Hi folks, 


Apologies for the mass email, but I just want to quickly inform you about an upcoming event that I'm involved in producing. 


On Thursday, May 8, a Toronto-based organization called Our Horizon will be presenting and discussing their signature idea at CIGI in uptown Waterloo: putting warning labels on gas pumps to convey the dangers of climate change (in much the same vein as the health warnings on cigarette packages). They are hoping to attract range of locals to the event – municipal staff and elected officials, community builders and environmentalists, academics and students, potential funders and folks who work for NGOs and other like-minded organizations. Their objective, now that their legal research is complete, is to explain the concept more deeply and ideally work on getting municipalities across Canada to seriously consider the idea.

Please try to make it if you can, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you could please share this email (or facebook invites) with your network (or with individuals and organizations whom you know would be interested in the concept). 


Hope to see you there. 

Best, 
er
