Take Action

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop plastic companies from weaken Canada’s negotiating stance on plastic pollution.

The plastic companies are instructing their employees to participate in the federal government’s consultation on the legally binding Global Plastic Treaty in order to weaken Canada’s negotiating stance on 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.

Numbers count! There are only 72 hours left and we really need your help to insist the Canada takes a strong position against plastic pollution – send your letter to Minister Guilbeault by end of the day Sunday September 17^th.

Join us in calling for a comprehensive plan to reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2030. 

Right now (summer 2023), the federal government is preparing its plan to reduce risk from pesticides by 50% by 2030 under Target Seven of the Biodiversity Strategy for Canada.  The pesticide companies are spending big money on lobbyists and advertising to undermine Canada’s reduction target – they’re saying that only by using more pesticides will we assure food security. Public pressure is the only tool we have to make sure the key programs are put in place to deliver measurable pesticide reduction. Join us in calling for a comprehensive plan to reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2030.

Ten year-old Maya and Friends of the Earth launched Maya’s Plastic Pollution Campaign. Its goal was to raise awareness of plastic price look-up stickers (PLUs) on fruits and vegetables and the ways in which they can harm our environment, and to call on the federal government to include these stickers under an expansion of the country’s single-use plastics ban. #ExpandTheBan.
