C- Day! | FREE BUS IN LONDON | 100,000 on the Hill!
24 October 2009 (All day)
GET ON THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!
FREE TRANSPORTATION FOR C-DAY!!!
C-Day: Fill the Hill is the focal point of the largest climate action to ever take place on Canadian soil. Climate Day is about Canada Coming together to demand Change. It is a Culmination, a Critical mass, a Call for action, a Cultural tipping point. C-Day is about active Citizenship. We need to show the world that Canada Cares about its Children and the future of Earth. Join us as we Converge on Parliament Hill to demand government Commitment to a Cooler earth and Climate justice.
In London - we are approaching unions to fund buses to Ottawa. We are also looking at the remote chance of working with Western students to convert a bus to biodiesel in order to use vegetable oil recycled from restaurants.
In order to know how much money we need to raise - we need to know how many buses we will need - therefore - please contact us ASAP - to reserve a seat.
We will not be charging anything - however - we will ask each person to donate 1.00 to purchase a native / seedling - little trees we will plant to commemorate this date and to offset our carbon to get to Ottawa - we also ask you cancel a different trip you had perhaps planned to make this year. Seedlings will be purchased from VanDenNest Nursery.
Donations are welcome and appreciated if you are in the position to do so. Sponsors are also welcome and needed.
Please contact us at canadiansforactiononclimatechange@bell.net to reserve your seat ASAP.
This event is also endorsed by Council of Canadians | London.
You can also contact Andrew Healey at ahealey7@uwo.ca to find out how you can help do more.
On October 24 – 350.org’s International Day of Climate Action – millions of us in virtually every country on earth will stand in solidarity for a sustainable future. Canada is responding with a movement that rustled in the grassroots, became a whisper on the wind, and has grown to a chant nationwide: FILL THE HILL!
Who: You, thousands of fellow heroes, and all of the friends and family you bring along!
What: A history-making mass mobilization to show our Parliament that, “Yes they can” make wise and just decisions when it comes to climate change. C-Day: Fill the Hill is the focal point of the largest climate action to ever take place on Canadian soil. This will be a day to remember.
Where: Parliament Hill, Ottawa – you won’t miss it. There are simultaneous events across the country for those good souls who cannot make the trek to The Hill.

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
