FaceBook Group: Environment is My Voting Issue in Canada

onDec 18, 2007 @ 22:30 PST

If you’re on Facebook, please take a moment to add your name to our latest project called: “The Environment is My Voting Issue in Canada.”

For over a year and half, polls have identified the environment as the # 1 concern for Canadians.

Using social media tools like Facebook we can send a message to the Government of Canada that their performance on environmental issues will be judged at the ballot box.

Through collective action we can make the environment the top voter priority in the next federal election.

You can make a difference and there are millions of Canadians that are just as concerned as you are.

Please sign up today and urge your friends to do the same.
