The Canadian Challenge Part I Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien has issued a challenge to every citizen in the industrialized world: to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by one ton or more. That may sound like a lot but as you will see it can be surprisingly simple. For example: Eat meat-free meals every other day. Vegetarian food requires much less energy to produce.       CO2 savings = 487 lbs. Park the car for 60 days this year. Walk, cycle, or take public transit.       CO2 savings = 917 lbs. Switch from hot to warm or cold water for every load of laundry.       CO2 savings = 600 lbs. Total Annual CO2 savings = 2004 lbs. [And that's for one person!]       Sign the Petition - http://stopwaroniran.org/petition.shtml Print out and circulate Stop War on Iran petitions - http://www.stopwaroniran.org/petition.pdf ...and see February 13 in our calendar of events.
