“DON’T  CHOOSE EXTINCTION”

Three Renfrew County groups are co-sponsoring:

Climate Emergency Information Picket
Friday November 5, 2021
3:30 to 5:00 PM
Pembroke Cenotaph Park
1 Pembroke St. E, K8A 3J5

Our event is in solidarity with the thousands of activists and scientists who are at COP26 in Glasgow, hoping to convince world leaders to take absolutely urgent action on the climate crisis. We can do this! Humans have proved we are capable of urgent effective response in handling the pandemic and previous calamities. In a short UNDP video, Frankie the Dinosaur urges all world leaders, "It’s time humans stop making excuses and start making changes” to head off the climate disaster. He points out that dinosaurs had an asteroid to blame for taking them out, but humans are doing this to themselves.

Fridays for Future founder Greta Thunberg is already at COP26! She has commented that political leaders’ “intentional lack of action is a betrayal. The people in power cannot claim that they are trying because they are clearly not.”

The co-sponsors of this event are EcoPembroke, Climate Justice Pembroke, and Kitchissippi-Ottawa Valley Chapter of the Council of Canadians.
