By illuminating the health risks associated with candles, we draw attention to the broader issue of environmental factors frequently overlooked in health care, write Anuja Purohit @anujapurohitx and Zeina Seaifan of @WHENonline. #CEPA #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2023/10…
Right now, we have the chance to advocate for comprehensive regulations that protect us from exposure to all sources of PFAS — a.k.a. “forever chemicals.” Add your voice! act.environmentaldefence.ca/…

A new #PlasticsTreaty may not be enough to address #plasticcrisis. National laws and regulations are needed to reduce #plasticproduction, address #plasticpollution and achieve true #CircularEconomy @brkfreeplastic @IPEN_AF @CEJADKenya @groundWorkSA manilatimes.net/2023/04/06/o…

Hey @Dow_Canada, @ImperialOil, & @NOVAChemicals, stop fighting Canada’s progress on plastic pollution. Right now, >90% of plastic ends up as garbage or litter—where it wreaks havoc on wildlife🐢🦦. I want real solutions, not more pollution! #StopBigPlastic

Friends, it's been a difficult 24 hours. Staff harassed for meals. A service user and security guard assaulted. Through it all, you have donated and filled our hearts with gratitude. Every cent will support people experiencing homelessness. Thank you. See our statement ⬇️
