Ditch plastic and make a difference for our planet

Ditch plastic and make a difference for our planet and your wallet. Check out the below article on @vegnews It mentions our 2023 research, carried out in conjunction with our young plastics campaigner Maya (@theepa2012) , where we found that each Canadian family could save as much as 716 CAD over the school year if they switch from single-use plastic to reusable options.

Did you know that #Canada is home to the largest number of #bumblebee species in the world? There are approximately 45 different species of bumble bees native to Canada, making it a true haven for these fuzzy pollinators. Let's work together to protect their habitats and ensure a thriving future for our buzzing buddies.

Corn on the cob is one of the best tastes of summe

Corn on the cob is one of the best tastes of summer in Canada. Do you really want to eat genetically modified (GM) sweet corn? So why is Whole Foods selling GM corn? Our colleagues at the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network #CBAN just found GM sweet corn in the produce sections of seven Whole Foods Markets in BC and Ontario: in Oakville, Mississauga, Yorkville, Yonge & Sheppard, and Ottawa, and in West Vancouver and Victoria stores. GM sweet corn could also be in the other stores in BC and Ontario. The GM sweet corn is identified as “bioengineered” on signs next to the corn bins.

Exposure to the pesticides used in growing GM sweet corn is linked to human health risks. Research links the herbicide glyphosate to health problems including cancer, neurological diseases, endocrine disruption and birth defects.

The best way to avoid genetically modified (GM) sweet corn is to buy organic if you can. Certified organic produce is non-GM organic farming prohibits the use of GMOs.

You can help by emailing customer.questions@wholefoods.com and telling them to remove GM sweet corn and eliminate all GM fruits and vegetables from Whole Foods’ produce section. For background, read our letter to Whole Foods.

Friends of Earth Canada applauds the bold action taken by Bloom & Partners alongside eight climate victims!

Last month, Bloom (France), Santé Planétaire (France), and Nuestro Futuro (Mexico) filed a criminal case against TotalEnergies' board and shareholders. This case, backed by eight victims of climate disasters, seeks to hold them accountable for their contribution to climate change's devastating impacts.

These victims, from around the world, have lost loved ones, faced trauma, and seen their lives uprooted due to heatwaves, floods, and other extreme weather events.
