Let's fight for a world beyond fossil fuels together.

The impacts of the climate crisis are literally on our doorsteps, threatening our health, homes, and communities. We can’t face this disaster alone, and we cannot shoulder the costs as individuals. Our government must make a bold investment in a Universal Heat Pump Program to save lives, cut our bills, and protect the planet. • HEAT PUMPS SAVE LIVES: Extreme heat is worsening every year, putting our health and safety at risk. Heat pumps could have saved hundreds of lives by keeping people cool during the B.C. Heat Dome of 2021 – and they would save thousands more as climate change continues to worsen. Heat pumps often replace natural gas heating systems, which pose their own health risks. Everyone deserves to be safe in their homes as the climate crisis escalates. • HEAT PUMPS CUT OUR BILLS: People across Canada are struggling to pay our bills and feed our families as the cost of living spirals out of control. Providing and installing free heat pumps in every household, including rental homes, is a concrete way for the federal government to cut utility costs for ordinary people across the country. We can’t afford to wait any longer. • HEAT PUMPS PROTECT THE PLANET: Fossil fuels are the root cause of the climate crisis – it’s time to kick Big Oil out of our homes and communities! A Universal Heat Pump Program, powered by affordable renewable energy, will reduce our dependence on oil and gas, cut emissions, and safeguard our planet for future generations. The federal government must commit to climate solutions that materially improve our lives, both now and in the future. Heat Pumps for All!

Flygandet måste minska: Klimathotet är akut. Flyget är idag beroende av fossila bränslen och de tekniska lösningarna för att göra flyget fossilfritt ligger i bästa fall långt fram i tiden. Vi har inte tid att vänta; därför måste flygandet minska drastiskt. ********************************************************************************** ENGLISH Aviation must be reduced: The climate threat is acute. Today, the aviation is dependent on fossil fuels, and the technical solutions to make the airplane fossil-free are at best case far ahead in time. We do not have time to wait; therefore, flying must be drastically reduced.

We, the undersigned, know that bouncing back to black fossil fuels is not an option. Tragically, the fossil fuel economy kills more people in the UK, every year, than Covid-19 (as at 12/05/20). We know this because, each year in the UK, 40,000 people die prematurely, due to outdoor air pollution (Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2016). We also know that this cannot be allowed to continue. A transformative Green New Deal is the answer. An ambitious plan that will secure a safe climate and fairer society by totally transforming our economy (Green New Deal UK, 2019). PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION We have learnt a lot from Covid-19 that will help us. 1) The Government has learnt how to listen to the science and act as if it matters. The Green New Deal must deliver on science based targets to put the UK on a net zero greenhouse gas emissions trajectory, that is in line with limiting global heating to 1.5 degrees. 2) We have also learnt the true value of all our key workers and how to care for those in need. The Green New Deal must deliver social and economic justice by providing secure, well paid, green jobs for all and training for those affected by the transition. It must also care compassionately for those who need extra help. 3) Those of us with access to nature have learnt to appreciate clean air, clear skies and the sound of bird song. The Green New Deal must deliver environmental justice by giving everyone the opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy the benefits. It is time for a green recovery where the health and wellbeing of all people and the planet are put at the centre of a sustainable growth strategy, powered by a Green New Deal. SIGN AND SHARE NOW Together, let's make sure that the next phase of our recovery is green. GREEN GROWTH > CUT POLLUTION > SAVE LIVES PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE.
