 and/or contact your MP and the Minister of the Environment to let them know you want binding and science-based targets on greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Be sure to take action on this issue. For the sake of your children and everything you hold dear.

E.P.A. Moves to Curtail Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Ice Bear helps utilities keep their cool – Jim Harris, former leader of the Green Party of Canada, is now writing a column in the Financial Post on why ‘green’ makes good economic sense.

Pumped Full of Insulation
Our home is dusty. Our cats are recovering. Our house is pumped full of insulation. Green$aver spent three days filling our walls with cellulose and crawling into our teeny attic space to lay down insulation, leaving in their wake hose and crawl size patches in our walls.
Now we have to paint. Happily we’ll paint just the walls that were affected, however now we have an opportunity to change our colour scheme in the hall and upstairs rooms, something we’ve wanted to do for some time.
We plan to visit Farrel & Ball, which provides clay-base and low VOC paint.
It’s a lot of work and a bit discombobulating but well worth it. Our 90-year old house, which up until now had very little attic insulation and nothing in the walls, will do a much better job in keeping in the heat, as will the new Energy-Star rated windows and doors we recently had installed. Green$aver helped us get the R composite insulating value for the walls up to R-12 and the attic up to R-50.
Isaac, one of the guys who got to know our attic very well, gave us insulating pads to place around the electrical outlets. We’ll be doing that, securing them with a bit of caulking, and covering unused outlets with childproof plugs. I’ll also go around and caulk areas such as baseboards that I missed last year. I’ll wait for a windy day to do so, finding the drafty areas with an incense burner.
In the News
I took part in AVAAZ's Global Wake Up Call on climate change on September 21, representing C-Day: Fill the Hill. A sizable group of us engaged in a flashmob at Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square demanding a fair and binding treaty on climate change, based on science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets.
I wrote about it on the C-Day blog – The Age of Stupid or The Age of the Green Transition?
We were among hundreds of thousands of people world-wide, calling for the same thing.

C-Day - Historical Climate Action for my Niece & Nephew
I will not stand idly by and let climate change devastate our biosphere. I am committed to reducing my carbon footprint, and I am committed to joining thousands on Parliament Hill on October 24 to demand from our government meaningful action on climate change.
And I’m doing all of this for my 5-year old niece and 3-year old nephew. I think of them a lot. What will their lives be like decades from now? Will they face a hopeless future because we’ve surpassed the tipping point on climate change, or will they thank you and me - our generation - for steering humanity towards sustainability?

Will they face a hopeless future because we’ve surpassed the tipping point on climate change, or will they thank you and me - our generation - for steering humanity towards sustainability?
Join me and thousands of others on October 24 in Ottawa on Parliament Hill. Write to your MP and the Environment Minister. Let them know we want Canada to lead on climate change during the Climate Conference in Copenhagen this December. They are signing a new climate treaty, a new road map to steer us away from climate catastrophe. Canada has been more than a hindrance than a help leading up to this conference. This is unacceptable.
In the future, you will tell your your children, grandchildren, and/or nieces and nephews that you made Climate Change History when you joined thousands in Ottawa on October 24, 2009 and told our government to do the right thing on climate change.
I am Filling Parliament Hill for Lauren and Keefe who are 5 and 3 years old. Who or what are you Filling Parliament Hill for?
C-Day: Fill the Hill is the focal point of the largest climate action to ever take place on Canadian soil. Climate Day is about Canada Coming together to demand Change. It is a Culmination, a Critical mass, a Call for action, a Cultural tipping point. C-Day is about active Citizenship. We need to show the world that Canada Cares about its Children and the future of Earth. Join us as we Converge on Parliament Hill to demand government Commitment to a Cooler earth and Climate justice.
On October 24 – 350.org’s International Day of Climate Action – millions of us in virtually every country on earth will stand in solidarity for a sustainable future. Canada is responding with a movement that rustled in the grassroots, became a whisper on the wind, and has grown to a chant nationwide: FILL THE HILL!
Who: You, thousands of fellow heroes, and all of the friends and family you bring along!
What: A history-making mass mobilization to show our Parliament that, “Yes they can” make wise and just decisions when it comes to climate change. C-Day: Fill the Hill is the focal point of the largest climate action to ever take place on Canadian soil. This will be a day to remember.
Where: Parliament Hill, Ottawa – you won’t miss it. There are simultaneous events across the country for those good souls who cannot make the trek to The Hill.
When: October 24th - 350.org’s International Day of Climate Action. While we Fill The Hill, we stand in solidarity with millions of people in cities around the world in a global call for fair and binding climate agreements in Copenhagen.
Why: There are boundless reasons to Fill The Hill and we would love for you to tell us yours. Who are you marching for? Seriously. Send us a message, a video, a letter, a tweet.
How: Very simply – just get on The Hill.
