Hi Tami,

This is supposed to be a season of giving. But the kind of gifts the Top Ten Greenhouse Gas Emitters in Canada are giving us all are not only unwelcome - they're changing the climate and killing the planet.

It's time to give back - Sign here and urge the big emitters to reduce greenhouse gas emissions>> http://go.care2.com/e/R3sD/cbhG/pX78

This is supposed to be a season of giving. But the kind of gifts the Top Ten Greenhouse Gas Emitters in Canada are giving us all are not only unwelcome - they're changing the climate and killing the planet.

24,887,358 tonnes of greenhouse gases. Happy Holidays from Ontario Power Generation!

22,672,480 tonnes of greenhouse gases. Happy Holidays from Transalta Utilities Corporation!

13,669,500 tonnes of greenhouse gases. Happy Holidays from Saskatchewan Power Corporation!

In fact, the top ten Greenhouse Gas Emitters expelled over 120 million tonnes of gases in one year-and the total from all sources in 2004 was 758 million tonnes. The polluters have given us so much - greenhouse gases, poor air quality, and more extreme climate change.

The Top Ten Greenhouse Gas Emitters in Canada are responsible for more than 120 million tonnes of greenhouse gasses. In addition to contributing to global warming, these gasses are known to be associated with respiratory illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis.

What's more, just these 10 companies emitted more than 15% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions.

Thank you for all you do!
