As a mother, a health professional and WindShare member, I urge you to save the lives of 1000 or more Ontarians, and save millions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs, by calling for an early phase out of coal generated power.

Nurses, doctors release new coal death statistics
At a Queen’s Park news conference today, Wendy Fucile of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario and Dr. Hilary de Veber of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment called on Premier McGuinty to phase-out our dirty coal plants now – four years ahead of schedule – to save 1,000 lives. http://www.cleanairalliance.org/node/827/
The OCAA has clearly documented that Ontario now has more than sufficient coal-free power to keep the lights on. Let’s stop putting dirty power ahead of public health.
Please contact Opposition Leader Tim Hudak and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath and ask them to support the call for an early coal phase-out (and please cc me).
Please pass this message on to your friends.
Thank you,
