Timberlane Urges Action On Greenhouse Gas
STRATHAM, N.H. (AP) ―
The Timberland Co. is leading a new initiative urging world leaders to limit the greenhouse gas emissions widely blamed for global warming.
The New Hampshire-based footwear and apparel company on Monday will launch "Don't Tell Us It Can't Be Done," an online effort to get the public involved in the climate change debate.
The focus is next month's climate change summit in Copenhagen. Timberland is creating an online petition asking world leaders to produce a legally binding treaty to cut the emissions and a Web site where visitors can stay up-to-date on the conference.
Nearly 200 world leaders have been invited to the United Nations conference, which follows two years of tough negotiations to draft a climate change agreement to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
