Fossil Fools Day of Action
The Frost Sustainable Campus Initiative in partnership with Energy Action Coalition will host a demonstration, a Fossil Fools Day of Action, on Tuesday, April 1.
This critical mass sustainable transportation demonstration will start at noon at the front entrance of the the Frost Campus of Fleming College, 200 Albert St. N.
A banner will hang at front of school entitled "Let's end our addiction to oil". Students will be dressed up in costume, holding or wearing signs advocating sustainability in transportation. There will also be someone dressed up as 'security' to ticket people and award those who are travelling with green house gas emissions.
Students are taking action because leading climate scientists warn that dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions must begin immediately to avoid catastrophic climatic shifts, yet most policy proposals consist primarily of goals that are decades off.
On Fossil Fools Day youth will be responding to the urgency of the problem by getting out on the streets and into communities to stand in opposition to dirty energy, show support for climate justice, strong legislation and corporate responsibility.
Actions being planned by youth around the United States and Canada include Critical Mass bike rides, green job rallies, Bank of America mass account closures, car dealer "adoptions," no coal photo petitions, alternative energy expos, and more.
Fossil Fools Day is being organized by the Energy Action Coalition and a number of international allies including the International Rising Tide Network and the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition. For more information, please visit www.FossilFools08.org
