The Society for Corporate Environmental and Social Responsibility (CESR) is having a symbolic ratification of the Kyoto Protocol ceremony in front of the Student Union Building on University Ave. at Dalhousie University from 12:15 to 12:45 on Wednesday, Oct. 30. You are invited to "ratify" Kyoto. Please join Dalhousie faculty and students as we show our support for the Kyoto Protocol and put pressure on our governments to ratify it. We also want to encourage our university to commit to reducing climate change gases. We are expecting our MP Alexa McDonough, other local politicians, community people, environmental groups, the Raging Grannies and the media. Secret surprises included! We will have letters to sign and "Kyoto Protocols" for everyone to "ratify". One of these will be delivered to our Premier. Dalhousie University has signed the Talloires Declaration for Environmental Sustainability in Higher Education (1990), Halifax Declaration on Environment and Development (1991), and the International Declaration on Cleaner Production (2000) and has its own environmental policy, so we would like Dalhousie University to lead the way by being the first university in Canada to commit to reducing climate change gases as set out in the Kyoto Protocol.
