We aren’t advocating for people to deface gas pumps but are hoping that these stickers will help to raise awareness, overcome government misinformation, and set the record straight while starting a conversation in our community. So please feel free to place the stickers and other materials on your car bumper, on a bulletin board at your local community center, on your kid's school notebook, on a tree, or wherever you feel may be the most effective.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>In addition to today’s launch, we are hoping for a large province-wide push on September 6th and 7th. Please share this information starting today on Facebook, Twitter, your organization’s newsletters/website, with your friends, your family and help to speak up to counter seeing your tax dollars being used to mislead people and stop efforts against climate change.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Kevin.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>------------------------------------</div><div><b class="">1) Press Release</b></div><div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
