Friends,

Climate change is scary business. Wildfires, drought, rising seas -- the reality of climate change is a frightening prospect.

But do you know what's particularly scary here in Canada this Halloween? Despite the clear threat of climate change, the largest tar sands pipeline ever proposed, TransCanada's Energy East project, won't be receiving a climate review. This thing is being waived on through -- even with a climate impact equal to over 7 million cars!

This Halloween, we're shining a light on the Energy East climate nightmare. We're going to put the scare into politicians and demand that they start taking the climate impact of this pipeline seriously.

Will you join in? Click here to lead an action in your community.

On October 30th and 31st, we plan to carve and deliver hundreds of #NoEnergyEast Jack-o-Lanterns to elected officials all along the pipeline route. So far, the media and politicians have been hiding from the climate impact... of this pipeline, so we're going to light up the growing opposition along the pipeline route in a way they can't ignore.

Sign up here to register your action.

Leading an action is easy! Just gather your friends for a pumpkin carving party, deliver your Jack-o-Lantern to the home or office of one or more local elected officials, take lots of photos, reach out to local media, and help build a national narrative around Energy East as a climate nightmare. We've laid it all out in an easy-to-use action toolkit (including #NoEnergyEast Jack-O-Lantern templates). Once you register an action, you'll have access to even more tools.

Let's have some fun with this -- and make TransCanada's Halloween as scary as we can!

Onward,
