World rallies for action on global warming as UN climate talks begin

Transforming Toronto, a citizens’ group working on energy issues, is encouraging supporters to attend a rally, march and “eco-fair” in downtown Toronto this Saturday, Dec. 8.

The rally, sponsored by the Toronto Climate Campaign, begins at 12:00 noon at Yonge and Dundas Square. At 1:30 p.m. a “March for Clean Energy” will head over to Hart House at the University of Toronto. At 2:00 p.m. the “eco-fair,” with a complimentary hot meal, will allow visitors to connect with non-governmental organizations, volunteer groups, and green businesses.

Climate change events are taking place in 60 countries to send a message to the United Nations Climate Conference, which began talks Monday in Bali, Indonesia, and runs for two weeks.
