Earth Day in Vancouver: Youth-led action against tankers and pipelines
We are a group of high school students who call ourselves “Youth 4 Climate Justice Now,” and we are organizing this year’s Vancouver Earth Day Parade & Celebration, hoping to build upon last year’s Earth Day event that brought out over 1,500 passionate people out to the streets on Vancouver.
This Sunday, April 22, 2012, starting at 11 a.m., people will be gathering at Commercial Drive Skytrain Station to march down to Grandview Park for speakers and entertainment. If you are in Vancouver, we hope you can join us. If you are somewhere else in Canada, look for an Earth Day event near you.

March for a global day for climate action against those Canadian climate criminals who block progress on global solutions to climate change.
From Nov. 28th to Dec 9th, world leaders will be meeting in Durban, South Africa during the broken Conference of Parties convention to discuss climate change.
Canadian climate criminals will be attending these meetings to block progress on global solutions to climate change and instead promote asinine capitalist fantasies about ‘carbon capture' or ‘nuclear futures'.
