I've just asked the Canadian government to protect the Arctic from a tragedy like the one in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, there are no known mechanisms for cleaning up an oil spill in the harsh, icy waters of the Arctic.
Please call on the federal government to halt offshore drilling for oil until or unless we can safeguard our environment, our marine species, and our coastal communities.
Join me and WWF-Canada in petitioning our government to reduce the risk to Canada's Arctic. Take action at:

Climate change is the biggest environmental threat facing our planet and 2010 is a critical year because in 2012, the first goals set under the Kyoto Accord, the most significant international agreement to control greenhouse gas emissions, will be up for renewal.
December 2009, was the first time world leaders met in Copenhagen to negotiate a better global deal on climate change to take Kyoto further. The result is not enough to keep our world below 2 degrees C.
This year we must go further. In 2010, Earth Hour sends a powerful message to our world leaders in advance of the next meetings in Mexico City, and to our Canadian leaders in advance of hosting the G8 and G20 summits, that action is needed now!

5 Things we want the world to know about Earth Hour
1. We can solve 3/4 of climate change by changing the energy we use.
First step is cutting down our use. Do those lights really have to be on? Can the computers be turned off at night? Think before you switch on.
2. 10 million Canadians care about leadership on climate change.
Every person who participates in Earth Hour is sending a clear and inspiring message to our leaders to take further action needed to help our planet.
2. We're in the hot seat this summer - and it's not on the beach!
Canada is hosting the G8 and G20 Summits in Huntsville and Toronto in June, and climate change is on the agenda. Let's show the world what we are capable of.
4. Wildlife's best hope is avoiding 2 degrees Celsius.
Global warming is already threatening our coral reefs, the base of ocean life. If we can limit the warming, we can stop 1/3 of species from risking extinction.
5. WWF wants to help you make ever hour Earth Hour.
There's a big growing community online of people wanting to do more and looking for support. Join us at http://community.wwf.ca
