Dear John,
Think about it. Since 1999, so much has changed! There was the introduction of the euro, the Y2K scare, the move from ICQ to MSN to iMessage, the rise and fall of Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry phones and the shift from Blockbuster rentals to streaming on Netflix. It was also the end of dial up internet, Pluto was officially no longer a planet and Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time” reached top charts.
But one thing is still stuck in 1999: the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) – the law that’s supposed to protect our health and the environment from harmful chemicals in makeup, cleaning products, food packaging, furniture, and the air we breathe.

This means that for the last 20 years, the government has failed to protect Canadians and the environment from exposure to hormone disruptors and countless harmful toxics in consumer products. The government made a promise to strengthen CEPA but we have yet to see any action. We’ve waited 20 years too long, we can’t afford to wait any longer. The next few months are critical. Join us in urging the government to update CEPA by this October. Tell Canada to stop delaying action and protect us from toxic chemicals today! Sincerely, |
