Prime Minister Martin poised to make critical decision on vehicle emissions!
One of the most serious threats to Canada's implementation of the Kyoto Protocol is the Government's reluctance to regulate industry - especially the car industry.
Canada's Kyoto plan sets a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles by 5.2 megatonnes by 2010. However, instead of setting enforceable regulations, as California has done with its Clean Car Legislation, the Canadian government is counting on the auto-industry to lower vehicle emissions voluntarily. While auto-makers have agreed to voluntary reductions, they will not agree to an overall emission standard, and are actively trying to undermine California's Clean Car Legislation.
Tell Prime Minister Martin the auto-industry must be regulated! To ensure we meet our Kyoto obligations, auto-makers must meet targets that are transparent and enforceable. Paul Martin's decision is not only an important Canadian issue, but could play a significant role in achieving low emission vehicles throughout North America.
For a sample letter and to send an email to the Prime Minister just follow the instructions on the Sierra Youth Coalition action page at:
