Your Giving Tuesday support makes an impact!

Your donation will ensure our work continues, on the ground, in gardens and farms for the Bee Cause, in courts to combat climate change and in kitchens and classrooms across Canada to halt plastic pollution.

The Friends of the Earth team is working hard to protect bees, birds, butterflies and babies from harmful pesticides, and we continue the fight to ban bee-toxic pesticides. We’re inspiring young people and their families across Canada to ditch plastic pollution and support Canadian leadership for a new global treaty to address the life cycle of plastic pollution.

Our work has impact – it helps to set precedents in our courts for ensuring a safe, healthy environment for all of us, it holds polluters accountable, it empowers you to impact important government decisions like making polluters pay for their greenhouse gas emissions and it educates the public on important matters like the huge value in saving wild, native bees.

“Plastic pollution harms all of us, our plants, our soil, our animals, our planet, and even ourselves. Let's reduce single-use plastics in our school lunches and help our family’s budget and our planet.” – Maya Thiru

Friends of the Earth’s Plastic-Free Lunch campaign empowers students, parents, and teachers to effect positive change in their school community by raising awareness of plastic pollution.

It also offers instructions for conducting a survey of single-use plastic waste from home lunches along with advice on how to share results to advocate for positive change.

TAKE ACTION: Stop plastic companies from weakening

TAKE ACTION: Stop plastic companies from weakening Canada's negotiating stance on plastic pollution! Send your letter to Minister Guilbeault by end of the day Sunday September 17th.

We need your help to insist Canada takes a strong position against plastic pollution. The only way to prevent industry from succeeding is to overwhelm Environment and Climate Change Canada with Canadians calling for a strong position on ending plastic production and consumption.

There are only 72 hours left.

Please send your letter and share this message with family, friends, and colleagues.

🔥 Smoke from wildfires is not the only source of air pollution threatening the health of Canadians. According to Health Canada, diesel emissions in major cities and along transportation corridors are a major health threat to Canadians.

Doctors and environment groups are calling for federal action on truck pollution, saying the government could save thousands of lives by closing federal loopholes for highly polluting heavy trucks.

@cape_doctors and Friends of the Earth Canada, represented by @ecojustice_ca, have petitioned the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development to investigate what the federal government is doing to curb diesel emissions.

📢 "As smoky air blankets much of Canada and offers a mere glimpse of what lies in store as global temperatures continue to rise, there is hope that in cases like Mathur v Ontario, the courts will refuse to be silent bystanders while the climate crisis erodes the ecological foundations of life on this planet."

This week, Maya had the opportunity to present ‘Maya’s Plastic Pollution Campaign’ to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Canada, @stevenguilbeault, along with several other Ministers on Parliament Hill.

This was an exciting step towards banning harmful plastic price look-up stickers in Canada and a perfect way to celebrate Canadian Environment Week! 🌱

Thank you MP @gary_srp for facilitating such an incredible experience!

💚✨ After more than two months, Maya's Plastic

💚✨ After more than two months, Maya's Plastic Pollution Campaign has finally come to a close! Over 2,400 individuals across Canada pledged to combat plastic pollution, including over 68 classrooms, and THOUSANDS of plastic price look-up stickers (PLUs) were kept out of our wastewater and composting facilities. Thank you to everyone who participated!

💪 The fight doesn't stop here. We demand greater action from our politicians on plastic pollution, and we'll keep pushing until Canada's single-use plastic ban includes plastic PLUs.

👂 We’d also love to hear your advice on which plastic products need to be banned and which companies should be making switches from plastic to certified compostable products and packaging. Let us know in the comments below!
