Climate Action: Greater Than Cutting 2/3 Of Europes Cars

March 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Every now and then I receive emails from Avaaz, who are an online environmental and political lobbying group.  I received one such email 2 days ago which I have cut and pasted below.  If you are interested in preserving the environment, then please read it.  Without any more ado, over to Avaaz:

 

Dear friends,
This week, European regulators will start setting new efficiency standards for fridges, TVs, and other products. Strong rules could massively cut Europe’s climate pollution, but industrial lobbyists are pushing to weaken the proposals.

We’ve received an unusual message: a video sent back in time from the future … by a talking fridge named “Coldy.” Click the picture to watch the video and take action now:

 

 

Green technology already exists that would dramatically improve the fridges, TVs, washing machines, and other products that each of us use. Strong green standards, according to expert studies, could have a huge climate impact–greater than taking two thirds of Europe’s cars off the road. And these standards would reduce our energy bills by tens of billions of Euros per year.

But the most-polluting companies want to sell dirty products cheaply, and avoid green investment. It’s up to us to make sure EU negotiators hear the clear voice of thousands of citizens across Europe — and not just the voices of industry lobbyists. Click below to watch the video and sign the petition — it will be delivered to negotiators this Thursday:

With hope,
Ben, Luis, Iain, Graziela, Paula, Alice, Milena, Ricken, Brett, Pascal, Paul, Veronique, and the entire Avaaz team
