change is an increasingly serious issue effecting Canadian communities
everywhere, including municipal finances and services. In response to
this, Canadian non-profit <i>Our Horizon </i>is proposing a novel solution to both increase public engagement and, most importantly, <b>shift markets in a more sustainable direction and incent innovation</b> through the use of providing <b>direct messaging on climate change with visual gas pump labels.</b><br>

regarding the implementation of this initiative at the municipal
level. The idea was recently included as an item for future
consideration
in the Waterloo Region Climate Action Plan. We hope you can join, and
will consider sharing this invitation with anyone else you feel might be
interested - through initiatives such as this, we <i>all</i> have the power to take tangible, pragmatic action on climate change. </span></font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span>Please <b>reserve your free seat</b> through Eventbrite</span></font></span> <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/e/can-a-simple-sticker-help-us-act-on-climate-change-tickets-10933310827" target="_blank">here.</a><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span><span><span></span></span></span></font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></span>
