1.  The End of Suburbia - film next Sunday - don't miss it!

Clean North's favourite young people are showing a mind-altering 
documentary next Sunday.  The End of Suburbia describes the peak of oil 
production and its fall - and thus the end of ridiculously cheap oil 
supplies.  What will be the impact on the lifestyles of the rich and 
famously wasteful (us North Americans)?  Don't miss this one.  7 pm at 
Algoma University.


2.  Urgent Action on Ontario's Energy - Deadline tomorrow!

Greetings all:

The World Wildlife Fund, The Sierra Club of Canada, The David Suzuki
Foundation, and  The Ontario Clean Air Alliance have joined forces to
communicate the message that implementing efficiency, conservation and
renewable energy to their full potential is the best option for Ontario,
and that these strategies are much better than the alternative of building
or refurbishing more nuclear power plants in Ontario.

So far over 250 people have sent emails to Premier McGuinty and the
Environmental Bill of Rights Registry (EBR) supporting sustainable energy
options and opposing nuclear power from these groups joint web site:
http://www.cleanair.web.ca/cg/

However, Premier McGuinty and the EBR need to get many more emails to
convince them that there is a huge groundswell of opposition to the OPA
Supply Mix Advice Report that is currently promoting a nuclear expansion in
Ontario.

Please take a minute to ask everyone on your email lists to go to
http://www.cleanair.web.ca/cg/ to send a message to Premier regarding the
best and most sustainable electricity options.

Please remember that the deadline for EBR comments is February 12th so your
help is crucial now to show that the people of Ontario want sustainable,
safe, non-radioactive, reliable options.

Thanks in advance for your help.
