Recycle Bins along the Riverfront

Windsor and Detroit are considered to be international cities. We need to set an example by thinking globally and act locally. There is absolutely no reason we should not have recycling bins in the place where we draw most tourists visiting our community.
By April 23rd, 2008 the Environmental Coalition of the University of Windsor hopes to have collected 5000 signatures on our petition. If you'd like to become involved please contact opirg@uwindsor.ca

Action on Climate Change in Windsor

The University of Windsor Environmental Coalition is planning to meet with the larger Windsor Community on the front lawn of the CBC on Riverside Ave. at 12pm on December 8th. We will march along Riverside Ave. up Sunset St. and over to the construction site of the New Medical Building. They we will bring attention to the fact that educational institutions must fulfill a leadership role in our community. We will demand that our institution become more transparent in projects geared toward sustainability so that students and community will know what's going on.

Maude Barlow Is Coming To Windsor!


"This is my standpoint. And I am just not going to budge from it. it's having a world view that is just in some ways immovable." - Maude Barlow

Maude Barlow is perhaps Canada's best known voice of dissent, highly opinionated and passionate. Over the years she's fought on the feminist front, struggled with the Mulroney government over the Free Trade Agreement, and been tear-gassed. The story of this driven, committed woman is told in Immovable Maude: The Life & Times of Maude Barlow.

Monday, November 19 - Windsor, ON
7:00 p.m. Caboto Club, 2175 Parent Avenue

Rally Across the World for December 8, the International Day of Climate Action!


Join millions of people in 70 countries (and counting) who will be on the streets to demand that world leaders take the urgent and resolute action that is needed to prevent the catastrophic destabilization of global climate, so that the entire world can move as rapidly as possible to a stronger emissions reductions treaty which is both equitable and effective in preventing dangerous climate change.

As heads of state meet in Bali, Indonesia for the UN Climate Negotiations to negotiate the our future, on December 8 the youth of Canada can stand in solidarity with millions world wide to demand our leaders take real action.

We also demand that the long-industrialized countries that have emitted most greenhouse gases up to now take most of the responsibility for the adaptive measures that have to be taken, especially by low-emitting countries with limited economic resources.

In Canada, the case is particularly severe: Canada declared our Kyoto targets unachievable and joined Bush's club of polluting nations who think "voluntary targets" will reach our commitments. December 8 is our day to tell our government that the only path to a stable climate runs through Kyoto!

The CYCC is joining ACT for the Earth in organizing actions nationwide, through local, city and rural based coalitions.

Rallies are currently planned for Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and Lethbridge, details, including contact information, are here: http://www.globalclimatecampaign.org/index.php?cmd=Main.ShowCountry&id=11〈=en&PHPSESSID=af91db948f12ce81b964e22976a0ea84#country11
