Greenpeace: Tell The Big Oil To Come Clean

[Guest guest]

Forwarded Message:

 

This is a one time emergency action appeal from

Greenpeace.

 

As a Climate Voice participant, we know that you share

with Greenpeace a common concern about the recent

announcment by US President George W. Bush that his

administration is abandoning US support for the Kyoto

Protocol, the international treaty against global

warming.

 

Despite an international outcry, more than one hundred

thousand email messages and many more faxes, phone

calls, cards and letters from people in the United

States and around the world, George W. Bush is still

insisting that he will heed the demands of his

corporate backers and abandon US support for a

cornerstone of international environmental protection.

 

As you know, climate change is rapidly worsening,

contributing to more extreme and unpredictable

weather, spreading disease, declining forests and

coral reefs, and sea level rise among many other

impacts.

 

Since President Bush is refusing to listen, Greenpeace

has launched a campaign directly targeting his

corporate backers. We have written to the CEOs of the

100 largest corporations in the United States asking

for their positions on the Kyoto Protocol. We urgently

need your help with this campaign.

 

There are three things that you can do today to help

prevent catastrophic climate change:

 

First, you can use a simple web form we have set up

at:

 

http://cybercentre.greenpeace.org/t/s/ams/e?a=BigOil & s=blue2

 

to send a message to the Big 5 US oil companies urging

them to come clean and support the Kyoto Protocol.

This is not a utopian demand: many European oil

companies already support the Protocol.

 

Second, you can become a Greenpeace cyberactivist

through this link:

 

http://act.greenpeace.org/joinForm

 

We'll send you email updates every few weeks on how

you can support our Corporate 100 push and other

Greenpeace campaigns, and you can participate in the

Greenpeace Cyberactivist Community.

 

Third, you can download the Greenpeace Climate Action

Kit from:

 

http://cybercentre.greenpeace.org/t/s/collector/getMessage?i=17

 

The kit includes black and white posters and flyers

that you can print out and more ideas on how you can

support this crucial campaign.

 

This is a one time appeal. We haven't added you to a

Greenpeace mailing list (unless you are already on

one, of course!). If we have already contacted you

about this campaign, then we apologize for the

duplication.

 

If you want to discuss this campaign, please don't

respond to this message (it won't get read!) Instead,

please join the ongoing discussion at the Greenpeace

Cyberactivist Community at:

 

http://act.greenpeace.org

 

Working together we can make a difference.
