Dear Friend,

Thermal coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel out there. It's responsible for
half of total global carbon emissions - and the toxic pollution created by
burning the stuff kills around 800,000 people every year.

The federal government knows this. That's why it created the Powering Past
Coal Alliance five years ago. But, as with so much of this government's
climate policy, knowing what to do is no guarantee that anything will
actually get done.

The government says it will end the export of thermal coal by 2030 - eight
long years from now! But if we are going to stand any chance of limiting
global warming to the Paris target of 1.5 degrees C, we need to move RIGHT
NOW to ban the mining, burning and export of thermal coal.

The urgency is real! The past 12 months of heat domes, wildfires, droughts,
floods and landslides have brought the message home - we must go further;
we must go faster.

Friend, will you join fellow Green Party members
and supporters in writing to Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven
Guilbeault urging him to make the regulatory changes necessary to
fast-track the thermal coal phase-out to 2023?

Let's make sure the Minister and his colleagues know that this is a climate
CRISIS and that it's time to start acting like it.

Thank you for adding your voice.

In solidarity,

Interim Leader
