How will you spend your Climate Action Dividend?

Dear Friend of Climate Action,

This month, you'll receive a $100 climate action dividend from the BC government. What will you do with your money?

It's intended to help you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and is
part of B.C.'s "revenue neutral" carbon tax announced earlier this year. In total, it is $440 million going back into the hands of British Columbians to take action on climate change. If we pool our resources, we can have a much bigger impact than our individual $100 cheques ever could.

We want to let you know about the Green Your Campbell Cash
website developed by The Tyee, the Western Canada Wilderness Committee,
Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, the David Suzuki Foundation and
the Pembina Institute. The site is designed to showcase collective
climate action projects occurring throughout B.C. to which you can
pledge your support -- and your climate action dividend.

How to Green Your Campbell Cash

B.C.-based organizations and individuals are invited to submit climate action projects
geared toward education, advocacy, public engagement, adaptation,
emission reductions or carbon capture. All projects will be reviewed by
Tyee staff prior to being published on the site, and those that meet
the campaign's guidelines will receive their own project page
describing the scope of their project and fundraising goals.

As a visitor to the site, you can browse through the projects, vote
for your favourites and pledge your support by contacting project leads
directly to make a donation. You can also submit your own climate
action project.

If you'd rather spent your $100 some other way, you can share your commitment
with others on the site. You can also send your favourite projects to
your friends and social networks using the sharing tools provided.

Why Green Your Campbell Cash?

Maybe your neighbourhood could benefit from a community garden or a
bike co-op. Perhaps your child's school could drastically reduce
emissions by switching to solar power. Whatever the case, we believe
that by taking collective action, we can take bigger steps against
climate change and work to ensure B.C.'s climate action dividend truly
makes a difference throughout B.C. communities. We hope you'll join in
and Green Your Campbell Cash.

Sincerely,

Green Your Campbell Cash Founding Partners
