(In the Meantime) Practical Actions to Undertake:

Resolve to be part of the solution, not add to the problem.

1. Clean, renewable energy is key, so we must support these options and oppose dirty and non-renewable sources. For Canada the tar sands project is the greatest new addition to greenhouse gas emissions. Support the proposed moratorium.

2. Reduce, reuse and recycle generally in our work and living situations, tread more lightly, be mindful of the needs of other peoples, future generations and other species with whom we share this planet.

3. Support existing environmental organizations engaged in conservation, the welfare of other species, environmental clean-ups and other constructive measures.

4. Engage in political action to promote reform, through political parties or other citizen actions such as lobbying, presenting briefs and consumer boycotts.

5. Encourage organizations to which we belong to sign this declaration.

6. Invite people and organizations in other countries and international bodies to work with us.
