Campaign Actions

  • Time to put the brakes on BC's gas industry

    Write your letter now!

    Lately British Columbians have been hearing a lot about the gas industry from leaders in the provincial government. BC Premier Christy Clark went so far as to announce a brand new provincial ministry dedicated to creating a thriving natural gas industry hinged on exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

    But what does all this industrial development mean for the environment and for the people of BC?

  • BC needs to take back its power over Northern Gateway

    Write your letter now!

    The BC government recently announced that it could not support the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline in its official submission to the Joint Review Panel.

    This is very positive news! And it’s thanks to all the concerned citizens like you who stood up for the coast and let decision-makers know that this pipeline was NOT in British Columbia’s best interest.

    But this pipeline proposal isn’t dead yet.

  • Let's Stand Up for BC's Provincial Parks!

    Write a letter now!

    Are you planning on heading out into the great outdoors this summer?

    If you do, chances are you will be visiting one of Canada’s magnificent provincial or national parks or protected areas.

    Canadians love nature, and here in BC, we are very lucky that our parks protect some of the best of the province.

  • Tell BC's Premier to Say NO to Kinder Morgan!

    Write your letter now!

    Oil and gas giant Kinder Morgan has filed its project outline with the National Energy Board (NEB), the agency that regulates pipelines, regarding their proposed Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline. It's not the full application for the project, but we're expecting that to be submitted in the fall.

    Join us in taking action now by sending a letter to BC’s recently re-elected Premier Christy Clark, urging her to do everything in her power to stop the Kinder Morgan project once and for all!

  • BC Needs a Clear Commitment for a Cooler Planet
    Sign the petition!

    British Columbians want the provincial government to take far-reaching action to reduce carbon emissions and protect life on Earth in a rapidly changing climate.

    Join us in calling for provincial policies that recommit to emissions reduction targets, expand the carbon tax, stop new fossil fuel projects and shift resources toward renewable energy and green jobs. Click here to sign the petition now.
