From Rosemary R.

"This Thursday, the environment ministers from the G8, the world's biggest contributors to climate change, will be meeting in Germany. The outcome of this meeting is crucial to world's response to global warming.

Avaaz.org has been invited to attend this meeting to present our climate change petition. A strong voice for action could help set the agenda for the G8. To help seize this opportunity, click below:

The G8 is a summit of world leaders from the "Group of 8" largest economies. Together, these countries account for 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions--the gasses that cause climate change. The full G8 summit is coming in June, but the agenda and outcome of this type of high-profile event is usually set far in advance--at meetings like the one this Thursday.

This year, the president of the G8 is German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Her environment minister, Sigmar Gabriel, is in charge of the ministers meeting Thursday. And at 4 pm on March 15th, we have a personal meeting with Mr. Gabriel to present our petition for binding emissions targets to stop catastrophic climate change.

Merkel has indicated an interest in making climate change a top priority. With a significant global petition, we can make the case that the world is ready for aggressive leadership on climate change--and pave the way for truly historic commitments at the G8 summit this June.

It's a rare opportunity to have a global impact. Add your voice to the petition now:

https://www.avaaz.org/en/climate_action_germany/tf.php

50,000 people from 131 countries have already demanded action. Our goal is to reach 100,000. Please sign the petition, forward this email to friends and family, and post the link on your blog--we only have a few days to make this statement count.

If we add our voices together, now, 2007 can become the year we took the first step to save the world.

With hope,

Ricken, David, Iain, Lee-Sean, Galit, Graziela, and the rest of the Avaaz.org team"

Hallo liebe Delfin- und Walfreunde;

Vor ein paar Wochen nahmen Sie an meiner ONLINE-PETITION zum Schutz für die Delfine und Wale teil. Dafür möchte ich Ihnen ganz recht herzlich danken.

Was ist daraus geworden? Wie angekündigt, reiste ich zur CITES nach Genf und zur UNO/UNEP nach New York und setzte mich dort mit allen meinen Möglichkeiten für den Schutz der Meeressäuger ein.

Infos zur UNO-Aktion ersehen Sie auf meiner Homepage: https://walschutzaktionen.de/44552.html

Wie geht es weiter?

Ein weiteres wichtiges Projekt steht im „Jahr des Delfins“ an! Es handelt sich um die Bedrohungen für die Meeressäuger im Mittelmeer. Mit einem Partner-Verein zusammen wollen wir die riesige Menge an Plastik-Müll, welcher für viele Meeresbewohner eine tödliche Gefahr darstellt, im Meer reduzieren.

Wir starten ein Pilot-Projekt in der Küstenregion von Livorno/Italien. Wenn es erfolgreich ist, dann kann es von vielen weiteren Regionen und Ländern übernommen werden. Bei diesem Projekt sind wir auf die Unterstützung von FÖRDERER und SPONSOREN angewiesen.

Wenn es Ihnen in irgendeiner Weise möglich ist, dann möchte ich Sie herzlich darum bitten, dieses Projekt für den Schutz der Delfine und Wale im Mittelmeer zu unterstützen.

Infos zur Aktion „Plastik aus dem Meer“ ersehen Sie auf meiner Homepage: https://walschutzaktionen.de/138201.html

Bei Fragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

Right now, you are one of about 6100 persons who have signed our petition. Thank you! Please continue recommending people you know to sign at https://www.marschen.se/viewpage.php?page=124

(NOTE: You don\'t have to sign the petition again. Once is enough.)


CONTINUE FILING COMPLAINTS ABOUT INACCESSIBILITY

The more who file complaints about the inaccessibility in Sweden to The Swedish Disability Ombudsman (Handikappombudsmannen) and local authorities (byggnadsnämnder), the faster we\'ll get a law enacted. With Independent Living Insitutes electronic complaint form you can do this and everyone can access the complaints you file.

The form has not yet been translated into English. If you don\'t know Swedish and want to file a complaint, please e-mail hans.filipsson@independentliving.org and you will be aided.

If you know Swedish, start filing complaints today at https://www.independentliving.org/ho/


Best wishes
