PowerUP Canada - Canadians for Climate Leadership named one of TOP 10 Organizations in 2008

Yesterday Tides Canada Foundation announced PowerUP Canada - Canadians for Climate Leadership is one of its TOP 10 organizations for 2008:

"We chose them for:

• * building momentum on a Canada-wide push for decisive laws and policies to power up the green economy and reduce Canada’s carbon emissions.
• * calling for the Canadian Government to match world-leading standards for vehicles, buildings and appliances, and invest in a modern "smart" power grid, public transit, carbon sequestration and clean energy.
• * having all living Prime Ministers call for user-friendly areas of policy change, such as an economy-wide cost for carbon emissions and a staggering rate of climate-safe technology deployment.
• * pushing for the Canadian Government and Provinces to match Barack Obama’s planned investments in green jobs and renewable energy."
