Hello, action network!
Greetings from the Hague on Thanksgiving Day! As the treaty talks
become more frenzied, and the possibility of an impasse
looms on the
horizon, it is desperately important to put pressure on the
US government
to stop trying to derail the creation of an effective global warming
treaty.
Please take a few moments of your time to help push for an effective
Kyoto Protocol at home. The following email contains
information for
actions that you can take to help in this direction:
1***MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS***
2***SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY ACTION***
***MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS***
Here at Den Haag, we've been holding the delegates' feet to
the fire, and
damn, have they been feeling it. Now we need to come to a
crescendo with
the thousands of you that have chosen to make a difference
from across the
Atlantic.
You can use this brief statement to call the US delegates at the
conference and make your opinion known to them. The phone
numbers are
listed below. They are long distance (Wash. DC), but this
is important
and it shouldn't take long. Of course, feel free to
elaborate on this
statement if you like.
"Hi, I'm calling for _______, one of the U.S. delegates at
the World
Conference on Climate Change. I'd like to leave a message
for him/her urging
him/her to work for a strong and effective Kyoto Treaty
while in the last
hours of the conference. I specifically call upon _______ to
take a strong
stance against the inclusion of carbon sinks, excessive
emissions trading,
and nuclear, large hydroelectric and 'clean coal'
technologies. I want the
delegate to represent my interests and not allow the U.S. to
cheat on their
commitments."

***SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY ACTION***
This email was originally sent by the American Lands
organization for use as a
Greenpeace organizational fax, but works just as well as an
action email to
Frank Loy, chief negotiator for the US. You can copy and
paste this into
another email and send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear Secretary Loy,
We are writing to express our deep disappointment at the
U.S. proposal
in The Hague this Monday for forest rules under the Kyoto
Protocol on
Climate Change.
First, the proposal lacks environmental safeguards to ensure that
financial incentives for carbon sequestration are not
available to
ecologically destructive forest activities. These include growth
acceleration techniques such as the planting of monoculture,
exotic, and
even genetically modified trees and the application of heavy
doses of
fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. In developing
countries, even the
destruction of rainforests and their replacement by
plantations could be encouraged.
Second, the proposal would falsely credit
"business-as-usual" forestry
as a huge reduction in U.S. emissions. Although the amount
of this
credit is lower than previous U.S. proposals, it would still allow
developed nations to emit more in CO2 in 2010 than they did
in 1990,
rather than 5% less as promised in the Kyoto Protocol.
Instead, the
U.S. must do far more to reduce emissions from cars, trucks, and
industrial sources and limit credit for forestry activities
to real
forest protection and restoration.
Leadership from the U.S. is necessary to address these
shortcomings and
produce an environmentally progressive agreement at The
Hague this week.
Thanks for your attention.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
