Message From Lucy To Sign On Supporters

Just got this update email from Greenpeace Sign On Campaign from Lucy thanking all the Sign On Supporters: -- Dear Mary Thanks for speaking up and Signing On. We have to tell our government the financial recession is not an excuse to do nothing. In the next two weeks we've got a chance to do exactly that - at public consultation meetings over New Zealand's climate change target. Please turn up to make your voice heard, I will be. The catastrophe of global warming will make the recession look like a sour little joke. Clearly, something has to change. Nobody ever went out of business by adapting to the times. John Key must carry our message to Copenhagen this December - that we care desperately about the health of this planet. There are brilliant minds in science, engineering and agriculture who know how to reduce our contribution to climate change. Let's not waste time and knowledge. The Earth has been so good to us. What have we done for her lately? Lucy L PS - Put it in your diary and don't forget to join other Sign On supporters at the public meeting in your region.
