Please distribute widely!!!!

June 1- June 5 San Francisco is hosting the U.N. World Environment Days.
Those slated to attend the conference include UN Secretary General Kofi
Annan, Klaus Toepfer, executive director of the United Nations Environment
Program, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and mayors from
London, Shanghai, Kabul, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Rome,
and Istanbul.

cities to establish guidelines for environmentally sensible urban life,"
Newsom said. "This conference is a remarkable opportunity for all of us."

This is truly a remarkable opportunity for all of us...because poor
