Clean Environment, Better Future August 2009

Dear Constituent,

Summer is a great time to enjoy the outdoors. Despite this summer's weather, our song birds and lush country side remind me how beautiful our part of Canada is. This month I'm writing to you about initiatives our government is taking to preserve Canada's natural habitat

Our government is setting new rules for the use of dangerous chemicals, advancing carbon capture technology, and helping thousands of homeowners make their houses more eco-friendly.

I've included more information about these and more initiatives below for you if you're interested.

As always, if you have any questions or wish to share your thoughts, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours Truly,

Rick
