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.

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 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!

Today, MP @jenicaatwin presented e-petition 4127 to ban #glyphosate to the Minister of Health.

Over 18,000 Canadians voiced their support for a ban on this dangerous #pesticide. We’re excited to keep up this amazing momentum as we work towards a #pesticidefreefuture for all!
