A frightening new report reveals that we’re ingesting between 70,000 and 120,000 pieces of toxic microplastic a year through our food and water. Toxic plastic in our bodies can lead to dangerous inflammation.
For years, Elizabeth has been calling for a ban on wasteful single-use plastics, which degrade into microplastics. Now the whole country is on our side.
More than eight in 10 Canadians want the government to tackle plastic pollution. If we make this petition as big as possible, Elizabeth can use it to show that there’s overwhelming support for banning single-use plastics. Real change is possible. Will you add your name?
Canada’s plastic habit is out of control. We generate about 3.25 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, and only 11 per cent is recycled.
Greens are working in the House to follow Europe’s lead by banning single-use plastics like straws, plastic bags and coffee cup lids, and promoting sustainable marketplace solutions. Can you support Elizabeth May, Paul Manly and the Green Party’s work by adding your name to this petition?
